Effect
The spectator selects a card from a deck of cards and replaces it. The magician cuts and shuffles it the deck. He then shows the top card (which is not the spectator’s) and place it under a handkerchief which is handed to the spectator. With a magic pass, the card in the handkerchief switches places with the spectators card in the deck.

Secret and Presentation
Have the spectator chose and replace a card on top of the deck. After they replace their card, give the deck a false cut. Follow this with a riffle shuffle keeping the top card on the top of the deck. Do a double lift to show a random card and turn them both face down again. Take the top card off of the deck (their card) and roll it into the handkerchief (face down), and hand them the handkerchief. From here on end, be creative in revealing the cards have switched places in the deck. You can even cut the deck when they see the cards have switched places so if they want to see where the card they saw go into the handkerchief went, they will see it went to the middle of the deck.

Deal 3 cards face up in a row, and continue dealing until you have 3 columns of  7 cards each. Then find the card the easy way. Ask the spectator to remember any one of the visible cards and to point out its column. Close up each column and combine them into a packet of 21 cards, putting the selected column between the other two. Again deal the 3 columns and have the spectator point to the one with his (or her) card. Again collect the 3 columns with the selected column between the others, and deal them out again. But this time, when the spectator points out the column, pick up that column first and put the other two on top of it.

Effect:

A coin is wrapped and set on a coaster on top of a glass. The package is tapped, and the coin falls through to the glass.

Secret:

This takes a bit of practice. Take a coin and wrap it in a piece of paper leaving one side open. Secretly slide the coin out of the package into your hand as you hold it. Set the paper down and pick up a coaster. Set the coaster on top of the upright glass, secretly placing the coin on the rim of the glass or tumbler balanced by the coaster. Place the package on top of the coaster and say you will make the coin penetrate through the coaster. Give a firm tap to the package, thus knocking the balancing coin into the glass. You might want to have the coin marked to prove it is the same one.
