Card Tricks
The Switch by Shin Lim
Imagine placing a Mystery card on a table, in someone’s hand, in a clearbox, well… anywhere. This is done in full view of the audience. You then have a another spectator select a random card and sign it. On your command you cause their signed card to vanish completely from the deck. The spectator is asked to open her hands, the mystery card that the spectators has been holding the entire time is opened. It is the signed selection!
