Hoe did Ricky Jay perform this "Sword of Vengeance" trick?

Now that he's gone, I'm re-watching many of Ricky Jay's videos, and his skills were of course out of this world - What a loss.
You could ask the same question about any of his tricks, but here is a simple one:
it's called Sword of Vengeance: He basically spins a shaggy dog tale of misdirection, and eventually lets his mark pick a random card out of a deck, the same "Two of heart" he had prepared at the beginning of the skit.
So how did he really do it?
Additionally, I cannot easily find "How to" resources for magicians online. Are there any? Asking for a friend.
