A common mistake is at 3:55 Make sure you stack the piles with one hand by putting one on top of the next and then pick them up as you go. So put 1 on top of 3 then take the 1,3 pile and put it on top of 4. Then take the 1,3,4 pile and put it on top of 2, then take the 1,3,4,2 pile and put it on top of 5. If you put pile 1 on top of 2 and then pile 3 on top of 4 you are doing it wrong. Hope this helps.
The working method behind this trick doesn't require that how one picked and stacked the piles, just to ensure that the all cards of a plie have to remain together while picking & stacking them and not to get mixed with other piles.
@@seanchoes Yeah man, turning 18 in a few months and I remember getting home after school as a small lad and watching him just to show tricks to my mom.
@@seanchoes Appreciate it man, good vibes from you and fairly surprised I found anyone in this comment section that was able to relate to me. Much respect🙏🏻🖤
This took me a while to understand so here’s my findings (though this comment is mainly to help me clarify what I’ve found): Each spectator is allocated a specific keycard (2h, 4h etc.) plus their own card in their allocated deck of 5. They shuffle their individual decks, which doesn’t matter. All that matters is that the keycard and the allocated card remain in the same group of 5 when the cards are packed together again into the deck of 25. Next, the first 5 cards (ie, the first group) are put onto the table in five separate piles - each card peeled off the top and going to a different pile than all of the cards in that top pack of 5. The trick here is that the keycard and allocated card travel to different piles and thus end up on the same level: in this case, the bottom. Then, the second group (whichever that happens to be), which contains its own keycard and allocated card, is laid out on the second level, and so on. Thus, the keycard and allocated card will always be on the same level within the final 5 decks of 5. Cutting the deck shouldn’t work because it may cause a keycard and it’s allocated card to be more than 5 cards apart, thus putting them on different levels when the new piles of 5 are made. This is a genius trick. It doesn’t matter where the keycards are in the first five decks (the don’t have to be on the bottom) and it doesn’t matter which card the spectator picks or how it’s shuffled. The information comes from the cross examination when the spectator points to which deck their card is in. You don’t even have to have particular keycards - any cards from the individual’s deck of 5 will do, so long as the group remains particular to that individual, and the keycard and allocated card are kept in the same group
If you're going to do the trick it helps to understand it. Here's a simple analogous example: You ask the person to choose any square from the 5th row on a chess board. You 'shuffle' the board by turning it to the right and ask: "Which row is your square in?". If he says the second then his square is 2nd row 5th column. It's the same with the cards. The first deal of cards is the regular chessboard, the second deal of cards is the turned-right chessboard. The person's giving you both coordinates without even knowing about it!
I'm 2 years late but it does not help to understand this trick if you're going to perform it. In fact, every time I've done this trick before it has wowed people, including myself, but I take credit for it, of course.
Daniel Tíjaro he did at the very end. Since it’s the fourth spectator, your key card is the eight of hearts. At the end of the trick you are looking for the location of the eight of hearts to find their card. If they choose any other pile, their card is in the same location at the eight of hearts in its pile. If they choose the pile the eight of hearts is in, their card is the one in the same location as the eight of hearts in that pile (aka the eight of hearts).
But when you cut the deck multiple times, deal them out in random order (or have the spectator tell you which order), and cut it again multiple times after stacking them in different orders....This trick shouldn't work. And yet it does. Ridiculous.
You MUST get spectators to choose in order (not explained in tutorial) ie. pile 1 needs to correspond with key card 2. Pile 2 needs to correspond with key card 4. Pile 3 needs key card 6 and so on.. this is essential. In other words, you need to direct your spectators to their pile (no problem, doesn't detract from trick), this is because at the end when you're searching for their card in the pile they have chosen, you start with key card 2 for pile 1, then key card 4 for pile 2 etc. It CAN be done with spectators at the start choosing their pile randomly, example: spectator chooses first pile (with key card 6) this becomes pile 1... at the end you need to start your order from key 6 and then pile 2 corresponds to the next random key card pile they chose, and you HAVE to remember that order!! A LOT more difficult!!!! I hope this saves a lot of people getting frustrated if this trick is not working for you
I fumbled with this trick for an hour (not working) until I realized that you MUST give spectator 1 the pile with the 2H, then spectator 2 the pile with the 4H, and so on. So you have to remember which pile contains which key card. If you are only doing it with two people and you allow them to pick which stack they want, you have to watch them pick and if they pick the stack you know contains the 8H, the 8H becomes their key card. This fact is not made clear at all in this tutorial!
Explanation of Self working Maths Card Magic p.s. This is a Clock arithmetic modulus 5 mathematics card trick 1. Distributes 5 cards EACH to 5 small decks, total 25 cards 2. Memories any card from each deck (this is the tag position card) 3. Ask the 5 spectator to choose 1 card from each stack but don't take it out and memories it 4. Ask the 5 spectator to shuffle the deck as much as they like(doesn't matter, we only interested in the 'tagged position card') 5. Ask the spectators which deck they like to pick up, any order as they wish(doesn't matter too, we only interested in the 'tagged position card') 6. Distributes 5 cards each to 5 small decks again(now each card is in their position, X position + tagged card & X position + chosen card) 7. Once again, ask the spectators the order they wish to pick up the deck, DO NOT Shuffle!(doesn't matter, 'tagged position card' is now link to their chosen card) 8. After picked up all decks in 1 pile, ask the soectators to cut the pile of deck(doesn't matter how many times they've cut, BUT ALWAYS put them together before next cut, so the cards interval/position remains 5) 9. The trick is ready to perform, all you have to do now is to distribute every 5 cards into a small deck. After all 5 decks is shown, all the Chosen card's position is linked to the Tagged card because they are on the same layer(row), same interval(5 cards) T - Tagged card (any nos) # - Chosen card (any nos) C - Club H - Heart S - Spade D - Diamond A - Aces Steps 1 & 2 & 3: Illustration of 5 decks of cards here using same suit in each deck: (same deck/column) deck 1 - [T1], C2, C3, [#1], C4 deck 2 - [T2], H2, H3, [#2], H4 deck 3 - [T3], S2, S3, [#3], S4 deck 4 - [T4], D2, D3, [#4], D4 deck 5 - [T5], HA, SA, [#5], DA Steps 4 & 5: Illustration of 5 decks of cards here after shuffled: (cards are still in same deck/column) deck 1 - C4, [T1], C3, [#1], C2 deck 2 - H3, H4, [T2], H2, [#2] deck 3 - [T3], [#3] ,S3, S2, S4 deck 4 - D2, D4, D3, [#4], [T4] deck 5 - [#5], DA, SA, [T5], HA After Step 5: Illustration of 5 decks of cards here after shuffled and picked up in any order into a pile: (example: 2->1->5->4->3, cards are still in same deck/column) |deck 2|> H3,H4,[T2],H2,[#2] >|deck 1|> C4,[T1],C3,[#1],C2 >|deck 5|> [#5],DA,SA,[T5],HA >|deck 4|> D2,D4,D3,[#4],[T4] >|deck 3|> [T3],[#3],S3,S2,S4 Step 6: (notes, here is where the magic begin) Illustration of 5 decks of cards after re-distributed: (cards are now on same row/layer/position but difference in column/deck) deck 1 - H3, C4, [#5], D2, [T3] deck 2 - H4, [T1], DA, D4, [#3] deck 3 - [T2], C3, SA, D3, S3 deck 4 - H2, [#1], [T5], [#4], S2 deck 5 - [#2], C2, HA, [T4], S4 Steps 7: Illustration of 5 decks of cards picked up in any order: (example: 3->1->2->4->5, *Important, DO NOT Shuffle!) |deck 3|> [T2],C3,SA,D3,S3 >|deck 1|> H3,C4,[#5],D2,[T3] >|deck 2|> H4,[T1],DA,D4,[#3] >|deck 4|> H2,[#1],[T5],[#4],S2 >|deck 5|> [#2],C2,HA,[T4],S4 Steps 8: Illustration of cutting the deck of cards in any position and put back into 1 stack: |deck 3|> [T2],C3,SA,D3,S3 >|deck 1|> H3,C4,[#5],D2,[T3] >|deck 2|> H4, [T1],DA,D4,[#3] >|deck 4|> H2,[#1],[T5],[#4],S2 >|deck 5|> [#2],C2,HA,[T4],S4 [T1],DA,D4,[#3] >|deck 4|> H2,[#1],[T5],[#4],S2 >|deck 5|> [#2],C2,HA,[T4],S4 >|deck 3|> [T2],C3,SA,D3,S3 >|deck 1|> H3,C4,[#5],D2,[T3] >|deck 2|> H4, Step 9: Illustration of distribute every 5 cards into a small deck: deck 1 - [T1], DA, D4, [#3], H2, deck 2 - [#1], [T5], [#4], S2, [#2], deck 3 - C2, HA, [T4], S4, [T2], deck 4 - C3, SA, D3, S3, H3, deck 5 - C4, [#5], D2, [T3], H4, *No matter how many times you cut the deck the interval will remain and the Tagged card will reveal the position of the Chosen card. * The Tagged/Key card is also the unique name card for each Spectator if the Chosen card is also the Tagged/Key card because they are binded.

