Mind Kicker is a very powerful trick
with the added bonus of having a kicker
finish and it's one of my personal
favorites. Explain to the spectator that
you're going to riffle through the deck, and 
ask them to say stop at any card they choose.
(Stop!)
Once they've shouted stop ask them to 
memorize that card and not to tell anybody.
You can then go into a full-blown 
mind-reading routine. You can
milk this for as much as you want, and
really play to the crowd that you are in
fact reading the person's mind. Obviously
you can start off by explaining that
you're going to work out what suit,
whether it's a red or a black card. In
this instance I know it's a red card.
Then obviously we're off down the route of
is it hearts or diamonds, and in this
instance I can tell that it's a
heart. I can then work off whether it's a
high card, or a low card. I'm getting
neither it's probably somewhere in the
middle. That puts it around about six
seven or eight. I  know it's definitely
not the six, it's possibly a seven. It could
be the eight, but you want me to say eight,
but I think it's the seven, so I'm going to
go it's the 7 of hearts. If that's not
powerful enough you can then go straight
into the kicker finish where you explain
that, although they did a really good job
sending you that card you're slightly
confused, because you thought they would
pick the four of clubs. Not because it's
the one at the front, but in fact it is
the only card in the deck, and every card
is in fact the four of clubs, and this
will blow their minds,
and that's why we called it Mind Kicker.
