The Think of a Card is a mentalism effect in which a spectator merely thinks of a card and the performer locates it.

The magician allows the spectator to think of a card by:

Displaying the faces of a small packet of cards
Dispalying all the cards in the deck or apparently all the cards
Allowing the spectator to just think of the value and suit of any card in the deck.

The magician reveals the thought of card in one of two ways:

A card is identified (i.e. placed down on the table or sticking up out of a fan) and then displayed after the spectator announces the thought of card.
The spectator announces the card and then the card is revealed in a unique way. For example, it's the only red backed card in the blue deck.
