These are indeed amusing tricks, especially for youngsters. Similar to "forcing" in card tricks.
Shuffle a deck of cards, as many times as necessary to show the person it's 'random'. As you pick up the deck casually glance at the bottom card.
(For illustration here, assume it's the 10 of clubs)
Put the deck in your front pants pocket.
Tell them you will pick the card out of 52 that THEY choose.
Ask them to pick two suits; If they pick Hearts and Diamonds, you say" Ok that leaves Clubs and Spades... pick one."
If they say Clubs you say "ok", if they say Spades you say "ok that leaves us with "Clubs" (actually YOUR forced choice).
Ask them to pick face cards or numeric (if they say numeric, perfect ... if they pick face cards you say "Ok, that leaves numeric."
Break the numerics down as needed through this question/answer scenario, you eventually 'force' their card to be the 10.
Then you spend about 15 seconds, hand in pocket, facial grimace's as needed to show your troubling search. Pull out the card off the bottom of the deck.
Amazing!