I don't think it was heavily enough stressed that each spectator must take THEIR pile (spec 1 must take the pile with 2h, spec 2 must take the pile with 4h etc) otherwise this trick breaks badly. You CAN allow free choice of piles at the beginning but then you must mentally change the key card order. As they pick the piles I just chant the new order in my head ( i.e 8, 4, 10 , 2, 6... or whatever) Anyway, Im new to card magic so maybe all this was apparent to everyone else and I am just stating the obvious.
It's not too obvious for the magician to simply hand out the packets of 5 cards to consecutive audience members without raising suspicion. After all, they are then mixing the cards, and you're stacking them randomly and then randomly sorting, stacking, and even cutting for good measure. The randomness totally eliminates any suspicion that might arise from handing out the packets in consecutive order.
I ACTUALLY SAT DOWN AND TOOK NOTES , PAUSING THE VIDEO HALF A DOZEN TIMES UNTIL I MEMORIZED EACH STEP.... NOW I NEVER HAVE TO BUY MY OWN DRINK AGAIN! IT BLOWS THE MIND OF EVERY PERSON I MEET. TY 💚 Chance
You don't need card tricks, just be feminine and men will buy you all the drinks you want. You can leave all the card tricks to men, work less and get more.
If you have a reasonable memory you can elevate this already awesome trick into a miracle. Give the deck out to a spectator and let THEM thoroughly shuffle it at the start. Then ask them to deal 5 packs of 5. Nobody is in any doubt now that the cards are totally random. I spread the 5 packs face up and then simple remember 1 card from each pack 'in order'. I tend to choose red cards in ascending sequence (I can still choose which pack to give to spectator 1,2,3,4,5 at this point remember, so I can ensure they get picked form the packs in my required order). It's a breeze and leaves people totally gobsmacked.
***** I just meant that you need to know a card from packet 1, a card from packet 2, a card from packet 3 etc.. 1. Spectator shuffles cards 2. They or you can deal 5 packets of 5 cards face up 3. Patter briefly about how random the packs are and meanwhile mentally pick a card from each packet to remember. You just need one card from each packet and it can be any card. You must remember which card is from which packet, so I just get them into my head in the same sequence as I am going to give the packets out. I will choose the lowest red card I see, then the next lowest that is in a different packet, then the next lowest that is in one of the remaining 3 packets, and so on. Occasionally a packet will have all black cards, but you can always use black instead of red, or just be creative and use your own method. Often there is only one red card of each number, so you don't even need to remember suits. You might just need to remember a sequence of 5 values like 3,7,8,T,Q. If there's a diamond and a heart use the diamond always. It's much easier than it sounds here! 4. In the above example make sure you give spectator 1 the pile with the 3 and ask them to shuffle it, think of one of the cards, and put the packet face down. Give spectator 2 the pile with the 7 etc... 5. Now you know a key card in each of the spectator's piles, just like in the video, only this way they can do the shuffling, completely removing any suspicion of a fixed set of packets. 6. Just carry on as in the video and it all works. At the end look for which position the red 3 occupies in its pile, ask spectator 1 which pile their card is in and it will occupy the same position in that pile as the 3 does in its pile. Spectator 2's card will be in the same position as the 7 is in its pile. If they indicate the same pile as the current key card then obviously their card IS the key card. It's pretty mind blowing.
I prefer your method over his since there is no setup. Another way to do this is to have them shuffle then you take out 25 cards. You can fan them out to show that they are in random order. While you’re fanning them out you can memorize the top 5 cards in order. Then deal the 5 piles.
LOL - I do this exactly as aquapony but instead of ascending cards that are red, I use CHaSeD order and remember 1 card from each 5 pack of cards by value alone. No I only have to focus on the Value, since I know the suits by pattern. Great Minds think like a flock together. - So funny, We all developed a more impossible impromptu way of performing this amazing effect and are methods all vary slightly.
aquapony Couldn’t we also just not have any key cards but just collect the cards (with the shuffling of individual packets of 5) in the order of people around you. Instead of having the cards, person on your left is person 1, then next person is person 2. Etc. You can collect the cards in reverse order. Then when repealing face up, you know without having to find any key cards, the card the spectator selected when they reveal the pile. Person 1 when they point to the 3D pile will have the card in the one spot. Or person 2 in the second spot. This is how I had been doing it for years. It’s more impromptu and in some ways seems fairer but you do need to collect the piles in a certain order. Rather than randomly.
@@d_e_a_n Of course, no "key" cards are required, because they are all "key" cards. This is an old forgotten trick to locate the "criss-cross" card, which we did as young children. It is enough (as you say) that the 1st player from the left gets the 1st package from the left. 2nd player from the left 2nd deck from the left, etc. Once he returns the cards to the table in the same order, only you must collect them. If you collect them from left to right, all fans will always have the last card of the first player. The penultimate card of the second player, etc. If you collect them from right to left, all fans will always have the first card of the first player, the second card of the second player, etc. If this is done with a "key" card, this is exactly the same others, because players are allowed to turn cards in any order, or collect them in any order from the table, which a player can do. It is also possible to perform shuffling to preserve 5th card blocks. As a result, it looks like player number 5 can have his cards in 3rd place in all fans. This is a big disadvantage that even the "key" card method puts the card in the same positions in all 5 fans. Many years ago a magician tried it on me, but he didn't know that I was a magician and that I could remember the 5 cards I had in my hand by a simple key. Even though I was the number 4 player and thanks to the "key" card, all of my 5th cards came second in all fans, I revealed the classic criss-cross trick. I advised him not to put the cards on the table at the last stage, but to put five pieces in their hands so that they were once in the original order and again in the reverse order. When searching for a card it is necessary to count the opposite ones from the other side. A player who knows his five cards will find out that he has two cards in second positions in two fans and three cards in penultimate positions in three fans. That confuses him enough, because this is how we induced him more entropy. I would recommend the same if we do not use "key" cards, but only arrange players. Sorry for google translation.
For those of us that do not Fan well with others, a great alternative is to pick up each pile and deal the 5 cards out with each distinctively on top or below. Fanning was causing my 5 cards to fall into wrong spots thus keying me to the wrong answer I get it correct when I deal instead of fanning.
I honestly don't even know if you're active anymore on RUclips after 6 years, but I have an explanation. At the start of the trick, you had spectator #1 choose a card. Then spectator #2, so on and so forth. You have to reveal the cards in the same order you asked them to memorize them. For example, if you asked John to memorize a card first, you have to reveal John's card at the reveal. If they point to the pile with a key card (2 of hearts), then that's how you know that they chose the 2 of hearts.
It's important to remember that you dont need 1 key card in each 5pack at the end - I thought I got it all wrong cause I often had 2 key cards in the same pack, but It really works if you keep this in mind
This has been the most successful trick I have done so far, especially with shuffling the deck and keeping the cards on top. I think this is probably the most mind blowing trick for beginners. I can't believe how easy it is.
For those who don't understand what to do when the spectator picks the one of the key card, if they do, when they show you that their card is on pile number 2 (to say something), if the key card of that spectator is in the same pile it means that that's the card they picked
Easy to learn i now 4 card tricks now thanks by you next year i will ask for a camera too my birthday and put them on youtube, Keep Up Your Channel. Its the best! Fan number #1
its verry simple :every group of first 5 cards have or (2heart,4heart,6heart,8heart or 10heart) so when you separate that small deck of 5 cards to 5 decks every card from first deck (with 2heart for exemple)will be the first card of all 5 new decks..and so on... :D
cut dont make any difrence in the deck becouse you dont change the order of the cards like if it was ( 2,3,4,5,6,7...10) then you cut (2,3,4,5 to the end it will be the same like (6,7,8,9,10,2,3,4,5) so after 5 still go 6 and so on( sory for bad english)
This is a really good one. For my key cards I use a card from each suit in the chased order. So I use the 2 of clubs, 4 of hearts, 6 of spades, and since you need 5 key cards I use the 8 and 10 of diamonds. When I was practicing this trick and I flipped the cards over and all the hearts kind of stuck out. This way they really look random.
That is a fabulous trick. It has no possible explanation or clue as to how it was done! Truly a baffling enigma that will leave them scratching their heads and mark the magician as a mind reader as well. This is what real mind reading would look like. This is one that I will surely perform a lot.
