3 Times A Charm EASY CARD TRICK & Explanation

Hello again everybody. Today I'm going to show you another card trick. I'm going to announce the winners of the deck giveaway from my last video. Plus there's going to be another deck giveaway. So this trick is actually a pretty easy card trick but I'm going to show you the performance and then I'll show you how it's done. So I'm just making a couple of piles. I'll set there and there. Now there are three random piles. We could just mix the cards up. One, two, and three. Now what I'd like you to do is select a card from each pile. So let's say you select this card, the six of hearts. From this pile let's say you select this card, the eight of hearts. And from this pile let's say you select this card, the four of clubs. So now we have three piles and what we're going to do is we're going to spell each card three times. So six of hearts s-i-x-o-f-h-e-a-r-t-s put the rest of the cards on top. s-i-x-o-f-h-e-a-r-t-s put the rest of the cards on top. And finally s-i-x-o-f-h-e-a-r-t-s put the rest of the cards on top. Now we'll spell the second selection three times. Eight of hearts e-i-g-h-t-o-f-h-e-a-r-t-s put the cards on top. e-i-g-h-t-o-f-h-e-a-r-t-s put the cards on top. And the third time e-i-g-h-t-o-f-h-e-a-r-t-s put the cards on top. And now the third card, the four of clubs f-o-u-r-o-f-c-l-u-b-s that's once. Then we'll spell f-o-u-r-o-f-c-l-u-b-s that's twice. And f-o-u-r-o-f-c-l-u-b-s that's three times. Okay so we divided the cards into three random piles. We mixed the piles. You selected three random cards. We spelled each of the cards three times so everything is completely mixed. Before the trick started I made a prediction and I put it in the card box. And my prediction was the three of clubs. So we did everything three times. Wouldn't it be amazing if we have threes? There's one three. There's two three. There's three threes. So we have all four threes. Now how did you do that? Okay here's the tutorial for this amazing self-working card trick. What you're going to need to do is take out the four threes. One, two, three, four or four of any card that you like. One of the cards is going to go into the card box and that'll be your prediction. The other threes or the other three of a kind are going to go on the bottom of the deck. For the purposes of the tutorial I'm going to keep these cards face up. So you're going to start out by mixing the cards and you're going to keep these three cards on bottom of the deck. So you do a couple of shuffles maintaining your three card stack at the bottom of the deck. Then what you're going to do is you're going to peel off one of the back cards and the top card just like this. And this three obviously will be upside down. And then you're going to count off. You want like 17 cards. There's 52 cards. So you're going to count in your mind 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17. Set it down. Then you're going to peel off the next three with the top card. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17. And then this pile over here it's got a three at the bottom. Now you want 17 cards in each pile because when you spell the cards the maximum like seven of diamonds or eight of diamonds has 15 letters. So you want 17 cards so when you spell the cards you don't run out. So what you could do at this point is you can mix the piles again by leaving your finger on the bottom card and pulling it off and then just peeling cards off the top. So it looks like you're randomly mixing it but you're keeping that three on the bottom. Again you're keeping your finger on the bottom and it looks like you're mixing the piles. So there's one and also this is a good opportunity if you feel like one pile has too many cards you can rearrange the piles so you can have more so that there are equal amounts of cards in each pile. So now we have the three on the bottom of each one of these. Now it looks like everything was mixed. Have a spectator select a card. You do not want them to select the bottom card. So you could say touch one of the top few cards and let's say they select this card. Turn it over so that's the five of diamonds and then they select the card over here the queen of clubs and then they select the card over here the seven of hearts. So now this like I said is self-working as long as you do the same thing three times and you deal more than half the cards. So if there are 17 cards in each pile as long as you deal nine cards put the rest of the cards on top, nine cards put the rest of the cards on top, nine cards put the rest of the cards on top, the card that's on the bottom will go right to the top. So this looks more random because you picked three random cards. So we're going to spell five of diamonds three times f-i-b-e-o-f-e-i-a-m-o-n-d-s put the cards on top. Second time f-i-b-e-o-f-e-i-a-m-o-n-d-s put the cards on top and now the third time f-i-b-e-o-f-e-i-a-m-o-n-d-s put the cards on top and now you've got the first three on top. Again this is going to be flipped the other way I just want you to see that. Now we're going to spell queen of clubs three times q-u-e-e-n-o-f-c-l-u-b-s put the rest of the cards on top q-u-e-e-n-o-f-c-l-u-b-s put the rest of time q-u-e-e-n-o-f-c-l-u-b-s put the rest of the cards on top and now we've got the next three to the top and then seven of hearts we'll spell that three times s-e-v-e-n-o-f-h-e-a-r-t-s put the rest of the cards on top s-e-v-e-n-o-f-h-e-a-r-t-s put the rest of the cards on top and one final time s-e-v-e-n-o-f-h-e-a-r-t-s put the rest of the cards on top now this is the position you're in with these cards face down so you can say we mix the cards I made three random piles you selected any cards you wanted from those three piles we spelled those cards three times now before the trick started now you go to the box or an envelope you can show that you made a prediction and show the prediction is one of the four cards whatever card you choose I chose the threes because we're doing everything three times you show that it's a three and then you reveal that all the cards are the four threes it gets pretty amazing reactions I actually came up with this I didn't want the spectator touching the cards I wanted complete control of the cards so I can spell quickly anytime you hand the cards to a spectator things go wrong so if you have complete control of the cards but people can see what you're doing it looks completely shuffled it looks completely random this will blow people away let me know what you guys think now on to the results and the deck giveaway here are the winners of the bicycle decks for my last giveaway winning a turquoise deck goes Jake Throop winning a green bicycle deck goes to Andrew Garrett winning another turquoise deck goes and winning the final green deck goes to Daniel Blacko okay this time I'm giving away four decks of bicycle playing cards a fuchsia an orange a green and a turquoise all you have to do is leave a comment below like the video and if you're not subscribed to my channel please subscribe and click on the notification bell this way you'll be notified when I upload videos good luck to everybody stay safe be well that's it I'll see you next time
