The effect — what they see
From a shuffled deck the spectator deals a handful of face-up cards, and you build each into a small heap. With your back turned the spectator privately pockets three top cards, sets those heaps aside, and gathers the rest for you. Although you never glimpse the chosen cards, you reveal the exact total of their spots.

Projected Thought
A spectator merely thinks of a card, then opens a sealed prediction that names their card and even predicts its final position in the deck.
Weirdo
You write a card's name, a spectator freely picks a counting number, and your written card appears at that exact spot.
A Prediction
Two prediction cards are set aside; a spectator's free arithmetic leads to a counted card that matches them exactly.
