A trained fly - the "Great Benjamin" - has the uncanny ability to find selected cards!
EFFECT:
A FREELY-SELECTED card is lost in the shuffled pack. Benjamin is released (from a matchbox) and, apparently, hovers over several cards, suggested by the magician, but fails to find the correct one.
In a moment of "forgetfulness", the magician brings down the balance of the pack on top of the insect - and - SMOOSH! - the poor chap is flattened!!
However, all is not lost, for the card is turned over and has changed miraculously to the spectator's card!
"The funniest card trick for years," Robert Swadling.