What do you mean, hard to explain? It is simple. Look, tomorrow I will get back with you on this subject and see if I can clarify the method of the effect so that you can enjoy performing it as I do! I have tested it with great results. trust me. Once you learn it, this may be one of your hall mark effects. I'm on my way out now, so when I get back in the morning I will begin helping you.
The problem is the card they think , they just look at it and memorize them. We didn't know those cards that they have chosen and then when we do this method it's always worked , how is it possible?Please, I need some explanation and tks you Mr.Samuel Hodges.
This is one of those card effects that deal with mathematics. One have to have a high IQ of math to really know how it works exactly. I do some other card effects of the natural. I don't even know how or better yet, why it and others like it works. It's like the 21 card trick. It you haven't seen it, google it. Then just when I thought that the 21 card trick couldn't get any better, Bill Malone does a version better than the original 21 card trick. It is totally baffling. Again mathematics is good to add to tricks because most people doesn't have the skills of math to figure out the method. all I know is that when learning such tricks, just follow the steps directed and all will be fine in the end. Of course presentation and showmanship plays a big part in making the trick spectacular. Even the easy ones. The powerful part about such mind reading tricks is that the chosen card is a mystery, even to the performer up until the dirty work is done! The 21 card trick is what I do first for people and then follow up with "Read Five Minds At Once." I have the key card in "Five Minds...." already set up on top of the deck. But when I begin the 21 card trick, I deal the cards from the deck face up. Or I run through the deck and remove 21 cards without disturbing the set up top face don cards for the 'Read Five Minds..." trick. After the "21 card trick," of reading one person's mind. I say, "Lets take it a step further. I want to try my hand at reading five minds. I'll do exactly same thing, but just a little bit different." Then I go into, "Read Five Minds..." trick as the two effects roll into a routine and makes a great finale! Watch the video(s) again and again until you get a good feel for the ideal of how the effect runs. Don't just learn a trick and do it. Put work into it to make it more than a trick. But something entertaining. How do you do this...? Watch others do the trick and see there showmanship and presentation. How they work the audience and what they say and how they say things. How they jester and so-on. See how natural they look and sound. Pick up on these things and then make them your own by adding yourself into the trick, using your own character or personality when performing! It won't come all at once, so be patient. We will chat more on this subject later. Keep the magic alive!
Check out Matt Parker's mathematic card effects tutorials. One effect that I want you to see is the, "27 card Trick." Because it is one of those mathematic effects where you know why the effect works, unlike the. "21 Card Trick," where you don't know why the effect works but by following the steps in the, "21 Card Trick," the effect pays off in the end. What I want you to do is start training yourself to study how learned master magicians, (if you are not already there yet or have a knowledge and the skills), of how such effects can be pulled off with great impact. Start developing your skills by learning how to deliver your patter, personality, manner, eye contact, relaxing under fire, smoothness... all this falls under your showmanship as a performer. This makes your presentation a performance piece. Not just another trick. But something that people will remember and wonder about. Now, Matt's tutorial is one where you really have to pay attention to and follow to understand why and how the trick works. Mismag822 also gives a tutorial of the, '27 Card Trick," which may help you understand the working of the effect. The internet is full of information about magic. Remember, it's not about giving away the secrets of magic. But sharing the knowledge of magic and passing it on. Don't let the knowledge die with you. Don't worry about reveals. If someone really wants to know secrets of magic they have to make an effort to get it. So, my friend. Make an effort and become the best magician that you can be. That is your driving effort!
It is useful to know the trick can be done with less people/piles, as long as the number-of-piles/number-of-cards-in-pile matches (eg 3 cards/3 piles). Learning tip: once the piles have been sorted at 4:21, you are ready to simply turn them over. The extra maneuvers are window-dressing and can be confusing to remember and can wreck the trick if messed - you end up with 5 unhappy people!!! Some audiences are sharp and will notice these maneuvers don't add anything except more time, or that the cards are being dealt differently than before. Letting them deal the cards 'free will' is a nice move to finish on. I've found I prefer to pad the trick out with mind-reading patter than to add unnecessary moves. Thanks Mismag822, and all the best for 2017!!!
I kept doing the ending wrong. I was flipping them off one at a time, instead of taking off the top 5 and putting them down. I was having the same issue for ever
@@dafanabawi8078 Randomly. It works as long as you place 1 card per pile, until you've put down a full set of 5. But you can place the cards in any pile. Just complete a set before double stacking
It doesn;t work once we shuffle all cards ARE MISPLACED when i tried the last step two key cards had came on the same pile and on there was no and three in the same pile.
I discovered a shorter version of this that I didn't think would work but time and time again it amazed me by working. The idea of having to write the 5 numbers down was turning me off. I tried it with 3 key cards plus 6 cards for 3 piles of 3 and it works similar to here where you used 5 key cards plus 20 for 5 piles of 5. I think the 3 piles of 3 some will find better because 1) a spectator (or magician practicing) can easily remember 3 selected cards whereas memorizing 5 cards, not so much. 2) 25 cards was getting messy. 9 cards is a more compact trick. 3) The 3x3 method allows them to deal down face up immediately after chosen their card and no matter where they put cards, so long as they take turns putting a card on each pile before adding to the next, it will always key the Magician to the correct 3 cards.
Tell them it's a "trick." You are not magic. Tell them you must prepare yourself and set it up. It's an amazing trick. One person wanted me to give her the cards to shuffle. Why do people want to ruin the trick for you? I reminded her it was a trick, and she was no longer interested. Wasn't amazed as the others were. Some people are astounded, as they should be. This is a great card trick. Thanks for posting Card Teacher.
I love this trick. The trick wasn’t working at first but then I read the comments and realized why. When the spectator picks the cards from decks, the trick will only work if they start from the deck of cards with the 2 of hearts. Then move on to the next deck with 4 of heartd
I just tried this and it totally worked... But I am SO confused!!! You need a mathematical brain for this... and I don't. But I am going to try this on someone tonight...
qwertydorknut5 Actually I forgot that when I did it without the set cards :p I suppose it won't work in that case because it does change the card order
Zane Pena based on which spectarot he was u can understand which card he chose.If he was the first it was the 2 of hearts if it was the second it was the 4 of hearts and thats how it goes on
i told u before!Lets say the 2 of hearts and the 4 of hearts are in the same pile and the 6 of hearts and the second spectator tells u that his card is in this pile u look where th 4 of hearts is since this was his card if u say the 4 of hearts is in the second pile then thats his card no matter what other key cards are there
+xaris diamantis no but hes saying what if the same pile with both 2 and 4 of hearts PLUS the 6 of hearts because now u cant tell because the 8 of hearts and 10 of hearts are also together in second pile which was 3rd spectator pile?
It's more easy..let's say if spectator choose the key card 2H..then the spectators said this pile have his/her (in that pile have 2H)..so you already know the spectators card
The trick works great but one thing I would say is make sure you don't flip the cards a different way when you reveal them. What do I mean? Well, when you turn over the cards in their respective 5 card piles you must make sure that they are always in the same order. For me as the dealer that's relative to me which means the cards run left to right like a set of stairs where the leftmost card is at the bottom and the rightmost card is at the top. You can see this in the video at around the 5:00 mark onwards. If he had laid out some cards the opposite way then the trick does not work as I have found this from experience and when teaching it to others. I helped them out and turned some cards over for them relative to my POV and it screwed with the card predictions.
I've done this trick to kids, adults, co-workers, family members...and they are all shocked when I tell that what card they picked. Some people get really annoyed because they cant figure out how it's done. It's my favorite self-working trick I've ever done.
It DOES work. I followed the directions with different cards and it worked, for those that said that it didn't work I can bet it is because they did not pay attention to the angles or positions. that's what you need to be careful at everything else is just selfworking as he said. Remeber that when you see the video you need to understand where you're going to place the cards and also how to spread them. That's the key
+2562casey watch closely on 4:40 how he spreads the cards. the card that is on the top of the deck needs to be the 1. card that will touch the table(the last card)
This also works with three piles of three, four piles of four, six of six, and seven of seven. Really odd too, how you can do it, pick up the stacks in a different order and cut the deck even and re-deal the five face-up groups. And it still works, even though all positions change.
