Al Koran’s name will always be associated with this card trick. It came to light when he described an evening at the Embassy Club in London. He’d finished his show, and at 3 AM, he was backstage when someone asked Koran to do another trick. He had a trick in mind, but he was tired and thought it a good idea to play up the tiredness aspect.

The result was a presentation that has become known as the Lazy Magician’s Card Trick, a trick in which the spectator does all the work and finds their own selected card. It’s a hands-off miracle.
