thanks yo
It's done with a normal deck of cards, and there are several slight of hand techniques that can be used to do it.

The trick is 2 stage:

Stage #1 is the "control"
Stage #2 is the "flourish production"

The easiest way to control a card that's inserted into the middle is by using a slight called "the pass". The fact that the magician "cut the deck" pretty much confirms to me that's what he's using.

The production of the chosen card is a type of "color change" flourish, and there are literally dozens of different kinds so i'd actually have to see it to tell you which one he used.

Here's a video of an asian boy that thinks he's a white guy that thinks he's a black guy performing "The pass" and a variant of a "Color change" flourish:

Here's an explanation of "the pass"