I tried it on some friends and they were amazed by it because they thought I wouldn't be able to find their card. This trick is amazing, I love it and your the greatest
Its an amazing card trick best card trick ever tried but my brain is freakn off to know how this works every time i preforme it really fantastic magic trick. Best channel ever
Ok, I finally figured it out, it used to not work for me, but here is how you do it. You do what he said in the video. The thing is though, he didn’t tell us that you have to keep track of your key cards, mine are 1-5 of spades, so what I do is I know which card is in which pile at the begging and then I give spectator 1 the ace of spades, 2 the 2 of spades pile, and so on. That’s how you get it to work
The way i think this trick works is when dealing the cards in 5 piles after the spectators have picked their cards, you make sure that all the cards from the 1st pile are in the bottom layer, and all the cards from the 2nd pile are in the 2nd layer etc. It doesnt matter how much the spectators mix their pile, because their cards are ending up in the same layer anyway, and there can only be 1 card per new pile. So when they point to their pile, you just look for which layer the key card is in. But won't the cut you make at 4:35 risk separating a key card form its respective spectator card? Example. I cut the deck between cards #13 and 14, which are 2 of hearts and the 1st spectators card. The key card ends up in the bottom of the deck, and the spectator card ends up in the top, so they are in different layers at the end. That would mean a 1/5 chance to get one persons card wrong. Still pretty accurate though.
No the cut won't change anything. Explanation: Actually, the part from 4:00 to 4:30 is only there to rearrange the cards in this way. from this:1-1-1-1-1-2-2-2-2-2-3-3-3-3-3-4-4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5-5 to this:1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5 Now if you cut it will have no observable impact on the execution of the trick. Example: 1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5-1-2----------------3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5 (cutting between 2 and 3) 3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5-1-2 (rearranging) The important thing is to have a sequence that repeats itself 5 times(1-2-3-4-5 or 3-4-5-1-2 or whatever), so that when we separate the stack in 5 piles, the key card (and all other card the spectator initial pile) is the same position as the chosen card. And then knowing in which pile the chosen card is (the spectator tells you) and in which position it is (the key card tells you), it is easy to find the chosen card Note: there are probably other "shuffling" methods beside cutting that guarantee that you have the sequence that repeats itself 5 times 2nd Note: Also important is to remember which spectator has which key card
Dan Rowbotham At the end..1st spectator says hes card is in 'that' pile..but u see which position the 2 of hearts is in...then the spectators card is in the same position in 'that' pile.
every group of five cards is dealt in the same position. for example the 5 cards in the frist pile will be in the end the five cards on third (or frist, or second, ecc...)position in each group
isaac lee I got it to work. Watch exactly how he deals the first 5 Hearts. The order of them decides positions of player 1-5 is. 2h is player 1. 4 h is player 2 etc. Lastly the spread of the 5 cards at end can be messed up. Make sure you spread them in proper direction. If not careful you will spread wrong way.
wait... you said at the end if the spectator chooses the pile as one of your key cards, then that key card is their card... but what if there are 2 key cards in the same pile? for example 2(hearts) and 8(hearts) were in the same pile in this video... what if they chose that pile?
Brandon Coats It will be the one what is coming, always the lower, you are going in an order. when you need 2 as a keycard then thats will be their card. If he 8 is your next keycard thats their card.
really good trick and brilliant. Question...can you do it with lets say, less card predictions or key cards? Like for example 2 key cards so 2 predictions. Can it happen this way?
I get WHY it works, I'll try to break it down but it won't be easy... well we have 5 deck of cards with one selected card and a key card in each of them. now the idea is that all 5 cards in each deck are not completely separated. what I mean: when you stack all the decks, the order of the cards is like this: 1st 5-card deck (shuffled) 2nd 5-card deck (shuffled) and so on. so when you distribute the cards into the new 5 piles, the FIRST card of each pile belonged to (let's say) the first initial deck. try to understand that first, it is crucial. so after we've made the 5 new piles, we have that the bottom cards of each pile are the cards of one of the initial decks, the same for the second cards of each pile and so on. when we stack these too together, the order is like: 1st deck card- 2nd deck card- 3rd deck card- 4th deck card- 5th deck card- 1st deck card... This thing 5 times. so if you spread the top five cards, the order of them will be the one above, AND THE SAME ORDER will exist in each of the five face-up piles that you make in the end. you get it? so now you have that every bottom card belonged to a specific initial deck, the same for the second from the bottom and so on... the rest of it is simple, when the spectator tells you in which pile the first chosen card is (it's important that the spectator tell you about the card chosen from the first deck, the one with the 2 of hearts, and then the second, the third...) all you have to do is locate WHICH POSITION (bottom card, top card ecc) OF THE SELECTED PILE COMES FROM THE FIRST INITIAL DECK and you do that by watching where the first key card is. if it is on the top, that means that all the top cards in each pile are the cards from the first initial deck. I really hope you get it, it's such a brilliant trick. (I didn't mention the cut, but that's because a cut doesn't actually change the order of the cards, only it "rotates" their position. you can figure it out on your own by experimenting with a deck of cards)
So. I do have a question. How does this actually work? How is it that the 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 of Hearts Cards end up in the same spot as each spectators card? Is there some sort of formula? Or is it really magic...? I love your channel so much. I've impressed so many ppl with your tricks! Keep up the AMAZING work!!!
Hi MISMAG822. I love your tricks . . . but as Abhinay Kumar asked, what if the spectator's card (say 8S) is in the same pile as one of the Heart cards, say 4H which is in the 3rd position. It can never be in the third position? How would you recognize the 8S?). Am I missing something?
The earliest version I know of this is called the Miracle Princess, by Mr Fingers (Irv Weiner). There are a lot of versions of this out there now. Definitely a classic.
I have a question. When performing this trick, I ran into a situation where I’d like some advice. I had a key card that turned out to be in the position of another key card. I ended up guessing wrong. What should I do in that scenario?
This is a really great trick. Works like a charm. Can someone explain to me how cutting the deck doesn't mess up the sequence? I've tried it myself and it works every time. I would think cutting the deck anywhere would mess things up.
The cut is, like i said, important, because it shifts positions. Let's assume a cut of 11 cards. The cards of pile 1 are on position 1,6,11,16 and 21 before the cut. Now add 11 to that position. Remember the sequence is 25 cards long, so if you get over 25 you start at 1. So the new positions for pile 1 are 12,17,22,2 and 7. If you split the deck into 5 piles (no dealing) all cards of pile 1 are now on the 2nd position in each of the split piles.
A common mistake is at 3:55 Make sure you stack the piles with one hand by putting one on top of the next and then pick them up as you go.
So put 1 on top of 3 then take the 1,3 pile and put it on top of 4. Then take the 1,3,4 pile and put it on top of 2, then take the 1,3,4,2 pile and put it on top of 5.
If you put pile 1 on top of 2 and then pile 3 on top of 4 you are doing it wrong.
Hope this helps.
The working method behind this trick doesn't require that how one picked and stacked the piles, just to ensure that the all cards of a plie have to remain together while picking & stacking them and not to get mixed with other piles.
Did You mean You Can stack piles free… whitout mix Them together ?

Nice!!
This took me a while to understand so here’s my findings (though this comment is mainly to help me clarify what I’ve found):
Each spectator is allocated a specific keycard (2h, 4h etc.) plus their own card in their allocated deck of 5. They shuffle their individual decks, which doesn’t matter. All that matters is that the keycard and the allocated card remain in the same group of 5 when the cards are packed together again into the deck of 25. Next, the first 5 cards (ie, the first group) are put onto the table in five separate piles - each card peeled off the top and going to a different pile than all of the cards in that top pack of 5. The trick here is that the keycard and allocated card travel to different piles and thus end up on the same level: in this case, the bottom. Then, the second group (whichever that happens to be), which contains its own keycard and allocated card, is laid out on the second level, and so on. Thus, the keycard and allocated card will always be on the same level within the final 5 decks of 5.
Cutting the deck shouldn’t work because it may cause a keycard and it’s allocated card to be more than 5 cards apart, thus putting them on different levels when the new piles of 5 are made.
This is a genius trick. It doesn’t matter where the keycards are in the first five decks (the don’t have to be on the bottom) and it doesn’t matter which card the spectator picks or how it’s shuffled. The information comes from the cross examination when the spectator points to which deck their card is in. You don’t even have to have particular keycards - any cards from the individual’s deck of 5 will do, so long as the group remains particular to that individual, and the keycard and allocated card are kept in the same group
If you're going to do the trick it helps to understand it. Here's a simple analogous example: You ask the person to choose any square from the 5th row on a chess board. You 'shuffle' the board by turning it to the right and ask: "Which row is your square in?". If he says the second then his square is 2nd row 5th column. It's the same with the cards. The first deal of cards is the regular chessboard, the second deal of cards is the turned-right chessboard. The person's giving you both coordinates without even knowing about it!
