ALL COPIES WERE HAND-AUTOGRAPHED BY STEVE BEAM

Steve Beam has been closing his shows and his lectures for around 50 years with this multiple selection routine. It does not require any sleight of hand but does require practice and sleight of mind. 

The spectators have free choices of the cards they select, and they lose the cards in the deck themselves! You then reveal every selection with 100% accuracy.

Here is how Steve introduced the trick in the booklet:
“When I want to fool a large group of magicians, this is the trick I reach for. It is guaranteed to leave those not familiar with it groping for a solution. If I want to entertain a large group of laymen with a card trick, this is the trick I reach for. I have performed it for so long that I have developed bits of business which make it a very entertaining effect for magicians and laymen. I have used it for audiences ranging in size from six to six hundred and I have used it to close my lecture[s].”

The procedure basically has Five to Nine spectators cut to a card in the deck, remember it, and bury it. You don’t touch the deck during the selection process. The deck is then shuffled and cut by the final spectator. With humorous byplay you find and reveal each of the selections. This is a complete fooler, and includes the patter that makes it extremely entertaining.
