Trying to identify an old two-spectator card trick
​
I’m trying to remember the name of a card trick I learned from maybe 15+ years ago.
The routine used a normal deck, no duplicates or gimmicks.
Two spectators each select a card, and neither spectator sees the other person’s selection. Both cards are lost back into the deck.
The magician says they can identify the cards by looking for fingerprints on the backs of the cards, so the deck is spread face down. The magician pretends to inspect the backs of the cards for fingerprints, then finds Spectator 1’s card. Spectator 1 confirms it.
Then the magician secretly switches that found card for Spectator 2’s card and places it face down on the table, making everyone believe the face-down card is Spectator 1’s card.
After that, the magician spreads the deck face down again and gives Spectator 2 the face-down tabled card to hold, using it like a “magic wand” or pointer. Spectator 2 is told to point to any card in the spread, and that card will supposedly be their selection.
They point to a card, but it’s wrong. Then the magician asks something like, “Wait, what card have you been holding this whole time?” Spectator 2 turns over the face-down card and it’s revealed to be their own selected card.
Does anyone know the name of this routine or where it comes from? It feels like a full routine, not just a top change demo.
