Simple Card Tricks Revealed - Tutorial

Hello again everybody. Today I'm going to show you a really simple trick and this is how it works. You hand the deck, mix up the cards, and basically you hand the deck over to a friend after you've mixed it up a little bit. And you tell the friend, okay, hold on to the deck. now Start counting out cards, put down some cards. right, You know what, pick cards, as many cards as you want. We're going to use about, I don't know, 15, 20 cards. we'll Just pull any 20 cards you want out from the deck. You don't even have to count, just like that. be right So let's say they took those. They could have chosen any cards they wanted. Now you square up this deck. Tell them to lay them out in four piles. back. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One. Now tell them you could have chosen any cards you wanted. And now they're laid out in four piles. What are the chances that all four cards at the top are the four aces? Well, the chances are pretty good if you know how easy this trick is. I'll tell you how you do it. You start the trick with the four aces at the top of the deck. And, when you hand, you want to do a couple of shuffles, and you don't want to disturb the top four cards, so you can do a shuffle, just any different shuffle that you want, as long as you just leave those four cards, and it gives the appearance that the deck is mixed. You hand the deck to your spectator, and you tell them to start counting out cards. And, after they've counted out four, five, six, seven cards, say, you know what, just don't pull them off like that, pull them anywhere you want. So they pull. cards from the middle of the deck, the bottom of the deck, whatever they choose that's the cards that they're taking. Now square it up. The four aces are on the bottom and you have to make the piles like this. One, two, three, four, back. One, two, three, four. The way this works out is no matter how many cards there are, even if there's not an even number at the end, the four aces will be on the very top. It has a really dramatic effect, and people are pretty puzzled, and it's pretty simple. Thank you very much. See you all next time.
