When he had approached the girl, Zac noticed her hand moving in time with the music that was doubtlessly playing from her headphones, flowing elegantly across the table, as if there were an invisible set of piano keys beneath them. [i]Wonder if she plays piano?[/i] he wonders to himself as he sits down and pulls out a sealed deck of cards. "You'd be surprised how much I spend on playing cards," he says with a chuckle. "I just find people are more likely to believe in the magic if it's a fresh deck."

After unwrapping the box and slipping the cards out, he quickly shuffles the cards together. [i]Been awhile since I tried this trick,[/i] he thinks to himself as he bridges the cards together. [i]Hope I'm not too rusty.[/i] When they were shuffled to his liking, he places the deck on the table and spreads them out, much like a blackjack dealer at the casino. "Pick a card," he says. "Memorize what it is, then place it back in the deck. Be sure not to show me."
