I saw him there too. Talk about inviting ridicule.
His thing with Eamonn Holmes was quite amusing, but only because it was Eamonn Holmes.

i loved the fact that when in the box over the thames, he got constant abuse. in america they'd be al "whoop whooping" but not on our patch. even paul mccartney turned up pissed to harangue him one night.

That all reassured me, that despite all this countries problems, we can still spot a twat in a box when we see one...

Strangely I made a conscious decision to pick the ace of hearts before he said choose one that you see and at the climax of the trick he was holding the ace of hearts
When I chose a card I saw, no he didn't pick it<br /><br />-- Feb 16th, '12, 15:02 --<br /><br />Ah all the "record for being in a box for so many days and doing nothing" jokes
One that I heard last week was that after Andy Carroll scored for Liverpool, he lifted up his shirt to reveal a message that read "Free the Chilean miners"

He momentarily stalls - just for a fraction of a second - over the card in question.
In a way I prefer this type of 'magic'. There is no mystique to it - you can visibly see the skill and talent before your eyes.

2 step trick.
The first is go through the deck and as Toma says, stop for a little longer on a pre-prepared card. It's usually a face card though it can be done without. The preparation of the card makes this much easier than it looks, and with video editing (which is a constant in David Blaine's programs) and/or camera tricks they can enhance the effect.
The second part of the trick is the "card flick". This is classic misdirection. He flicks the card so that your eyes are busy watching that and with the other hand he flips the two sided card to reveal the same value as the pre-prepared card. It's a very quick flip and takes skill to do it but watch the position of his fingers in the hand that golds the card and you'll see what I mean.
I used to be a bit of a magic geek :)
