Penn and Teller on the BBC

OK, I am a rare visitor to this part of the forum what with not knowing nothing about magic but I just saw this and I want to see if my guess of how it's done is right (assuming anyone is allowed to tell me)



A guy picks (and signs) a card as Penn (or Teller) is fripping the deck by saying 'stop' and the card is then supposed to reappear inside one of half a dozen muffins laid out on the table but, although each one has a card, none of them is it. Then Teller (or Penn) regurgitates the signed card. Magic!



So, I'm thinking the little guy has learned how to force a card by pretending to stop at the point when he's told to stop but in fact he can cut the deck at the card he is forcing (how the heck he does that I have no clue) which is returned to the middle of the deck but somehow its place is noted and then while everyone is focused on the muffins he ingests the card.



I think he does need to do the force because the card must not be the same as any of the ones in the muffins (odds about 7/52 that it will be) as that would spoil the trick a bit.



Amirite?



Also, is this considered a good trick by the experts here?
