Take eight blank visiting cards. On seven of them, stick the pictures of men of various professions along with names written under them. On another card, stick the picture of a lovely young girl. I use pictures of Doctor, Engineer, Advocate, Pilot, Businessman, Flimstar, Astronaut, and a Queen cut out from Children's wordbook. Keep all the cards held together with a rubber band in your wallet.
Presentation : Take out the cards and show them to your spectators. Point out the girl (on the card) and say that a selection of the appropriate bridegroom will be made by Magic.
Display the seven other cards and say that these are the persons who have crossed different hurdles to win the girl and now will appear for the final selection. Offer the seven cards to your spectator to be shuffled. Ask him to mentally select any card that he feels to be the best as bridegroom and note its position from the top of the facedown pack. Take back the pack behind your back and secretly transfer three cards from top to the bottom of the pack. Explain you are energising the spectator's selection magically so that only it can withstand the tough competition. Offer the pack to your spectator and ask him to transfer a certain number of cards from the top to the bottom of the pack equal to the number at which his card was located. In other words, if the spectator's card was at the fourth position of the facedown pack from top he should transfer four cards from the top to the bottom of the pack.
Now take the girl card and put it at the bottom of the facedown packet in spectator's hand. Explain that the girl will find the bridegroom, which the spectator has thought to be the best suited for her.
Ask your spectator to give you one card and transfer the next one to the bottom of the deck until only two cards are left. Ask him to turn the pair of cards face-up and that would reveal the girl with her bridegroom as selected by the spectator.
