Cheek To CheekMagi fans a deck of cards showing they are all face down. Deck is cut and half the pack is turned face up. The face up portion is shuffled into the face down and the deck is then ribbon spread to show them completely mixed up. Some face up some face down. Several of the face up cards are freely chosen by spectators, remembered, and returned to the spread face down. Once they are replaced, the deck is immediately squared up, a magical pass is made, and the deck ribbon spread again. Now all the cards are face down except the chosen ones.
A card man's dream. No sleights at all. Complete with the deck and routine.
