On the table is a nice stand that could have been a part of a futuristic space movie. Its made for the year 2003 and well into the next century. It has a thin base with a clear frame mounted on two rods. You give a spectator an empty envelope and ask him to seal it and then sign it. The envelope is then placed on another table in full sight all the time or even kept in the spectators pocket. From a deck another spectator selects a card--any card. Absolutely no force. The selected card is also signed or marked and placed into the futuristic frame. Now the card is covered with a silk or a piece of cloth. A magic spell and you remove the cover. The card is gone! The frame is absolutely empty! You show your hands empty as well and ask the spectator to hand over the envelope. Show it from both sides. It still sealed and signed. From your pocket you take a letter opener and open the envelope for the first time. From this very same envelope you take out a card and give it to the spectator for identification. It is the freely chosen and marked card! It sounds impossible but this is exactly what the spectators see. Please note: There is no switch of card, the envelope is not prepared in any way and there is no force. The precision made apparatus is under your full control all the time. An ideal trick for stage and parlor magic which packs flat for transport.
