Yeah, I am one of those guys who always wants to know "how they do it". I would really love to know how David Copperfield pulled off some of those illusions with huge landmarks (like the Great Wall of China). Hopefully, it is not just some TV camera trick. That would be very disappointing...

First chuckle of my day (-:Well...the stupid easy answer would be that there could be just 1 item in common across all 55 cards, with only the position of that object changing from card to card, with 385 other random objects distributed across the cards. That would make for a pretty boring game though, if you figured out that there's an apple on every card, for instance, because then you'd just have to look for the apple.
There's got to be a better answer though, but I may not be smart enough to figure it out

Your solution reminds me of The "Great Bud" card trick:
