I have learned this effect from Bob Solari's "Solari, Live in Your Living Room" D.V.D. When I watched the presentation I was blown away. Briefly a spectator freely selects a card they really sign it . Its mixed in the deck. The deck is divided into 3 piles. The spectator looks through each of the 3 piles to find his/her card. They can not find it! It has vanished. You then proceed to open a manila envelop which has been openly on the table the whole time, and the signed card is removed from the envelope. I have only showed this effect 5 times yet each time I have flawed my spectators. I did this at work in front 50 something people they all loved it. Since I learned this from Bob's DVD I did have everything I needed in the house. If I didn't it is no big deal the items are inexpensive and readily available. The method is genius, its easy to perform,and more importantly the effect is amazing and very entertaining.
