10 Mar 10 Astound Them Every Time With This Humbling Card Trick

This is a great magic trick that uses a deck of cards, and is always a hit with the kids. Even adults will have no clue how you do this amazing trick. The cool thing is that it requires no sleight of hand or any hidden cards or anything like that. This is a self working trick, meaning that it will always work, every time. And when they figure out how it's done it will be amazing, but only if you show them.

Here's how the ploy looks to your stunned observers. You have all the cards of the equivalent suit taken out of the deck. So you've got all the hearts, or clubs, or whatever. Have them arranged in order, starting from the ace, and ending with the king. If you are doing this with kids, you can even have them set the deck up for them.

As soon as you've got it set up, then you go through the deck once, showing them all that they are really in order, starting from the ace, and ending at the king. If you like you can present them the short stack and have them confirm for themselves to make sure there is nothing odd 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 keep in mind the new order that the cards are in. While they are busily trying to re estimate the order, you pick up the new stack, and begin to turn each card over one by one. They will be bewildered to see that the cards are still in the same order, beginning 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 clear 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 astonishing for kids of all ages, and a lot of of them will never guess how it works even after they do the trick themselves. Of course, you'll occasionally run into a young logician or natural mathematician who'll see right through this trick and understand how it's down. Even so, this trick is brilliant for endless amounts of amusement, even with adults. Have fun with this easy trick.
