The effect — what they see

After a shuffle, a spectator cuts the deck, secretly counts off a few cards, and transfers them, all while your back is turned. A second spectator later helps choose a card from a casual deal, and that card turns out to name the precise number the first person counted. The two free choices seem completely unrelated, yet they match.
