* Magician Ricky Jay pulls several versions of this in his stage shows, notably "Ricky Jay and his Fifty-two Assistants". In that show he has several audience members select different cards during the same trick, and then produces them in order in a series of elaborate shuffles and flourishes. After one complex cut he produces the Ace of Clubs and shows it to the lady who drew that card, only for her to inform him that she drew the Four of Diamonds. He turns the card around, revealing her card, saying, "If you insist."

* Magician and psychologist Richard Wiseman has described performing a version of this trick for the Magic Circle in which none of the professional magicians could work out how he did it, since they could see he wasn't using the standard methods. It turned out that it would never occur to a professional magician that anyone would use a deck of cards that are all the same, despite it being the first thing you have to show a layman you aren't doing.
