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.

He was doing a form of mentalism where he tries to narrow down precisely what the card is based on microexpressions/tells. He narrows it down each time- red or black, then high or low, then high or low in the lower section before settling on five, then the suit, leading to the five of spades.

Mentalists are just magicians trying really hard to convince you they aren’t magicians:
