Hello again everybody. Today I'm going to show you a really cool mathematical impromptu card trick tutorial. This one was uploaded by Tally Ho Cards 9 called Same Place, Same Time.

This will open a new window or you can click on the link in the description box below and you'll stay here, watch this performance, then come back and I'll show you how the trick is done. Okay, for this trick you need 52 cards. So if you have jokers, remove them from the deck. So you can give the spectators, and you really want two spectators for this card trick, the deck, and you can have spectator number one, spectator number two, shuffle the cards, cut the cards, and hand you the deck when they're ready. They hand you the deck and you say, okay, what I'm going to do is I'm going to deal cards on the table. Spectator number one, whenever you'd like, tell me to stop. And what you're doing is you're secretly counting the cards as you deal them and you're going to force an odd number on them. So you're counting in your mind and if you're talking while you do this, then you're really good. But you're thinking 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Suppose they say stop on 10. You want to force an odd number on them so you say, okay, what I'd like you to do now is look at the next card and memorize it, and it's the 5 of diamonds. So you're actually forcing the 11th card on them and then memorizing it. If you were dealing the cards and you went 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and they said stop, you have an odd number over here on the table, so you turn over the 11th card and it's the 5 of diamonds, and then memorizing the 5 of diamonds. So it's important that it's an odd number. Once they have this card memorized, you set it on top, place the rest of the deck on top, and now you go to spectator number 2. But you have to remember the number which was 11 and take half of that number, which in this case would be 5 1⁄2, and that will be your key number. So whatever odd number they land on, take half of that number and it will be your key number. So half of 11 is 5 1⁄2, which will mean we're going to either use 5 or 6, depending on which pile they land on. I'll get to that in a moment. Okay, so now we go to spectator number 2. Now you don't have to pay attention, because it does not matter where they stop you as long as they don't get past spectator number 1's card. So deal slow if spectator number 1 had you go down a long way, but like I said, it doesn't matter. You can go back a couple of cards. Spectator number 2 says stop right over here, and they're memorizing now the 8 of hearts. Spectator number 1 is the 5 of diamonds. Spectator number 2 is the 8 of hearts. So spectator number 2, turn over the card, and you place the rest of the deck on top. So now, remember, you're remembering 5 1⁄2 as your key numbers. Now you're going to give the cards a false cut or two, and you're going to deal the cards into two piles. So as you're dealing the cards into two piles, you're going to tell spectator number 1, you're going to ask them if they see their card in the first pile. And pile number 1 represents 5. Pile number 2 represents 6. That's how we get 5 1⁄2 as our key. That's the number in between 5 and 6. So we're going to show spectator number 1, pile number 1, and we're going to catch a break underneath the top 5 cards. And if their card is in this pile, we're going to move those 5 cards to the bottom. So we're going to catch a break right under the 5 cards and show the cards to the spectator, and they're going to be looking for the 5 of diamonds. They see the 5 of diamonds in here, they see their card, square up the cards, right above that break, cut the cards to the table, you've now moved those 5 cards that were on top to the bottom. You can also give the cards another false cut if you like, set it down. You don't have to do anything with this pile now. You're ready to go. If spectator number 1's card, the 5 of diamonds, was not in this pile, you would then take 6, which is 5 1⁄2. You would take 6, which is your second number. So between 5 and 6, so you would bury 6 cards from this pile. I'm getting confused. So spectator number 1's card is in this pile, you bury 5, if it's not, you catch a break under 6, you move 6 cards under this pile. So that's, hopefully, you're following along. Then what you say is, okay, spectator number 2, are you bored yet? What I'm going to do now is I'm going to see if I can get your cards to be in the same place at the same time. So tell me what your cards were. They will tell you the 5 of diamonds and the 8 of hearts. You'll turn over the cards and you'll go all the way through and see if you can catch the 5 of diamonds and the 8 of hearts in the same place at the same time. There they are, the 5 of diamonds and the 8 of hearts. So this is a pretty cool mathematical trick. The way it works is, once you have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, let's say they stop you at 7 and they're memorizing the 3 of clubs, you then place the rest of the cards on top. Now spectator number 2, let's say, let's just say 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, let's say it was the 3 of clubs. So 7, you're memorizing 3 and a half, okay? Then spectator number 2 has you stop, let's say, all the way down here. Now their card is the 4 of diamonds. Between the 4 of diamonds and the 3 of clubs are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 cards. So this card will be card number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. So card number 1, card number 8. So that way they will always be in separate piles because this will always be an odd number, this will always be an even number, and if you use the key numbers like I showed you, it will work every time. Hopefully I did a better job of explaining this and this was better than my last video, which really didn't go over too well. Good news! Coming real soon, going live!
