The Mindpower deck by Jon Kennedy. This is such a strong effect, and it was my go-to mentalism effect. Spectator thinks of a card from a spread deck, and you're able to read their mind. I dont think that Im exposing anything by saying that you need to ask some questions and "fish" for their card. SOmetimes spectators think that I'm just doing a process of elimination to get to their thoght of card. How can I disquise the neceary "fishing" so it wont appear that Im simply using process of elimintation to get to their card?
 
You should check out "Smoke" by Derren Brown. You can find his explanation on The Devil's Picturebook. You could even just watch a performance of it on YouTube or something and see how he presents it.
