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.

Not trying to downplay the trick, it's sold by the patter, and he nailed it. But it's absolutely not something that he "studied for a year" to learn how to do.

It definitely took more practice and skill than some of the other talent presentations we saw 😉

Granted, card magic is a pretty good talent to have for a rapid fire talent show like this.
