“Impossible!” This is the reaction you’ll evoke from your audience after performing this astonishing effect. “Unbelievable!” That’s what you’ll think once you uncover the secret behind it.

PICK-ME, crafted by Mickael Chatelain, is hailed as a groundbreaking creation. “Take a look at this 100% accurate description! PICK-ME is simply the most incredible thing I’ve been able to come up with for a long time,” says Mickael Chatelain.

Effect: Begin by retrieving a deck of cards, a marker, and some stickers from your jacket pocket. Invite a spectator to sign a sticker with the marker. Next, present the deck, showcasing both sides to confirm that it consists of entirely different cards. Everything appears transparent so far!

Allow your spectator to freely select a card from the deck, with no pressure or forcing involved. Once chosen, they sign their card with the marker, which is then lost in the deck—its location unknown to anyone, including you!

Without any sleight of hand, place the entire deck back into its case and seal it. The spectator seals the case with their signed sticker, ensuring that no manipulation can occur. They can even shake the case to confirm the deck is inside and that the sticker securely seals it.

Now, take the sealed case and slip it into your jacket pocket. Ask your spectator how much time they believe it would take to remove the sticker, retrieve the deck, find their card, and reseal everything—especially since the deck is now in your pocket!

As they ponder this seemingly impossible task, reveal your empty hand and slowly approach your pocket. Ask them to count, then swiftly reach into your jacket. In an instant, your hand emerges holding just one card between your thumb and index finger!
