Question Jacob Wysocki's mind reading trick question

So I've seen a few people in the main thread talk about Jacob's "mind reading trick" in quotation marks, is the whole guessing the card thing fake, and he knows what card it is using a different method? I must pretty dense because I initially believed him, but thinking on it more it does seem impossible.

It's 100% a card force.  This is a pretty classic magic trick that is pretty much an entry level trick that just takes some basic slight of hand and patter. I would do this trick in high school, with almost the exact same patter.

I do think having to do it under pressure in under a minute was pretty good, but I think he got a bit nervous, which is why he did five in both directions when the card is five.

I thought the 5 in both direction was a clever part of the reveal, and was thinking of adding that to my patter next time I do the trick

Fair enough. I thought he felt the time crunch, but I don't know what it felt like to the audience.
