Equivocation/Equivoque/Magician's Choice
Wikipedia: Equivocation (magic)
Equivocation (or the magician's choice) is a verbal technique by which a magician gives an audience member an apparently free choice, but frames the next stage of the trick in such a way that each choice has the same end result.[1] For example, the performer may deal two cards to the table and ask a spectator to select one: if the spectator chooses the card on the left, the performer will say something like "you keep this card, I'll take the remaining card". If the spectator chooses the card on the right, the performer will take that card. Thus, the choice of which card to use is really made by the magician.
The effectiveness of the equivocation involves the "information gap" between what the spectator knows and what the spectator thinks they know.
Equivocation tends to lose its effectiveness if repeated in the same context, since the spectator gains more information from one performance to the next, thereby shrinking the information gap. For example, a spectator may wonder why their choice was kept in some cases and discarded in others.
Equivocation is a particular form of alternate ending forces where double entendre wording is used and a different pattern of results to questions can be noticed, but its real strength is best realized when augmented with artful psychological techniques.

Performance example here
Partial Performance example here
1) Starting from the top of the deck spell the value of the first card, then put that packet on the table. 2) Continue going through the deck until you come to the first card which matches the value of the card you originally spelled. Take that packet, including the matching card, and place it on top of the first packet. 3) Continue till you come across the next match, put that packet, excluding the matching card, on top of the packets on the table. Continue till you find the last match, remove it then put the remaining packet on top of the cards on the table.

With the cards face up, start dealing them down one at a time and tell your spectator to say stop at any time (just make sure you get past the two setup cards). They say stop. Turn the two piles over so that the force pile is on your left (the one you were dealing from). Say "point to either pile" and magician's choice the selection (if points to force pile have them look at the top card if the point to the other pile, have them pick it up). Have them spell the forced card. Reveal the match. Then reveal your prediction. Then have them turn over the card from the pile in their hand for the final match.

Circus Card Trick
The Circus Card Trick is a card trick where the performer uses verbal misdirection to prompt the participant into betting that the performer has failed to execute the trick correctly. The performer exploits the ambiguous wording of their patter to win the bet in a manner unexpected by the audience.

Double/Triple Lifts/Turnovers
The double lift/double turnover is a card sleight where the identity of the top card is kept secret by lifting the top two cards as if they were one. Similar techniques may be applied to more than two cards to perform a triple or even quadruple lift.
Technically there is a distinction between the double lift and the double turnover. The double lift is where you pickup the top two cards as if they were one, show it, then place them back down. The key point is that the cards are not turned over. The double turnover, then of course, is when the top two cards are turned over as if they were a single card. Then turned back over. Though this distinction is clear, in actuality many magicians refer to a double turnover as a double lift.
Get Readies
Some double turnovers rely on first getting some sort of break under the top two cards. To acquire this break, some sort of 'get ready' is used.
The Lift Up
-Lifting up two cards from the back of the pack. A version of this from Gary Ouellet requires you to first push on the front of the deck to create a bevel in the back making it easier to acquire the two cards. After acquiring the break, the magician will often act as if they were squaring the pack to provide cover or justification for the move.
Pushover Break
-Left thumb pushes over two cards. Your little finger slightly pushes up to get the break. Square the packed up by pulling the top two cards back with the left them (one hand version) or use your right hand to assist (two hand version).
Pinkie Count
-Using the left pinkie riffle through two cards one at a time to acquire the break.
*Xavior Spade Tutorial
Double Lifts
Book Turnover
-After acquiring the pinkie break, the first and second finger and thumb of the right hand pinch the two cards and turn them over. When turning over you have three options. 1) drop the cards flush with the pack (which means you have to use something like the lift up get ready to acquire another break) 2) drop the cards bellow the pack (down jog), then use the right hand to push the cards up to acquire the new break 3) drop the cards above the pack (up jog), then left first finger pushes down on the pack while squeezing with the other fingers to create a buckle for your little finger to go under. Once little finger is under the two cards allow the left first finger to push the cards down square with the packet.

