The Final Stop - Sean Taylor (SM4)

I will let Sean describe this for you: Imagine this.    You have a small black envelope, you shake the envelope and a card can be heard inside. You allow the audience to look inside where they can clearly see a single card.    A pack of cards is spread cleanly on the table. It's obviously shuffled, complete and normal (in fact, you don't touch them from this point, the spectator handles them throughout and can take them home).    You explain clearly what will happen. The spectator is to deal the cards face up on the table and they can stop dealing at any card. You explain that the card they stop at and the card in your envelope will match perfectly. You proceed to do exactly that. The spectator deals the cards and stops at any point (they can deal to the very last card if they so wish). There's no adding up numbers or shaking dice, they simply deal the cards and stop. When they stop dealing, you pick up the envelope and very cleanly tip out a single card which is a perfect match.     T
