This Effectively Inspiring Card Trick Will Never Fail To Astonish
Here is a completely hands off mind reading illusion using a deck of cards. It's easy to learn, and fun to do and because there is no sleight of hand required, they will be convinced of your powerful psychic abilities
This is the way you're audience will see it. You tell them to pick any non face card (e.g. ace through ten) and put an equal number of cards on top of it, and then place them back on the deck.
So if they pick a three, then they'd put three cards on top of the three, and then put this new stack of four cards on top of the deck.
After they've chosen their card, and stacked them onto the deck, ask them to spread out ten cards or so, face up, from the top of the deck, on the table in any order they choose.
Most people can't figure this trick out, even though it's pretty simple. They have to be pretty good at reverse engineering to get this without you revealing this to them.
The trick is actually pretty simple. Here's how you do it. When they start laying the cards out, remember the order they put them in. Discount the first card, and then start to mentally count, starting from the second card, with number one. The third card would be two, and so on.
As soon as you get to a card where the card's number is the same as your secret mental count, that's their card. The best way to do this is quickly and silently, while they are laying the cards out. That gives you more time to do your psychic impression.
This trick works well at parties, when you can actually give them the instructions, including laying out the cards when they are finished. That way you can walk into the room, glance briefly at the table where they've laid their cards, and put on your mind reading show.
Be forewarned, as there is about a ten percent chance that two cards will actually match up with your mental count. Don't worry, you can play this off pretty easily. Pick which ever card you like, and then choose it as their card. If you're wrong, they'll question your mental powers, and start giving you a hard time, which is when you say "just kidding," and then pick their real card right away, as if you knew what it was all along.
Have fun with this. This is a great trick to do with kids, as they can learn it quickly and show it to their friends. - 2361
