What is the Sword & Shield Base Card Trick?
When opening Sword & Shield Base packs, you put 4 cards from the back to the front. You hold the cards with the back logo facing you. You peel 4 cards off from the cards closest to you and put them to the back. When you flip the cards over to reveal the front, you should see an energy card if you did this correctly. The rare card should be in the back.