Script
I'm going to turn the aces over one at a time and then back down again but I'm not going to do it manually the way I just did, instead I'm going to have the aces turn over on their own. But to get the them to turn over I first have to give the packet a little twist like so. This causes the first ace, the ace of diamonds turn over. Another twist and the ace of diamonds turns back and the ace of clubs turns over. Now that's two of the four aces and of course, when I give the packet another twist, the third ace, the ace of hearts turns over. Now you might be thinking that twisting the cards doesn't actually cause them to turn over but it really does. See, if I don't twist the cards first, then nothing happens. But when I give the packet that twist, then the final ace, the ace of spades, turns over.
Script (Daryl)
Now I'm going to tell you ahead of time what I'm going to attempt, breaking all rules of the magi. I'll attempt to twist the aces from a face down position, magically, mysteriously and hopefully entertainingly, into a face up position like this, ok.
Now in order to do this, I have to do a move known as twisting the aces. By giving the small packet of aces a clockwise twist, that causes the first ace to turn from face down to face up, the ace of diamonds...
Script (Todd Landman)
(following a routine to produce the Aces)
Now of these four cards, there's one that has particular properties. It was that first card we withdrew, the ace of spades, I refer to as the elusive ace because it's hard to find. Look as I turn my cards and give them a tap, one of the cards makes itself known to us. If I turn the cards and give them a tap the other card, luck card, makes known to us. But that's only two out of four, we need the next one which is love, but not that elusive ace, the ace of spades, that powerful force in our lives. Let's see if we can't extract it, we turn everyone face up and everyone face down, I turn and I tap but alas the ace is still elusive. But watch (blows and ace appears). This festive season make sure you count your blessings.
Script (Big Blind Media)
Magicians always get asked how they practice their sleight of hand secret movies. A lot of magicians just carry a few cards around so they can practice on the go, while waiting for a bus, plane, or a train or something. So this is something I like to tryout with the aces.
Now we'll save the ace of spades till the end because that's the difficult one, the other aces are easy.
So check this out. All we're going to do is give the packet a little turn and that should cause the first ace to turn face up, just there the ace of clubs.
Watch again. Just a little twist, and that gives us the second ace which is the ace of diamonds.
If you didn't see it that time, you get one more shot. We just give the packet a little turn, and that turns over the ace of hearts right in the center.
So that's the easy ones down, so we just got the tricky one left to go which is the ace of spades. Let's see how we do. Oh I said that's the tricky one but actually I just forgot to give the the packet a twist. And that leaves us with all four aces.
Script (Michael Ammar)
Now magicians are trained to look at things in an in-obvious way. Now for example let's take the four aces here. A lot of people don't realize there's a lot of ways to turn a card over. That's something most people don't think much about, you didn't think much about that did you. So you could turn a card over sideways like a book. Another way to turn a card over is end for end just like this. Only a magician can actually turn a card over inside the spaces between the cards. Now that sounds like an interesting thing to think about doesn't it. Right. It keeps me up at night.

Scenario:
Item A
Item B
Item C
The note says:
"I'm holding the Item A"
"You're holding the Item B"
"The item C is on the table"
"Take two fingers and put them on any two of the objects."
(1) If they put their fingers on items A & C, say "Now pick them up and hand one to me."
If they hand you item A then you read the note out loud. If they hand you item C then you hand them the note and ask them to read it out loud.
(2) If they put their fingers on items A & B, (move item C away but towards you) say "and lift up one hand" if they lift the finger over A, then move the selected B to the side and say "so that will stay on the table. With the two remaining pieces I want you to pick up one and hand me the other." If they hand you item A then you read the note out loud. If they hand you item C then you hand them the note and ask them to read it out loud.
(3) If they put their fingers on items A & B, (move item C away but towards you) say "and lift up one hand" if they lift the finger over B tell them to pick up A as their selection. You pick up C. Now ask them if they want to switch items. Whoever is has item A reads the note.

-Explains that for the first part he has been sending the cards mentally (telepathy) but "you all are a very talented group, so let's try this again and I won't even look at them this time" (clairvoyance).
-Left side piles he allows the audience to examine. Right side, he pulls the aces to the side, collects the entire group of face down cards, squares them, turns them over and slides them down to display they are grouped together by color.
