The Infamous One-Handed Card Trick by Paul Rathbun

A photo is shown with the magician’s empty hand behind his back. “That is what the trick looks like from the back” the magician explains. The photo is initialed and placed face down on the table. “I am going to do this trick one handed.” the magician says as he places his hand behind his back. The cards are riffled through with the other hand and the spectator calls stop. They peek at the card they stopped at and then a moment later it is shown to have disappeared from the deck. The magician then shows the peeked at card was in his hand behind his back. As a kicker ending when the photo is turned over, the selection is now inside the photo in the magician’s hand as well.
