The effect: A deck of cards is shown and is shuffled. Three spectators are required to help you demonstrate your mastery of the past, present and future.
The first spectator selects a card, looks at it and returns it in the deck.
"A card was chosen, but now it is back from where it came from. It all took place in the past", you tell your audience.
You write a message on a paper, fold it and write PAST on its back.
The second spectator takes a card and puts in in his pocket without seeing the card. "You chose a card and hidden it in your pocket. It remains in the present." You write something on another paper, fold it and label it PRESENT.
"Before we continue, I will look into the future to ascertain an event yet to take place." You write on the third piece of paper, fold it and label it as FUTURE. The final spectator chooses a card and sets it aside on the table.
The first participant is asked what card he chose. He tells everyone it was, for example, the 5 of clubs. The paper marked PAST is opened and it is written "Jim chose 5 of clubs". The second person removes the card from his pocket and it was, for example, 9 of diamonds. The PRESENT paper is opened and it is written 9 od diamonds on it. The remaining paper (FUTURE) is opened and it says "Tom will choose 4 of hearts). The third person turn the card over and it is the 4 of hearts.
Not a bad trick, right? Wonder how it's done?

Do you actually have Doc Hilford's permission to be distributing that pdf?
I take it by your silence that you probably don't.
So why do you think it is ok to give away another magicians work? I assume you shoplift as well.
Rasputin the Magician would be proud of you; So keep up the good work in maintaining the art of Magic alive..
The Hobby of Magic Tricks needs to be share with all alike and with a style of brotherhhod among the performers and Prestidigitators.
