He’d take out the part with it on his chest. He then places the card in the middle of the deck and waves his hand over it and now her card is on the top. This maneuver is called a pass. He does it very well. He then double lifts two cards. One is hers, one is blank. When he does the move where he shoes the queen of spades on his left chest, one of two techniques, he either palms it in his left hand, which is what I think he does, or he tucks it under the shirt and retrieved it when he makes the second gesture but I’m 99% certain it’s palmed in his left hand. Shall I continue?

Next is color change. You can find tons of YouTube videos on that.

Yeah that was ****ing amazing. Penn summed up my thoughts pretty well. Quick change is essentially solved, but some of the stuff she did, like the Green dress flying off the rack and onto her was incredible. If I'm not mistaken that's the one that really caused Penn's jaw to drop as well.

Dress on the rack, and on her body get sucked into the dressing cage at the same time. I think she activates it with her left hand. You can see the clothes on the rack shake in unison like they are tied together earlier in the performance

Someone behind the curtain helps her with lots of the changes. For the green dress the assistant uses one hand to reel in the green dress on the hanger (it's attached by a cable) and another to switch her pink dress into a green one (standard quick change)

The cards could certainly have been marked so knowing what Teller picked is easy enough. (Looks like it was). So maybe he can then get it to the top. The way he counts off three cards is unusual (and if it really was in the third position he'd give the deck to Penn?) but it looks kosher?? hmm.

First of all, it’s a gimmick deck.

It’s not an unseen trick. It’s called “Any Card at Any Number.” There are just some nuances of his that have people baffled. In other words, other magicians can pull off this same illusion, just not as smoothly as him and with different techniques.

Here’s a similar effect:

You can have the person who selects the card place it back in the deck and shuffle the deck before you even handle it.

If it's gimmicked with magnets so he can make any card he wants to show the two of spades *and* Teller isn't able to spot anything weird when shuffling the cards then wow.

No magnets. Boris Wild has invented several marked decks. After teller puts the card back, he moves the card to the top of the deck where he reads the back. That’s why the “voice” says yes when he asks if he could possibly know anything about the card. Because they both saw the move, they know he knows what the selected card is.
He moved the card to the third position, voila! There’s more, but it’s a bit technical.

Who the f do you think you are? You mad cuz the US beat your country's ass 200 years ago? Watch the video, since you're so smart. After teller returns the card he immediately controls the card to the top, bends it, which is how he finds it so easily after teller shuffles the deck. He uses a pass to move it to the third position. He uses a creative psychological force to get Penn to choose three. I'm sure there are other magicians who can verify these techniques. As for you, I block a-holes. Especially ones from England with bad teeth. You're welcome for us bailing you out in WW2.

Its a little suspicious that at the end that Boris didn't let Penn be the one to peel the deck to uncover the third card. But I didn't see Boris make any obvious moves after Penn's number declaration either. Great trick. Love the ACAAN.

I can't buy that the trick was hinging on doing a psychological force on PENN.

Unless he felt letting Penn deal the three cards would give something away (e.g that he manoeuvred the card to the third place and got very lucky with Penn's choice) then he probably did a move (I can't see it either)

He didn't.
If you know what you’re looking for, it’s there. You know, Mr Wild has a few videos of magic tricks. Several of the things he does, including the pass and how he marks Teller’a card, is in them.
I don’t discount the possibility that he had the card at the third position in preparation to cull it later and got lucky. Though they may have caught that. I still think it was a good force.

British people with bad teeth are just unable to comprehend.
