The Impossible Reveal, Effortlessly Delivered

Imagine this: You begin your favorite signed card routine, like "The Ambitious Card," casually tossing an empty card box aside. As the routine concludes, all eyes are drawn to that box, which has remained untouched and far away from you since the start. With a clearly empty hand, you retrieve the box, give it a gentle shake, and a distinct rattle is heard from within. You open the lid, revealing a folded card inside. Tipped directly into their hands, the participant unfolds it themselves to discover it's *their* signed card. The impossibility of this moment will send shivers down their spines and secure your reputation as a true sorcerer.
