Double Thought by Al Koran
Towards the back of Al Koran's "Professional Presentations" by Hugh Miller (p91), there is a wonderful card trick:
You give the spectator a pack of cards, which he or she shuffles. The spectator then gives you half the cards and keeps half for themselves. You each take a card out of your packet, look at it and return it to the packet. You swap packets and then each remove a card. You finally each reveal your chosen cards and turn over the removed cards to show that you have found the spectator's card and that the spectator has found your card.
It's an incredible trick. Sadly it is included unattributed in a set of instructions in a Boris Wild trick. Hopefully, this'll set the record right slightly!
Al Koran's "Professional Presentations" has been republished recently by Martin Breese. With other classics, such as The Gold Medallion, it's another book not to be missed.
