2 of a Kind

Effect: The magician picks out two card. He has the spectator cut the deck. He flips over the cards that he picked, and then he flips over the card of the deck that was cut. The cards match.

Method: Shuffle the deck so the spectator doesn't think you've rigged it. Tell them that you will pick two cards. Go through the deck making sure you look at the bottom and the top cards of the deck. Pick out the cards that matches the bottom card. (If the bottom card is a Four of Hearts, you would pick out the Four of Diamonds to match it). Then pick out of a card that match that is the same as the top card. Ask the spectator to cut the deck. Take the first card, the one on top of the original top of the deck, and flip it over. Flip the bottom half of the deck over completely. Flip over the cards you picked. They all match!
