Hidden Gems #1: Out on Location by Roy Walton and Karl Fulves

An easy, self-working card trick that can be performed with a borrowed pack.

Welcome to Hidden Gems, a regular column that unearths forgotten tricks from old magic books, manuscripts and periodicals. Each month, I'll share a magic trick I've recently discovered or kept to myself for a while. This month's trick falls into the latter category. It is a favourite double prediction effect of mine.

"Out on Location" is an easy, self-working card trick by the legendary Scottish magician Roy Walton and prolific American author Karl Fulves. It can even be performed with a borrowed pack in bad condition.
