Hi ! I just saw trick where magician shuffles deck and let spectator cut deck few times. And then magician dribble cards and spectator say's stop anywhere he likes. Then spectator takes random pile of cards where he stopped. Then spectator shuffles that pile and magician turns back. Then magician one by one name cards at that spectator's pile. So if you guys know name of that trick, it would be nice. Thanks !

Derren Brown used to do this. It was taught in his lecture video, I think. I also think it was taught in either Pure Effect or Absolute Magic but good luck finding those.

I think Derren Brown does this the exact opposite way. He spreads the cards on the table and lets a spectator pick 5 cards, but the spectator is not allowed to see them. After Derren has looked at the cards, the spectator names "randomly" 5 cards, and the cards he named are the cards he had picked...

No, I'm thinking of an older trick of his. It's in his lecture video.

The ending of the trick in the video is he's sitting there, staring off into the distance while the spectator is trying to keep up flipping and showing the cards he's naming. I remember it, because I totally stole his line "I'm not a card magician I just use these as a readily available assortment of 52 symbols" all while doing one-handed cuts and shuffles. It's the reason I learned how to do the one handed shuffle, though I have stopped using the line.

Sorry for that!
I don't know these lecture videos...I was talking about a clip from Derren's "Tricks of the mind" series...
