The Prediction: A sealed prediction is entrusted to an audience member throughout the entire act, ensuring no switches occur.
The Game: On stage, five spectators join the action at a table with a deck of cards. A random player shuffles the cards and re-cases them to prevent any tampering by the performer, who explains the rules of blackjack. There are no false shuffles or sleights involved. Each player receives a face-down card followed by a face-up card from the dealer.
