The knot is securely tied? The chosen card is still in the deck?During these three questions pass your hand rapidly in front of the deck and believe it or not, the spectator's card is now the face card of the deck.Your spectators can immediate examine the whole setup!How is this possible?How can the chosen card escape from the center and arrive at the face of the deck while the ribbon secures the cards?The most scrupulous examination will reveal nothing - the mystery will only deepen.Imagine the following...As soon as the spectator has finished his examination of the deck, you pass your hand once again over the spectator's card.And once again, the impossible happens.The spectator's card is now free! Yes, the spectator's card is the only card to have escaped the knotted ribbon.Give the card for examination. There's nothing to see - the hole remains intact.A passage of solid through solid - an unfathomable mystery !Remember the following points: No manipulation A completely impossible appearance and escape.
