Magician takes the card places it in the deck and allows a the spectator to shuffle the cards. The magician takes a mousetrap, sets the trap and places it on the spectator's outstretched hand.

Nothing happens until the card with the mouse drawn on it touches and springs the trap, causing it to close on the selected card.
