It is a pick a card and find it trick. To give too much detail would basically give the routine away. Suffice to say that the name "World's Fastest Card Trick" is a misnomer, the trick because of different happenings takes a couple of minutes to finish.

Is this about the Joe Karson comedy routine or the bit where you make a selection turn face up in the pack an instant after they slide it face down into the pack? There seem to be two items around using that name.

At least two is right. I believe Eugene Burger also has an effect by the same name. I'm not familiar with Joe Carson's effect.