I'm 2 years late but it does not help to understand this trick if you're going to perform it. In fact, every time I've done this trick before it has wowed people, including myself, but I take credit for it, of course.
scarletovergods what if my key cards are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 of hearts and one spectator chooses the 8 of hearts? He didn't mention it
Daniel Tíjaro he did at the very end. Since it’s the fourth spectator, your key card is the eight of hearts. At the end of the trick you are looking for the location of the eight of hearts to find their card. If they choose any other pile, their card is in the same location at the eight of hearts in its pile. If they choose the pile the eight of hearts is in, their card is the one in the same location as the eight of hearts in that pile (aka the eight of hearts).
But when you cut the deck multiple times, deal them out in random order (or have the spectator tell you which order), and cut it again multiple times after stacking them in different orders....This trick shouldn't work. And yet it does. Ridiculous.
scarletovergods a
You MUST get spectators to choose in order (not explained in tutorial) ie. pile 1 needs to correspond with key card 2. Pile 2 needs to correspond with key card 4. Pile 3 needs key card 6 and so on.. this is essential. In other words, you need to direct your spectators to their pile (no problem, doesn't detract from trick), this is because at the end when you're searching for their card in the pile they have chosen, you start with key card 2 for pile 1, then key card 4 for pile 2 etc. It CAN be done with spectators at the start choosing their pile randomly, example: spectator chooses first pile (with key card 6) this becomes pile 1... at the end you need to start your order from key 6 and then pile 2 corresponds to the next random key card pile they chose, and you HAVE to remember that order!! A LOT more difficult!!!! I hope this saves a lot of people getting frustrated if this trick is not working for you
Even though I can perform this I still can't figure out how does this even work
Exactly.....a trick I can pull and still equally amazed that it somehow works.
What ig spectators choose our heart card. 2 4 6 8 10. Will it give problem
@@hansen704 no you just see that the heart card is in the pile
so is it randomly stacked after the audience picking his card? Or it needs to be in the right order?
I fumbled with this trick for an hour (not working) until I realized that you MUST give spectator 1 the pile with the 2H, then spectator 2 the pile with the 4H, and so on. So you have to remember which pile contains which key card. If you are only doing it with two people and you allow them to pick which stack they want, you have to watch them pick and if they pick the stack you know contains the 8H, the 8H becomes their key card. This fact is not made clear at all in this tutorial!

Explanation of Self working Maths Card Magic
p.s. This is a Clock arithmetic modulus 5 mathematics card trick
1. Distributes 5 cards EACH to 5 small decks, total 25 cards
2. Memories any card from each deck (this is the tag position card)
3. Ask the 5 spectator to choose 1 card from each stack but don't take it out and memories it
4. Ask the 5 spectator to shuffle the deck as much as they like(doesn't matter, we only interested in the 'tagged position card')
5. Ask the spectators which deck they like to pick up, any order as they wish(doesn't matter too, we only interested in the 'tagged position card')
6. Distributes 5 cards each to 5 small decks again(now each card is in their position, X position + tagged card & X position + chosen card)
7. Once again, ask the spectators the order they wish to pick up the deck, DO NOT Shuffle!(doesn't matter, 'tagged position card' is now link to their chosen card)
8. After picked up all decks in 1 pile, ask the soectators to cut the pile of deck(doesn't matter how many times they've cut, BUT ALWAYS put them together before next cut, so the cards interval/position remains 5)
9. The trick is ready to perform, all you have to do now is to distribute every 5 cards into a small deck. After all 5 decks is shown, all the Chosen card's position is linked to the Tagged card because they are on the same layer(row), same interval(5 cards)
T - Tagged card (any nos)
# - Chosen card (any nos)
C - Club
H - Heart
S - Spade
D - Diamond
A - Aces
Steps 1 & 2 & 3:
Illustration of 5 decks of cards here using same suit in each deck: (same deck/column)
deck 1 - [T1], C2, C3, [#1], C4
deck 2 - [T2], H2, H3, [#2], H4
deck 3 - [T3], S2, S3, [#3], S4
deck 4 - [T4], D2, D3, [#4], D4
deck 5 - [T5], HA, SA, [#5], DA
Steps 4 & 5:
Illustration of 5 decks of cards here after shuffled: (cards are still in same deck/column)

deck 3 - [T3], [#3] ,S3, S2, S4
deck 4 - D2, D4, D3, [#4], [T4]
deck 5 - [#5], DA, SA, [T5], HA
After Step 5:

|deck 3|> [T2],C3,SA,D3,S3 >|deck 1|> H3,C4,[#5],D2,[T3] >|deck 2|> H4,
[T1],DA,D4,[#3] >|deck 4|> H2,[#1],[T5],[#4],S2 >|deck 5|> [#2],C2,HA,[T4],S4
[T1],DA,D4,[#3] >|deck 4|> H2,[#1],[T5],[#4],S2 >|deck 5|> [#2],C2,HA,[T4],S4 >|deck 3|> [T2],C3,SA,D3,S3 >|deck 1|> H3,C4,[#5],D2,[T3] >|deck 2|> H4,
Step 9:
Illustration of distribute every 5 cards into a small deck:
deck 1 - [T1], DA, D4, [#3], H2,
deck 2 - [#1], [T5], [#4], S2, [#2],
deck 3 - C2, HA, [T4], S4, [T2],
deck 4 - C3, SA, D3, S3, H3,
deck 5 - C4, [#5], D2, [T3], H4,
*No matter how many times you cut the deck the interval will remain and the Tagged card will reveal the position of the Chosen card.
* The Tagged/Key card is also the unique name card for each Spectator if the Chosen card is also the Tagged/Key card because they are binded.
Example:
If Spectator 1 chosen the Tagged/Key card [T1], he will point to deck 1
If Spectator 2 chosen the Tagged/Key card [T2], he will point to deck 3
If Spectator 3 chosen the Tagged/Key card [T3], he will point to deck 5
If Spectator 4 chosen the Tagged/Key card [T4], he will point to deck 3
If Spectator 5 chosen the Tagged/Key card [T5], he will point to deck 2
NICE JOB
I don't think it was heavily enough stressed that each spectator must take THEIR pile (spec 1 must take the pile with 2h, spec 2 must take the pile with 4h etc) otherwise this trick breaks badly. You CAN allow free choice of piles at the beginning but then you must mentally change the key card order. As they pick the piles I just chant the new order in my head ( i.e 8, 4, 10 , 2, 6... or whatever) Anyway, Im new to card magic so maybe all this was apparent to everyone else and I am just stating the obvious.
Good observation.
It's not too obvious for the magician to simply hand out the packets of 5 cards to consecutive audience members without raising suspicion. After all, they are then mixing the cards, and you're stacking them randomly and then randomly sorting, stacking, and even cutting for good measure. The randomness totally eliminates any suspicion that might arise from handing out the packets in consecutive order.
That was very helpful to me. Thanks!

Best card trick out of every single one
If you have a reasonable memory you can elevate this already awesome trick into a miracle. Give the deck out to a spectator and let THEM thoroughly shuffle it at the start. Then ask them to deal 5 packs of 5. Nobody is in any doubt now that the cards are totally random. I spread the 5 packs face up and then simple remember 1 card from each pack 'in order'. I tend to choose red cards in ascending sequence (I can still choose which pack to give to spectator 1,2,3,4,5 at this point remember, so I can ensure they get picked form the packs in my required order). It's a breeze and leaves people totally gobsmacked.
***** I just meant that you need to know a card from packet 1, a card from packet 2, a card from packet 3 etc..
1. Spectator shuffles cards
2. They or you can deal 5 packets of 5 cards face up
3. Patter briefly about how random the packs are and meanwhile mentally pick a card from each packet to remember. You just need one card from each packet and it can be any card. You must remember which card is from which packet, so I just get them into my head in the same sequence as I am going to give the packets out. I will choose the lowest red card I see, then the next lowest that is in a different packet, then the next lowest that is in one of the remaining 3 packets, and so on. Occasionally a packet will have all black cards, but you can always use black instead of red, or just be creative and use your own method. Often there is only one red card of each number, so you don't even need to remember suits. You might just need to remember a sequence of 5 values like 3,7,8,T,Q. If there's a diamond and a heart use the diamond always. It's much easier than it sounds here!
4. In the above example make sure you give spectator 1 the pile with the 3 and ask them to shuffle it, think of one of the cards, and put the packet face down. Give spectator 2 the pile with the 7 etc...
5. Now you know a key card in each of the spectator's piles, just like in the video, only this way they can do the shuffling, completely removing any suspicion of a fixed set of packets.
6. Just carry on as in the video and it all works. At the end look for which position the red 3 occupies in its pile, ask spectator 1 which pile their card is in and it will occupy the same position in that pile as the 3 does in its pile. Spectator 2's card will be in the same position as the 7 is in its pile. If they indicate the same pile as the current key card then obviously their card IS the key card.
It's pretty mind blowing.
