The cards are then squared up and then held open for the spectator to place their card back in the pack as shown in this photo.
Obtain a pinky break on top of bottom pile when inviting the person to place back their card.
They will unknowingly, place their card on top of your fingertip.
Next, put the top pile back on top of bottom pile. Two packs are easy to separate due to pinky break.
Break not visible to spectator due to viewing angle.
Take the top pile and place it on table. Now take the bottom pile that's still in your hand and place it on top of the other pile.

Their chosen card is now on bottom of the pack.
Now ask your spectator to curl their first and second finger and hold deck firmly between these two fingers.
The magician now announces that they will will use the enchanted deck spell to find the card.
Now, slap the deck in a quick downward motion a few times until only one card remains sandwiched between the spectator's fingers.
This card is turned over and is their chosen card to their amazement.
