Impress Them Every Time With This Astounding Card Trick
March 10th, 2010 by Miles Sunkest
This self working card trick has long been a favorite of magicians of all ages. Since it’s self working, you don’t need to learn any special sleight of hand or use any special gimmicks. Another plus is that you can quickly show kids, even young ones, how to do this trick, and it will still work perfectly.
Here’s how the deception appears to your astounded observers. You have all the cards of the same suit taken out of the deck. So you’ve got all the hearts, or clubs, or whatever. Have them prearranged in order, beginning from the ace, and ending with the king. If you are doing this with children, you can even have them set the deck up for them.
After you’ve got it set up, then you go through the deck once, showing them all that they are really in order, beginning from the ace, and ending at the king. If you like you can offer them the short stack and have them check for themselves to make sure there is nothing strange going on.
Then clarify the secret to them. You have the stack face down. If they say “deal,” then you take one card off the top, and place it face down on the board, in a new stack. If they say “double deal” then you take two cards off the top, reverse the order and then place them face down in the same stack. Do this until you’ve gone through all the cards. Tell them that they have to memorize the new order that the cards are in. While they are busily trying to re calculate the order, you pick up the new stack, and begin to turn each card over one by one. They will be stunned to see that the cards are still in the same order, starting from the ace, up to the king.
Most frequently, they will ask you to do it again, and again. And the cool part is, since this is a self working trick, they can do it themselves and it will still work. The reason it works should be understandable once you do this a few times. If you take only one card off the top, and place it in the new stack, (deal), or take two cards, and reverse the order, placing them in the new stack (double deal) they still end up in the same order, no matter if you deal or double deal them. To perceive how this works, do the trick with all the cards facing up, and you’ll see how it works out.
This is fantastic for kids of all ages, and several of them will never deduce how it works even after they do the trick themselves. Of course, you’ll intermittently run into a young logician or natural mathematician who’ll see right through this trick and know how it’s down. Nonetheless, this trick is superb for endless amounts of amusement, even with adults. Have fun with this straightforward trick.