I prefer your method over his since there is no setup. Another way to do this is to have them shuffle then you take out 25 cards. You can fan them out to show that they are in random order. While you’re fanning them out you can memorize the top 5 cards in order. Then deal the 5 piles.
LOL - I do this exactly as aquapony but instead of ascending cards that are red, I use CHaSeD order and remember 1 card from each 5 pack of cards by value alone. No I only have to focus on the Value, since I know the suits by pattern.
Great Minds think like a flock together. - So funny, We all developed a more impossible impromptu way of performing this amazing effect and are methods all vary slightly.
aquapony
Couldn’t we also just not have any key cards but just collect the cards (with the shuffling of individual packets of 5) in the order of people around you. Instead of having the cards, person on your left is person 1, then next person is person 2. Etc. You can collect the cards in reverse order.
Then when repealing face up, you know without having to find any key cards, the card the spectator selected when they reveal the pile. Person 1 when they point to the 3D pile will have the card in the one spot. Or person 2 in the second spot.
This is how I had been doing it for years. It’s more impromptu and in some ways seems fairer but you do need to collect the piles in a certain order. Rather than randomly.
@@d_e_a_n Of course, no "key" cards are required, because they are all "key" cards. This is an old forgotten trick to locate the "criss-cross" card, which we did as young children. It is enough (as you say) that the 1st player from the left gets the 1st package from the left. 2nd player from the left 2nd deck from the left, etc. Once he returns the cards to the table in the same order, only you must collect them. If you collect them from left to right, all fans will always have the last card of the first player. The penultimate card of the second player, etc. If you collect them from right to left, all fans will always have the first card of the first player, the second card of the second player, etc. If this is done with a "key" card, this is exactly the same others, because players are allowed to turn cards in any order, or collect them in any order from the table, which a player can do. It is also possible to perform shuffling to preserve 5th card blocks. As a result, it looks like player number 5 can have his cards in 3rd place in all fans. This is a big disadvantage that even the "key" card method puts the card in the same positions in all 5 fans. Many years ago a magician tried it on me, but he didn't know that I was a magician and that I could remember the 5 cards I had in my hand by a simple key. Even though I was the number 4 player and thanks to the "key" card, all of my 5th cards came second in all fans, I revealed the classic criss-cross trick. I advised him not to put the cards on the table at the last stage, but to put five pieces in their hands so that they were once in the original order and again in the reverse order. When searching for a card it is necessary to count the opposite ones from the other side. A player who knows his five cards will find out that he has two cards in second positions in two fans and three cards in penultimate positions in three fans. That confuses him enough, because this is how we induced him more entropy. I would recommend the same if we do not use "key" cards, but only arrange players. Sorry for google translation.
For those of us that do not Fan well with others, a great alternative is to pick up each pile and deal the 5 cards out with each distinctively on top or below. Fanning was causing my 5 cards to fall into wrong spots thus keying me to the wrong answer I get it correct when I deal instead of fanning.
I want to see someone who knows the math behind this trick! This is awesome!
if a spectator choose 2 of hearts .. ..
it is in the same pile with 8 of hearts
so how we would get to know about the card that the spectator choose

At the start of the trick, you had spectator #1 choose a card. Then spectator #2, so on and so forth. You have to reveal the cards in the same order you asked them to memorize them. For example, if you asked John to memorize a card first, you have to reveal John's card at the reveal. If they point to the pile with a key card (2 of hearts), then that's how you know that they chose the 2 of hearts.
@@aldoearredondo3943 so is it randomly stacked after the audience picking his card? Or it needs to be in the right order?
@@dafanabawi8078 If you follow the instructions carefully, it should be self working
@@aldoearredondo3943 aight thanks
It's important to remember that you dont need 1 key card in each 5pack at the end - I thought I got it all wrong cause I often had 2 key cards in the same pack, but It really works if you keep this in mind
This has been the most successful trick I have done so far, especially with shuffling the deck and keeping the cards on top.
I think this is probably the most mind blowing trick for beginners. I can't believe how easy it is.
For those who don't understand what to do when the spectator picks the one of the key card, if they do, when they show you that their card is on pile number 2 (to say something), if the key card of that spectator is in the same pile it means that that's the card they picked
it works! just follow exactly what he says and make sure you flip cards and spread instead of reversing the order
Im still having trouble doing this trick and it keeps on swiching out to a other card like when i did the 4H it pointer to 3C and it was the 10S
Remember to flip cards in same ordrer
Easy to learn i now 4 card tricks now thanks by you next year i will ask for a camera too my birthday and put them on youtube, Keep Up Your Channel. Its the best! Fan number #1
how does this even work
its verry simple :every group of first 5 cards have or (2heart,4heart,6heart,8heart or 10heart) so when you separate that small deck of 5 cards to 5 decks every card from first deck (with 2heart for exemple)will be the first card of all 5 new decks..and so on... :D
I get that, but how do you know that will still work when you let them cut the deck at the end
+Na'il Christian that's exactly what I am wondering about, that cut might mess it all up, won't it?
cut dont make any difrence in the deck becouse you dont change the order of the cards like if it was ( 2,3,4,5,6,7...10)
then you cut (2,3,4,5 to the end it will be the same like (6,7,8,9,10,2,3,4,5) so after 5 still go 6 and so on( sory for bad english)
Idk how it worked but it works for me
This is a really good one. For my key cards I use a card from each suit in the chased order. So I use the 2 of clubs, 4 of hearts, 6 of spades, and since you need 5 key cards I use the 8 and 10 of diamonds. When I was practicing this trick and I flipped the cards over and all the hearts kind of stuck out. This way they really look random.
I wonder how genius could you be to create a card trick as complicated as this one... Thats amazing
This is my favourite card trick. Ever. Amazing.
i did this trick to myself and i happened to erase my memory i couldn't remember the key cards
HAHAHAHA!!! Cracked me up!!
lol
That is a fabulous trick. It has no possible explanation or clue as to how it was done! Truly a baffling enigma that will leave them scratching their heads and mark the magician as a mind reader as well. This is what real mind reading would look like. This is one that I will surely perform a lot.
+Samuel Hodges omg this is very hard to explain
What do you mean, hard to explain? It is simple. Look, tomorrow I will get back with you on this subject and see if I can clarify the method of the effect so that you can enjoy performing it as I do! I have tested it with great results. trust me. Once you learn it, this may be one of your hall mark effects. I'm on my way out now, so when I get back in the morning I will begin helping you.
The problem is the card they think , they just look at it and memorize them. We didn't know those cards that they have chosen and then when we do this method it's always worked , how is it possible?Please, I need some explanation and tks you Mr.Samuel Hodges.
This is one of those card effects that deal with mathematics. One have to have a high IQ of math to really know how it works exactly.
I do some other card effects of the natural.
I don't even know how or better yet, why it and others like it works.
It's like the 21 card trick. It you haven't seen it, google it. Then just when I thought that the 21 card trick couldn't get any better, Bill Malone does a version better than the original 21 card trick. It is totally baffling.
Again mathematics is good to add to tricks because most people doesn't have the skills of math to figure out the method. all I know is that when learning such tricks, just follow the steps directed and all will be fine in the end.
Of course presentation and showmanship plays a big part in making the trick spectacular. Even the easy ones.
The powerful part about such mind reading tricks is that the chosen card is a mystery, even to the performer up until the dirty work is done!
The 21 card trick is what I do first for people and then follow up with "Read Five Minds At Once."
I have the key card in "Five Minds...." already set up on top of the deck.
But when I begin the 21 card trick, I deal the cards from the deck face up. Or I run through the deck and remove 21 cards without disturbing the set up top face don cards for the 'Read Five Minds..." trick.
After the "21 card trick," of reading one person's mind. I say, "Lets take it a step further. I want to try my hand at reading five minds. I'll do exactly same thing, but just a little bit different." Then I go into, "Read Five Minds..." trick as the two effects roll into a routine and makes a great finale!
Watch the video(s) again and again until you get a good feel for the ideal of how the effect runs.
Don't just learn a trick and do it. Put work into it to make it more than a trick. But something entertaining.
How do you do this...?
Watch others do the trick and see there showmanship and presentation. How they work the audience and what they say and how they say things. How they jester and so-on.
See how natural they look and sound.
Pick up on these things and then make them your own by adding yourself into the trick, using your own character or personality when performing!
It won't come all at once, so be patient.
We will chat more on this subject later.
Keep the magic alive!
Check out Matt Parker's mathematic card effects tutorials. One effect that I want you to see is the, "27 card Trick."
Because it is one of those mathematic effects where you know why the effect works, unlike the. "21 Card Trick," where you don't know why the effect works but by following the steps in the, "21 Card Trick," the effect pays off in the end.
What I want you to do is start training yourself to study how learned master magicians, (if you are not already there yet or have a knowledge and the skills), of how such effects can be pulled off with great impact.
