Amaze Them Every Time With This Astounding Card Trick

Here is a simple to learn magic trick that is considered a self working trick. This means that you don’t need to learn any sleight of hand or special gimmicks to get this trick to work. This is a great trick to use with kids, or adults or anyone that likes to see some goofy magic.

Here’s how the hoax looks to your staggered observers. You have all the cards of the same suit taken out of the deck. So you’ve got all the hearts, or clubs, or whatever. Have them prearranged 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.

After you’ve got it set up, then you go through the deck once, showing them all that they are certainly in order, starting from the ace, and ending at the king. If you like you can give them the short stack and have them confirm for themselves to make sure there is nothing funny going on.

Then clarify the trick 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 table, 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 analyze the order, you pick up the new stack, and begin to turn each card over one by one. They will be shocked to see that the cards are still in the same order, beginning from the ace, up to the king.

Most often, 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 observe how this works, do the trick with all the cards facing up, and you’ll see how it works out.

This is unbelievable for kids of all ages, and many of them will never estimate how it works even after they do the trick themselves. Of course, you’ll occasionally run into a young theorist or natural mathematician who’ll see right through this trick and recognize how it’s down. Nevertheless, this trick is magnificent for everlasting amounts of amusement, even with adults. Have fun with this simple trick.
