When they are not watching before the trick set it up like that. Then say "can I show you a trick?" and you will have them in your hand.

How do you get to that position without the spectator noticing?

Unfortunately I have never seen this trick so I have no context. Could you add a write up of the story that you tell or add a video showing the whole trick as a spectator would see it?
