Stop Trick is a classic card routine where a selected card is found in deck at the point a spectator says "Stop" as the cards are being dealt face down on to the table by the magician or the spectator. Another variation is for the magician to say "stop" while the spectator is dealing. See also Any Card at Any Number.

- This version, however, the magician says "stop". From the advertisement "After shuffling his own pack, anyone thrusts the joker in, noting the card lying above it. After cutting, he deals the pack into two heaps and hands you one of them, retaining the other. He thinks hard of his card and you both begin dealing from your packets in unison. When you stop he does, and turning up the card he stopped at he finds it is the one he selected."
