Impossible 1 to 52 - A better method and its free.
Have you seen Impossible 1 to 52 by Eduardo Kozuch? Here's just one of many dealers who are selling it.

Now what you'll get for your $30 is a gaffed deck that has a bunch of shim cards. If you can figure out where to put a small magnet on the card box based on the number the spectator calls out and then tip the cards out carefully so the correct shim cards hold other cards back in the box, could result in the trick working out.
Remembering which side of the box to put the magnet, where to position it and then getting it right is hard enough, then tipping out the cards without it looking iffy is a bigger challenge.
There are many methods for this kind of effect in print, most of them not too hard to do and all of them better than this.
Plus... go read that description, and think 'one way force deck' as you do. There's a free method.
To be fair, what the descriptions don't tell you is the spectator can see all the cards are different, etc. But why not have someone count down keeping them all face down, let them turn over the last one after a bit of build up, and while they do just switch the deck. Sure beats screwing around with magnets and memorizing what goes where.
