Armageddon
In Armageddon, a deck of cards that is shuffled by multiple participants and the magician, ends up in the same exact order as a second deck which has been in a sealed envelope from the start of the routine. The cards used are completely regular.
The effect was born out of Simon Aronson's Shuffle-Bored, it was also inspired by Joshua Jay's Trojan Deck, and it borrows a method from John Bannon.
Armageddon will leave your audience completely astonished, and looking for answers, which they will never find.