Start developing your skills by learning how to deliver your patter, personality, manner, eye contact, relaxing under fire, smoothness...
all this falls under your showmanship as a performer. This makes your presentation a performance piece. Not just another trick.
But something that people will remember and wonder about.
Now, Matt's tutorial is one where you really have to pay attention to and follow to understand why and how the trick works.
Mismag822 also gives a tutorial of the, '27 Card Trick," which may help you understand the working of the effect.
The internet is full of information about magic. Remember, it's not about giving away the secrets of magic. But sharing the knowledge of magic and passing it on.
Don't let the knowledge die with you.
Don't worry about reveals. If someone really wants to know secrets of magic they have to make an effort to get it.
So, my friend. Make an effort and become the best magician that you can be.
That is your driving effort!
It is useful to know the trick can be done with less people/piles, as long as the number-of-piles/number-of-cards-in-pile matches (eg 3 cards/3 piles).
Learning tip: once the piles have been sorted at 4:21, you are ready to simply turn them over. The extra maneuvers are window-dressing and can be confusing to remember and can wreck the trick if messed - you end up with 5 unhappy people!!! Some audiences are sharp and will notice these maneuvers don't add anything except more time, or that the cards are being dealt differently than before. Letting them deal the cards 'free will' is a nice move to finish on. I've found I prefer to pad the trick out with mind-reading patter than to add unnecessary moves.
Thanks Mismag822, and all the best for 2017!!!
I tried the trick and it worked! Amazingly mind blown. I mean I know how to do the trick but don't understand the logic behind it 😂😂 truly astonished
I'm having a hard time with this one, I only got 2/5 right
Joey Tirona You’re doing something wrong
I kept doing the ending wrong. I was flipping them off one at a time, instead of taking off the top 5 and putting them down. I was having the same issue for ever
@@dylandylan6114 so is it randomly stacked after the audience picking his card? Or it needs to be in the right order?
@@dafanabawi8078 Randomly. It works as long as you place 1 card per pile, until you've put down a full set of 5. But you can place the cards in any pile. Just complete a set before double stacking
@@dylandylan6114 thanks, it explains everything
It doesn;t work once we shuffle all cards ARE MISPLACED when i tried the last step two key cards had came on the same pile and on there was no and three in the same pile.

Edit:- Thanks for the great trick
:-)
I discovered a shorter version of this that I didn't think would work but time and time again it amazed me by working. The idea of having to write the 5 numbers down was turning me off. I tried it with 3 key cards plus 6 cards for 3 piles of 3 and it works similar to here where you used 5 key cards plus 20 for 5 piles of 5. I think the 3 piles of 3 some will find better because 1) a spectator (or magician practicing) can easily remember 3 selected cards whereas memorizing 5 cards, not so much. 2) 25 cards was getting messy. 9 cards is a more compact trick. 3) The 3x3 method allows them to deal down face up immediately after chosen their card and no matter where they put cards, so long as they take turns putting a card on each pile before adding to the next, it will always key the Magician to the correct 3 cards.
Still watching in 2019???
If spectator chose key card 2 4 6 8. What did We do so. Thanks
When I tried it, omg I was like " this is amazingly scary "
I love this trick, but what if the spectators want to see that again?You can't just say:"ok wait a second" while you adjust the key cards again ahaha
but true magicians don't repeat their tricks:-)
You show them the deck of cards and memories the 5 cards on the top of the deck, it is abit hard though
+AntOrunese amain when i do it to my family they dont mind cause they know im not a professional
Tell them it's a "trick." You are not magic. Tell them you must prepare yourself and set it up. It's an amazing trick. One person wanted me to give her the cards to shuffle. Why do people want to ruin the trick for you? I reminded her it was a trick, and she was no longer interested. Wasn't amazed as the others were. Some people are astounded, as they should be. This is a great card trick. Thanks for posting Card Teacher.
I tried to do it with different cards with no (2,4,6,8,10 of hearts) and i just need to remember the top card
I love this trick. The trick wasn’t working at first but then I read the comments and realized why. When the spectator picks the cards from decks, the trick will only work if they start from the deck of cards with the 2 of hearts. Then move on to the next deck with 4 of heartd
I watched ur videos 10 years ago and now again :D
I just tried this and it totally worked... But I am SO confused!!! You need a mathematical brain for this... and I don't. But I am going to try this on someone tonight...
I figured out how to do it without putting the 5 cards on top of the deck, it is purely mathematical I could go in further if you want me to ^^
Roianzor @ 4:30 he says to have a spectator cut the deck and complete the cut. What I don't understand is how does that not upset the card order??
qwertydorknut5 Actually I forgot that when I did it without the set cards :p I suppose it won't work in that case because it does change the card order
That's what I don't get. I don't understand how the entire trick isn't foiled when the deck is cut by a random person.
qwertydorknut5 try it urself, it should make sense. Use easy to notice indicator cards, it's all about the order in which you pick the packs up
What if they pick a key card, and both key cards are in the same pile?
Zane Pena based on which spectarot he was u can understand which card he chose.If he was the first it was the 2 of hearts if it was the second it was the 4 of hearts and thats how it goes on
Do you have a girl named johanny Peña in your family
xaris diamantis What if the card he chose is in the same pille as the 2H.
i told u before!Lets say the 2 of hearts and the 4 of hearts are in the same pile and the 6 of hearts and the second spectator tells u that his card is in this pile u look where th 4 of hearts is since this was his card if u say the 4 of hearts is in the second pile then thats his card no matter what other key cards are there
+xaris diamantis no but hes saying what if the same pile with both 2 and 4 of hearts PLUS the 6 of hearts because now u cant tell because the 8 of hearts and 10 of hearts are also together in second pile which was 3rd spectator pile?
What if they choose the keycard?
It's more easy..let's say if spectator choose the key card 2H..then the spectators said this pile have his/her (in that pile have 2H)..so you already know the spectators card
The trick works great but one thing I would say is make sure you don't flip the cards a different way when you reveal them. What do I mean? Well, when you turn over the cards in their respective 5 card piles you must make sure that they are always in the same order. For me as the dealer that's relative to me which means the cards run left to right like a set of stairs where the leftmost card is at the bottom and the rightmost card is at the top. You can see this in the video at around the 5:00 mark onwards. If he had laid out some cards the opposite way then the trick does not work as I have found this from experience and when teaching it to others. I helped them out and turned some cards over for them relative to my POV and it screwed with the card predictions.
this is my all time favorite. Its called SLEIGHT OF MIND by karl fulves
if the Spectator chooses your key card what then happende?
happends
Joas Moehn If he is fourth for example, you know his keycard is 8 of hearts. If he points to the pile with his keycard, you know he chose the keycard
Henry Schouten Thank you very much
it worked the first couple of times now it doesnt wtf
Syntax AVA the exact fooking same for me..... It worked three times then didn't work at all..... Spooky
You must be messing up somewhere. Make sure you’re assigning the key cards to the spectators not the piles.
Its pached now lol
this works but my dad says i sauld shut the fuck upp because he thinks im cheating
You are technically
I've done this trick to kids, adults, co-workers, family members...and they are all shocked when I tell that what card they picked. Some people get really annoyed because they cant figure out how it's done. It's my favorite self-working trick I've ever done.
Plz tell me how it works successfully. I tried two times but it does not work.
It DOES work. I followed the directions with different cards and it worked, for those that said that it didn't work I can bet it is because they did not pay attention to the angles or positions. that's what you need to be careful at everything else is just selfworking as he said. Remeber that when you see the video you need to understand where you're going to place the cards and also how to spread them. That's the key
It's not in the same spot for me.... HELP
+2562casey watch closely on 4:40 how he spreads the cards. the card that is on the top of the deck needs to be the 1. card that will touch the table(the last card)
+Adrian Bošnjak it still didn't work!
dude your tricks are AMAZING I WANT TO WIN A BLACK DECK
dude this was 4 years ago
+Mike Aiken I DONT CARE
btw that was me
Heloo again everybody!!! XD Never gets old!!
This also works with three piles of three, four piles of four, six of six, and seven of seven. Really odd too, how you can do it, pick up the stacks in a different order and cut the deck even and re-deal the five face-up groups. And it still works, even though all positions change.
I tried it on some friends and they were amazed by it because they thought I wouldn't be able to find their card. This trick is amazing, I love it and your the greatest
What if the spectator wants one of the hearts
Just say them at start that don't memorise ❤ coz they all all mine
5 years late, but say if person #3 says their card is in the same pile as your #3 keycard, then you know that's their card.
what if the spectator pick 2 4 6 8 10 of hearts ?
+Evan Mojedo then you would know it...
