Presentationally, I might go with a personality test failureffect here. As in you let them openly select a card from the deck while it's facing them that they think suits them as a person. And at the end, you say you'll ask them a few questions to see what kind of person they are and therefore what card they would pick. among these are the number and the "up or down" question. And then you say you've got it, their card is... but of course it comes out wrong. Then you say "wait, what was your card actually then?" they tell you and you say "huh, I was on the entirely wrong track...wait..." and then you spread the deck face up and find their card and show them that the card you named was in the position they named relative to their card.
Maybe call it “5 away” or “spacer” maybe. I don’t know, just some ideas that popped up in my head. Love the content, gonna check out the other channel too!👍
Clever setup, the only thing that's kinda suspicious is the very specific change of chosen cards making the spectator suspicious that you knew the rest of the pack but not what they selected. I'm not a fan of tricks where you quite obviously manipulate their choice and dodge knowing their card. Like here you reveal that you don't know their card and want to change their card to something that you set clear limitations to. Which makes the spectator think you just prepped some cards and made them change to a card you wanted if they're at all a suspicious mind. If they could freely choose any new card and you showed some sort of knowledge about their card before they change it, that'd help with the suspicion. Furthermore I'd probably not choose an obvious sequence like multiples of 2 and 3, anyone slightly into math or physics or engineering will be able to tell it right away if you have 5 cards on both sides with very clear pattern. On the other hand you could choose an interesting sequence like Fibonacci. It doesn't look suspicious or obvious to a casual spectator and on the other hand if they recognize it, it looks very special. In fact you could go as far as to conjure Fibonacci sequence going both directions from the chosen card and give them a filler story about math/sciences, ~middle ages, Italian, Greek and other brilliant minds. Or just talk about Leonardo Pisano (Fibonacci) and his greatness, give a false story of him being into dark arts and coming up with this magic trick or something. Then as the prepping is just about done, tell the spectator that Fibonacci helped you to find their card, tell them to look up Fibonacci sequence from the deck and alas! Their chosen card is surrounded by it. Sure, you couldn't name any cards blindly, but you also didn't guide the change. In my mind this would direct their suspicion away from the fact that you have manipulated so many cards around their card by masking it with the oldest way possible: putting it right in front of their eyes and pointing at it. In fact it becomes the exciting part of the trick presentation. And it also doesn't make them feel like you made them change their card and chose it for them, but as if you actually knew their card because you pointed at it with the sequence of cards. Boldly turning the disadvantage to advantage. I feel like the best tricks are the ones that have some sort of story element to them and it also misdirects the thoughts and suspicion away and makes it more magical feeling than just pointing at their card. They also forget to ask questions about the steps on the way if they are following a story.
I like the passion but this is just a more complicated version of the keycard principle. Don’t be discouraged. I have invented things only to find out guys like Sankey, Marlo and Thomas got there before me. In your case I believe it was Hofzinger. Either way keep up the that fantastic creativity

Fantastic trick.😊😊😊😊
Call it Jedi mind trick. This is very strong
What should I call this trick?
Maybe call it “5 away” or “spacer” maybe. I don’t know, just some ideas that popped up in my head. Love the content, gonna check out the other channel too!👍
should call it The choose game
2's above 3's below
Above and Beyond
Stuck in the Middle.
You could call it + or - five
