Once you select a colour or suit it halves the odds. Soon its' only 1:13
Add to that a bit of preparation (as described earlier) and/or some sleight-of-hand and anything is possible.
I have a few tricks (up my sleeve) and one I recently demonstrated is very effective and quite impossible to figure out how it's done.
It consists of someone tossing a pound/10p (not tried it with 50p) coin, catching it and then placing it on the back of their hand - all in full view of everyone (including me, obviously.)
I can then tell them whether it's heads or tails with +90% success. (i.e. much better than 50/50, as should be the case.) And this was over 20+ attempts.
I didn't supply the coin, and no-one is in league with me - standard UK currency.
