"Right you are miss." he said agreeing with her first statement. Seemed he was a little quick to judge. Maybe she just had high standards after all? Even her analogy gave of a sense that she was fairly experienced in life if that made sense. Falling petals of a rose? She must be pretty wealthy to be able to enjoy something as that. Most of those high class flowers were expensive as hell to buy and to just go and let it die to see it's beauty seemed more like a rich person thing to do but Isaac kept those thoughts to himself and smirked to himself. "Well then, without further ado let us begin." He said trying to speak a little more proper. The boy's Japanese for the most part was alright. He made a few grammatical errors and at times spoke in a casual tense rather than formal. That was mainly out of habbit but now it seemed like he was ready to start acting a tad bit serious with the woman. He needed to earn that money some way and acting too flirty wasn't going to work.

The woman indeed took the cards to shuffle as he wanted as Isaac situated himself on the other side of the table. Turning to face her, his gaze fell to the cards to see what way she was shuffling the deck. His eyes widened after seeing how she went about it, not out of shock but intrigue. Not many people would bother using their quirk to shuffle the deck even if they had one which allowed them. There was only two possible reasons for her to have done this. One was to mark the cards for herself in some way. Even if the quirk seemed rather bare bones in terms of what it could do from first glance, Isaac figured that she would not be doing it for the second option, which would be to show off. As there was just the two of them there he did not believe that she wanted to impress him, after all she made it clear that she had no interest in the boy to begin with. Still he couldn't rule out the possibility and no matter how unlikely either option was the fact that she used her quirk at all sparked a peculiar interest in the boy. The woman then cut the deck in half and tapped the deck of her choosing. Isaac picked the deck up and rippled thorough the cards a few times as he spoke. "I must say, you have a very beautiful and rather unique looking quirk." beaming at the woman he couldn't tell what kind of quirk it was although if he had to hazard a guess he would say mutation. Although he wouldn't press the matter anymore, if she wanted to talk more on it she could. Once he was finished talking he stopped flicking through the cards and moved the other deck to the side.

Onto the trick! Isaac took the twenty-seven cards and made three equal piles. He placed one pile closest to Kasey and the remaining two either side of them closer to himself. "Now, this is important. I want you to point at the deck that you feel the best connection with out of these three." He said moving his hand over the cards. "Feel free to hover over each deck with your hand, I find it helps." With a wide smile he waited for Kasey to pick one of the piles. Once she did he would pick it up and reveal it to her, while he turned his head to make it obvious that he wasn't trying to look at the cards. "Now from these cards, pick one to be your card and keep it in your mind." There were 9 cards to pick from and once she had decided Isaac would then take up the other two decks and deal them out in the same formation as before. "Now it is time to test your connection to your card. I want you to choose a pile here that you feel your card is in. I'll pick a pile afterwards should you not find it. Are you ready?"

After he had complimented the woman, she replied in a very odd way. To the blue haired boy, it almost seemed like she was trying to indirectly brag. Was she famous? Or perhaps infamous? Isaac couldn't say that he recognized her but then again he rarely kept up to date with the news. She clearly was trying to point something out but Isaac couldn't tell what precisely so he just kept smiling and chuckled softly at her her reply. Deciding it best t just get on with the trick, if Kasey wanted a reply she would not find one coming from the boy as he proceeded on.

What happened next perplexed Isaac again. Where he would usually be the one to close his eyes and look away to show he was being fair with the trick, this time his spectator did it. The tables had surely turned as Isaac pondered on what her quirk was exactly. Was she able to just create bones and organs from her body? Well regardless, she seemed to have a good idea of how Isaac did the trick or a fair idea of how he did it anyway hence her confidence in what she was doing.

But she was wrong.

Where Isaac knew the trick, his spectator did not and could only guess as to how the trick played out. And indeed her guess was a good one but not how this trick was panning out. While to begin with the game simply seemed like luck, well it did and it didn't. This beginning phase was only done to rile the crowd up a bit. If she guessed correctly, great and if he did if she failed then just as good. But should they both fail, well then it did not matter much in the grand scheme of the trick. He already knew how t get her card.

Once she had picked a deck and he had turned away, Isaac waited for her to confirm with herself the card she chose. Calling out that she was ready, Isaac opened his eyes again and faced the girl, moving his hands to make the cards he spread out into a deck once more and placed it down on top of the deck furthest from him and then the last deck that remained. Isaac then placed one card down at a time to make three piles in the same position as he had done previously. Once all 27 cards were placed into 3 equal piles he clapped his hands together. "Now to forge the connection." he said. "I'll be setting out the cards in this manner another two times to make sure we forge a good bond with the card you picked. If all goes to plan I should be able to feel the same connection you have with the card." He said smiling and rubbing his hands together. "Now place your hand over the decks again and try to find your card. If you don't find it I'll try to find it. No pressure if neither of us find it though." He had to make that point clear. Weather Kasey decided to find the card or let Isaac attempt to find it wouldn't be too important, but he was curious to see how she would do things. "Whenever you're ready."

"Alright I'll try and find it. If the card is not in the deck however you have to tell me otherwise the connection we forge will be false." He replied with a smile of his own seeing how she was enjoying the trick. Now this trick in question did rely on weather Kasey told the truth or not. If she lied and told Isaac that her card was in a deck that it was not then the trick would fall apart so honesty was key. Admittedly it may not be the smartest thing to rely on when face to face with a criminal but Isaac didn't know that fact just yet so for now he had the utmost confidence in her.

The first deck Isaac picked was to his left. He revealed the cards to her and asked if her card was present. He would do this action two more times after he laid out the cards one by one into three new piles. Once he was finished, regardless of how many he got right or wrong Isaac would speak with confidence. "Got it."

After the small set up the 27 cards would all be put together again similarly to how he had done so previously. "Now, with our newly found connection to the card and each other I'll pick it out from the deck. As you saw I didn't look at the cards when I asked if your card was in the pile, I didn't mark the card and I never used my quirk once. As he spoke he flipped over the top card of the deck a couple of times until he came to the sixth card when he suddenly stopped. "And this my dear is the power of our connection." Dramatically flipping over the seventh card he waited to see Kasey's reaction. Was she telling the truth or was she lying? The proof would be in the card laid out before them. If it was indeed the card she chose it would be face up leaving her in awe, if not then it would be lost in the deck.
