Turn your back and holding the pack behind you invite a spectator to make a free cut, then take off the card on the lower section, look at it and remember it. As he looks at it turn facing him and explain that you propose to find his card by the fingerprints he leaves on it. Meantime quietly slip the bottom card, your key card, to the top of the portion left in your hand after the cut.

Under pretense of looking for fingerprints, find the key card, the one above it is the selected card.
