What you need? All you need is a borrowed deck.
The Trick: Ask your spectator to randomly choose any fifteen cards from the deck at random. After they deal 15 cards down onto the table, square up the pack and get a glimpse of the bottom card. After this is done, set the deck down and leave the room. The rest is easy. Instruct them to pick any card out of the pack and memorize it. Then tell them to place it on top of the deck, and proceed to singly cut the deck as many times as they please, to ensure it is thouroughly lost in the deck. After they are satisfied, have them put the deck in dealing grip, and name to you, from top to bottom, all fifteen cards. Once you hear the name of the card you saw (from the bottom), the next card he says will be his card.
The trick is so simple that it is almost embarassing teaching it, but the effect is astronomical. For the patter, I usually say "my uncle is a P.I and he studies the voice patterns when people speak. I will now try do do the same thing, but with cards."