He answers it at 7:13
i memorized the 9 of spades the same time when you said to tell the spectators to memorize a card
my godd....this trick it impossible to make any mistakes during my tricks with my friends....thank you very muchhhh
WOW..... THE BEST CARD TRICK I HAVE EVER SEEN .....JUST AMAZING
2019 anyone?
why cant i do this T^T
U sound like adam sandler
Its an amazing card trick best card trick ever tried but my brain is freakn off to know how this works every time i preforme it really fantastic magic trick. Best channel ever
Ok, I finally figured it out, it used to not work for me, but here is how you do it. You do what he said in the video. The thing is though, he didn’t tell us that you have to keep track of your key cards, mine are 1-5 of spades, so what I do is I know which card is in which pile at the begging and then I give spectator 1 the ace of spades, 2 the 2 of spades pile, and so on. That’s how you get it to work

I tried this ten times it doesn't work
>:(
15x, not working. I get 2-3, but not 5. Usually 3.
It doesn't work every time
For the 3rd time!! I did it at last!! Guys it works out for me. Just follow him slowly and carefully.. =) thanks for this tutorial =)
The way i think this trick works is when dealing the cards in 5 piles after the spectators have picked their cards, you make sure that all the cards from the 1st pile are in the bottom layer, and all the cards from the 2nd pile are in the 2nd layer etc. It doesnt matter how much the spectators mix their pile, because their cards are ending up in the same layer anyway, and there can only be 1 card per new pile. So when they point to their pile, you just look for which layer the key card is in.
But won't the cut you make at 4:35 risk separating a key card form its respective spectator card? Example. I cut the deck between cards #13 and 14, which are 2 of hearts and the 1st spectators card. The key card ends up in the bottom of the deck, and the spectator card ends up in the top, so they are in different layers at the end. That would mean a 1/5 chance to get one persons card wrong. Still pretty accurate though.
No the cut won't change anything.
Explanation: Actually, the part from 4:00 to 4:30 is only there to rearrange the cards in this way.
from this:1-1-1-1-1-2-2-2-2-2-3-3-3-3-3-4-4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5-5
to this:1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5
Now if you cut it will have no observable impact on the execution of the trick.
Example: 1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5-1-2----------------3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5 (cutting between 2 and 3)
3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5-1-2 (rearranging)
The important thing is to have a sequence that repeats itself 5 times(1-2-3-4-5 or 3-4-5-1-2 or whatever), so that when we separate the stack in 5 piles, the key card (and all other card the spectator initial pile) is the same position as the chosen card.
And then knowing in which pile the chosen card is (the spectator tells you) and in which position it is (the key card tells you), it is easy to find the chosen card
Note: there are probably other "shuffling" methods beside cutting that guarantee that you have the sequence that repeats itself 5 times
2nd Note: Also important is to remember which spectator has which key card
Pierre Stöber Great explanation! I was wondering how cutting it worked.
you sound like olaf from frozen.
LOOOOL , true
made no sense to me at the end
it's quite easy to understand actually
oh right, can you please explain?
actually
Dan Rowbotham At the end..1st spectator says hes card is in 'that' pile..but u see which position the 2 of hearts is in...then the spectators card is in the same position in 'that' pile.
every group of five cards is dealt in the same position. for example the 5 cards in the frist pile will be in the end the five cards on third (or frist, or second, ecc...)position in each group
2019 anyone
This trick is amazing I learnt from here and have been doing it over 10 years now
OUTSTANDING FOR A TOTAL NEW COMER THAT IS AMAZED BY MAGIC. THANKS VERY MUCH
It doesn't work
isaac lee watch the scam school version on his link. i tried that one. and it works. This one didnt work for me too
isaac lee u r a bad magician it worked for me
isaac lee I got it to work. Watch exactly how he deals the first 5 Hearts. The order of them decides positions of player 1-5 is. 2h is player 1. 4 h is player 2 etc. Lastly the spread of the 5 cards at end can be messed up. Make sure you spread them in proper direction. If not careful you will spread wrong way.
delete this video, we want this trick secret
theblazer Agreed
We must find a way to delete this video! Summon the Illuminati
Ayyyy same profile pic!
wait... you said at the end if the spectator chooses the pile as one of your key cards, then that key card is their card... but what if there are 2 key cards in the same pile? for example 2(hearts) and 8(hearts) were in the same pile in this video... what if they chose that pile?
Brandon Coats It will be the one what is coming, always the lower, you are going in an order. when you need 2 as a keycard then thats will be their card. If he 8 is your next keycard thats their card.
really good trick and brilliant. Question...can you do it with lets say, less card predictions or key cards? Like for example 2 key cards so 2 predictions. Can it happen this way?
WOW man it really DOES WORK , I did it like 9 times and it worked everytime, thank you for this AWESOME trick
This is the best card trick, I realy amazed all my friends.
I get WHY it works, I'll try to break it down but it won't be easy... well we have 5 deck of cards with one selected card and a key card in each of them. now the idea is that all 5 cards in each deck are not completely separated. what I mean:
when you stack all the decks, the order of the cards is like this:
1st 5-card deck (shuffled)
2nd 5-card deck (shuffled)
and so on. so when you distribute the cards into the new 5 piles, the FIRST card of each pile belonged to (let's say) the first initial deck. try to understand that first, it is crucial. so after we've made the 5 new piles, we have that the bottom cards of each pile are the cards of one of the initial decks, the same for the second cards of each pile and so on. when we stack these too together, the order is like:
1st deck card- 2nd deck card- 3rd deck card- 4th deck card- 5th deck card- 1st deck card... This thing 5 times. so if you spread the top five cards, the order of them will be the one above, AND THE SAME ORDER will exist in each of the five face-up piles that you make in the end. you get it? so now you have that every bottom card belonged to a specific initial deck, the same for the second from the bottom and so on... the rest of it is simple, when the spectator tells you in which pile the first chosen card is (it's important that the spectator tell you about the card chosen from the first deck, the one with the 2 of hearts, and then the second, the third...) all you have to do is locate WHICH POSITION (bottom card, top card ecc) OF THE SELECTED PILE COMES FROM THE FIRST INITIAL DECK and you do that by watching where the first key card is. if it is on the top, that means that all the top cards in each pile are the cards from the first initial deck. I really hope you get it, it's such a brilliant trick.
(I didn't mention the cut, but that's because a cut doesn't actually change the order of the cards, only it "rotates" their position. you can figure it out on your own by experimenting with a deck of cards)
your tricks are really easy and good and i get a very good feedback after doing it in streets
Did this trick tonight at a party, got a great response. Thanks Mismag!
So. I do have a question. How does this actually work? How is it that the 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 of Hearts Cards end up in the same spot as each spectators card? Is there some sort of formula? Or is it really magic...? I love your channel so much. I've impressed so many ppl with your tricks! Keep up the AMAZING work!!!
I don't know how this works..... But it's amazing.... It blows me mind
Hi MISMAG822. I love your tricks . . . but as Abhinay Kumar asked, what if the spectator's card (say 8S) is in the same pile as one of the Heart cards, say 4H which is in the 3rd position. It can never be in the third position? How would you recognize the 8S?). Am I missing something?
The earliest version I know of this is called the Miracle Princess, by Mr Fingers (Irv Weiner). There are a lot of versions of this out there now. Definitely a classic.
Another awesome trick, do you have to deal the cards into 5 piles a second time?
I have a question. When performing this trick, I ran into a situation where I’d like some advice. I had a key card that turned out to be in the position of another key card. I ended up guessing wrong. What should I do in that scenario?
So it must be their chosen card
This is a really awesome card trick!!! It amazes a lot of people!!! If you don't mind, could I have a deck plzzzzzz:))) (no pressure)
Boom I got it just do it randomly in the 3rd step. 1 question what if the audience will say to do it again? How do you set the 5 cards in place?
Awesome trick man you are the best teacher ever I hope i get a reward for this
This is a really great trick. Works like a charm. Can someone explain to me how cutting the deck doesn't mess up the sequence?
I've tried it myself and it works every time. I would think cutting the deck anywhere would mess things up.
The cut is, like i said, important, because it shifts positions. Let's assume a cut of 11 cards. The cards of pile 1 are on position 1,6,11,16 and 21 before the cut. Now add 11 to that position. Remember the sequence is 25 cards long, so if you get over 25 you start at 1. So the new positions for pile 1 are 12,17,22,2 and 7. If you split the deck into 5 piles (no dealing) all cards of pile 1 are now on the 2nd position in each of the split piles.
When you cut a deck, you never change the order of the cards. This trick relies on the order, not the position.
U need to do a fake cut or just a riffle where you let the top cards ve thr top cards
Lisa Messi u need a fake cut or just a riffle where you let the top cards be the top cards
Absolut the Best card trick ever
