CUT! - Self Working Card Tricks Revealed

Hello again everybody. Okay, a lot of people said the last trick was a little too hard. I do hard tricks, I do easy tricks, I do gimmick tricks, and I do math and self-working tricks. This is a pretty easy math self-working trick and it is math. So you have a spectator pick a card, let's say it's the four of clubs, and then what we're going to do is we're going to cut the deck in half and have the spectator put the card on top of one of the two piles. Let's say they put I'm going to put the card on top of that pile. What we'll do is we'll count out four piles. And we'll just continue to stack the cards on top of each one of the four piles. That card was the four of clubs, and you don't know this. They're remembering their card. And then when we're done, we square up the four piles. And we turn them over and ask the spectator one at a time, do you see your card in this pile? They'll say no. Get rid of it. Do you see your card in this pile? There's the four of clubs. They'll say yes. So we'll get rid of the other two piles. Now what we'll do is we'll do it again. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four, one. Okay, well, we got an extra card in this pile. Let's get rid of that. Now we have three piles. Let's get rid of the top and bottom card of this pile, the top and bottom card of this pile, the top and bottom card of this pile, and stack the three cards like this. Let the spectator hold them and tell them to get rid of the top and bottom card, and turn it over, and there is the selected card, the four of clubs. Okay, the way this trick works is all you have to do is be able to cut the cards to the 25th, 26th, 27th, or 28th spot. Now, I just cut the cards. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Okay, 27. Every time you should be able to do that. And. If you do that, it will work. I'll keep the card face up and show you how the trick works. We make four piles, 1, 2, 3, 4, and each one of these piles represents, one pile represents the 25th, one represents the 26th, one the 27th, and one the 28th card. That's why it will work if the deck is cut to one of those spots. So now we know that the selected card is the four of diamonds, it's in that pile. So we do exactly what I did, where you go 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1. Then you say, oops, well, we have an extra card here. Let's get rid of that. And then we tell the spectator, okay, hold the cards. Get rid of the top and bottom card here. Top and bottom card here. Top and bottom card here. Stack the three cards. Let them hold the cards. Say, okay, get rid of the top and bottom card. And then they flip the card over, and it's their selected card, the Four of Diamonds. The trick works every time. You should be able to cut the cards right down the middle. So it's a pretty cool trick, a lot easier than the last one. Thank you. See you all next time.
