Logically speaking... if the card is lost into the deck, and it is shuffled, the chances of the card being on top again WOULD be 1/52. I think some people might consider that luck, rather than magic.
MAGICALLY speaking... if the card is lost into the deck, and is NOT shuffled, the chances of it being on top are 0/52... which is why I believe that makes it all the more magical.

BUT~~~ One problem is that that's a magician's POV. I find it unbelievable that Mark's MTL control is actually possible. On the other hand, a spectator might think of it as camera editing on video or trick cards on live performances. When I don't shuffle cards, like Mark has mentioned, some people beg to differ and literally take the deck from you. One of the reason being, they think you know where the card is (i.e. memorizing the position), so regardless of if your intention was to bring it to the top without shuffling, the spectators still want to see it shuffled so that they can confirm you don't know where the card is. Some think that as more magical
