Lazy Man's Card Trick is a "find a card" routine in which a card is selected by a spectator and then proceeds to cut the deck as many times as they wish. The whole deck is turned upside down and cut again several times. When the deck is turned back to face down position, the magician knows the position of the selected card in the deck.
