    How are these IMPOSSIBLE tricks done? Reacting to your answers...

    We asked the collective genius of our list for potential methods to achieve the following trick: You can have any card freely chosen, lost in the deck, and then… Drop the deck and let gravity cut to their card. Don’t even touch the deck, simply place it on the table and blow to their card. Pretend you’re Tiger Woods and with one clean stroke putt to their card. With a run up that makes you look like Ronaldo cleanly kick to their card.  Place the deck in front of your spectator and after a simple instruction they flick to their card.  In a completely impossibility the spectator picks up as many cards as they like and it’s revealed they’ve cut to their card. (oh and it needs to be done impromptu with a borrowed deck and without using any crimps, bends, or breathers!) We asked you all for answers and here's us reacting to them!
