This is kind of a easy trick he is doing, but requires preparation of the deck of cards. The magician have 2 deck of cards, that have been careful designed to look like a brand new deck of cards. One deck of cards is in his right pocket and one deck of cards is in his left pocket. Actually both boxes have already been open. Both box of cards are stacked in a certain order and then the boxes are carefully sealed back with the clear wrapper, as if never been open. * Notice how quickly he tears away the clear wrapper.
* 1st of all the guy with the long hair is in on the trick. He plays off as if he is not. He is already told what card to pick. He goes alone with it and together they fool the audience.
2nd he asked him what card he gets, to distract the audience.
* noticed the left hand with the shuffle cards reaches in the left pocket ( away from the audience view ) and the right hand reaches in the inside coat pocket for the black marker. ( the magician places the shuffle cards into the left pocket quickly, taking one card from the shuffle of card and placing it on top of the other new deck of cards ). As he pretends to fumble a few seconds for the black marker, he is at the same time making sure the left hand with the deck of cards is set right, with the one card on top facing down properly.
Notice when he sign the card with the marker, that he never shows the audience the signed card. He quickly places it into the deck of cards. ( he places the signed card on the bottom of the box. ) Therefore the audience can not verify if it is the same signature on the the card. The box is visible at 2:48. You can see the red on the side of the card box, when a deck of shuffle cards are white on the sides when stacked together.
The magician right hand thumb is underneath the box holding the signed card, while his right hand index, middle and etc fingers are on top of the box, squeezing the top and bottom cards together, so that when he remove the cards together, it looks like one card he is taking. And now, the guy has just the brand new box of cards alone. 3:35.
The original clear seal is recreated using the same plastic material and carefully redesigned by using the old seal as a layout design to create a the seal. * This is the hardest part of the trick, is making sure the new created seal looks professional made, and placed on the outside of the box of cards carefully. At 3:53 you can see a little piece of where a small piece of the plastic seal is sticking up a little and not folded down firmly.
This is a good trick and is one that requires practice.

This was a good one. But there’s a trick to it, that makes it hard to figure out how it is done. Can anyone guess how this is done?
