Ok. Is it impromptu or can it be done with the spectator's deck?
Guess 2 and 3:
UCCU (very well executed)
Marked Cards :P

Do you mind telling me the music you used? Is it Lindsey Stirling?

Haha I think there's a week time limit, though that's really short so it might be extended.

The rules imply that you have to answer any questions we have about it, because then we're narrowing down to the answer, if you don't tell us when we're right or wrong then it's just a random guessing game

UCCU is a pocket in your shirt where you can drop one or several cards and retrieve them as easily.
It's a topit specifically designed for playing cards.

This way the spectator can shuffle the deck as much as they like. Their selected card will always be on top when they hand you the deck again.

I'm sorry but a video can not clarify if the effect is impromptu or not.

Since you're hesitating to answer the impromptu question, I'm gonna assume it's not.
Next guess: Since it's not a crimp, do you add wax, fanning powder or any other substance to the chosen card?

btw I'm still waiting for a response about my effect :P
If the time limit has been extended you should let me know, also if there's a thread in the premium section by now.

ok, it is NOT impromptu, but no substance is added to the playing cards :) and theres no UCCU involved either.

Good. Next question. Can the spectator place the card back into the deck or do you have to do it yourself?

Maybe my question was not precise enough :P
Can they place it anywhere in the spread or do you dribble the cards and they place it ;)

So maybe the card above or underneath has some sticky stuff like wax or glue on it which allows for easy location of the card.

It's hard to think of a method when there are so many impromptu methods to do it :P

Thanks for the song ID, btw.

Also, keep the rules in mind ;) "if you are using a gimmicked deck etc, say so!"

So if anything in that deck is atypical (meaning if I handed you one of my own decks out of the blue, could you do this trick?), then you have to let us know

Well then.
It's either sticky stuff on the card above or below, or both cards are prepared e.g with a magnet and a shim.
