Tossed Out Deck is a mentalism effect in which a deck of cards, held together by a rubber band, is tossed out to the audience for them to peek at a random card. After three or more people have selected a card in this manner, the mentalist can name all the cards selected.

Popularized by David Hoy as "Dr. Faust" in 1963, possibly the first to include more the one person in this kind of effect.

Was known to be performed by Orson Welles.
