Come Forth
 You
need a complete
deck of 52 playing cards without the Jokers.
What to do: Ask your friend to shuffle the cards as many times as he/she wishes. Once the shuffling is finished, tell your friend to memorize the bottom card. Example in the video : Five of Spades . Ask your friend to put the deck on the table and turn over the top 3 cards. Tell your friend to deal cards face down below each of these 3 cards. Start with the number on the face-up card (Aces = 1, Jacks = 11, Queens = 12, and Kings = 13), and then keep dealing cards until he/she gets to 15. Example in the video : the first face-up card is a 3, he/she would deal 12 more cards to get to 15. Ask him/her to keep the 3 face-cards on the table, and then put all the face-down cards on the bottom of the deck. Ask your friend to find the sum of the 3 face-up cards. Example in the video : 3 + 7 + 3 = 13. Tell your friend to deal out that many cards, and then put them on the bottom of the deck. Ask him/her to put one card an each of the face-up cards. Ask your friend to tell you the card he/she had memorized at the beginning of the card trick. Turn over the next card. Magic...the card appears! The secret : Each face-up card + counting up to 15 + the value of the card = 16. 16 × 3 face-up cards = 48. Then 48 + 4 = 52 cards in the deck. Go mystify someone! Watch the video. |
