"Baglas..." Jiang Shu muttered.
If there was any magic in this world that truly baffled people, it surely had to be this one.
An extraordinarily simple process, yet extraordinarily powerful in effect.
The trick's entire process involved no contact, which made it particularly impervious to fault-finding.
It appeared as if the magician did nothing, but the untouched playing cards displayed a terrifying magical effect; the random numbers and cards spoken by the audience were predicted by the deck.
It seemed that resorting to sleight of hand was the only explanation.
But obviously, it couldn't be such a low-level tactic, or it wouldn't have troubled so many excellent magicians.
Perhaps, perhaps a sufficiently sophisticated automatic device could perform such magic, allowing the cards to autonomously change suits and values or change the order of the deck without anyone noticing.
But such a device would seem too miraculous.
