Head Banger Card Trick
Your spectator freely selects a card from the deck, memorizes it and replaces it at the bottom of the deck. The spectator then places the deck back in it's packet. The magician then reveals the card in their own crazy, Rock and Roll style ???
Performance : The deck of cards is openly shown to be completely normal.
The cards are spread out face down and the spectator is asked to freely choose any card that they wish. The value of the card is kept hidden from the magician. T
he card is then reinserted back on the bottom of the pack by the spectator who then places the deck of cards back inside their packet.The magician then chatters on about how they will use some head banging magic ( good opportunity for you to improvise on your patter here. ) to find the card.
The magician then taps the closed packet of cards a few times against his forehead and then amazingly announces the spectator's chosen card ???How To Do this Trick

Tips: Make sure that the spectator places the cards back in the empty card packet face down.
Hand them the card packet front side up, or even better hold out the empty packet in your hand and let them put the cards back in while you continue holding the packet. ( This reduces the risk of them viewing the hole at the back of the packet. )
