Correctly Predict Any Card's Position in the Deck!

- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- This one's an all-time classic that honestly does let you guess where any chosen card is in the deck.
To clarify, the deck is arranged in CHaSeD order: Clubs, Hearts, Spades, Diamonds -- and each card increases by a value of 3. We have a few other episodes based around this principle.

wait a minute... THIS IS JUST MATH CLASS WITH CARDS!!!
Thank God! I legit spent a full weekend and then a lot of time the following week trying to find or create this exact formula! I needed it for a custom effect (which I may send you sometime). I did so much research and I even tried to get a hold of the Si Stebbins book, but didn't find anything in the research, and could not get the book. I even looked at your older Si Stebbins Stack videos, along with a lot of other ones. This would have been so helpful 3 or 4 weeks ago. Anyways, I can't tell you just how much this has helped me! Thanks!
fantastic! thanks, man.
Scam School
Scam School That was the best opening because you trolled
Can you please explain the formula to me then because I don’t understand the offset card part. I get the rest of the formula but I don’t get why Brian takes 3 card as the offset value.
I was just trying to figure the math on a Stebbins Stack for this effect last week. I was too lazy to get out of my chair and get a pen. I had paper on the table. Thankfully, I have Brian the intern to do all my little chores.
This is great. I love anything using the si Stebbins stack. good job brian, you've made me adequately pleased for another week!
This is a great use for the chased deck. I've been practicing the 'how many cards did I cut' trick. A great addition to an already set up deck, and would work great just before shuffling into another trick. Thanks for another one for my repertoire.
Great vid and version of the Si Stubbins. This way you have use your math brain. There is also a version by cutting the Deck by the spector (behind your back) the spectator pick the first card (see it ) an put it in the middle of the deck. When you turn around you take the deck and climse the bottom card. Count 3 further to the value (for example the card was a King of clubs = Ace, 2, 3 than keep the order rule of suits in mind = Heart- Pik - Clubs and Diamonds. The spectators card was a 3 of Diamond.
Thanxx a lot Brian for your version.
Since there is a pattern, you can square the deck. As long as you peak/memorize the bottom card, you can figure out the bottom 4. Qc would result in 3h, 6s, 9d, Qc. IMO, more impressive if you square the deck and put it down.
Was trying to figure out what I was doing wrong for about an hour until I realised I needed to reverse the order of the deck
This trick gets really hard if you have bad memory, and even more hard the more people you add (especially if they pick different suits). Not easy, but MAN it is amazing. Also, you all MUST check out the PDF book. Trick 2 I believe is really cool ( the behind the back one). I will now devote myself to learning this stack.
Makes me smile when you said- 793.8. The go to place in any new library I visited when i was a young aspiring magician as a young kid :)
Mind bending! Let me know if you ever want a custom close up card pad. Could make a great video. :)
Make Something 😳what brought you here
Great to see you here :)
Just make it and send it to him,,,
I think he might not need one since he recently started producing his "Rogue's Arena" Performance Pad. However, if you are going to make something (no pun intended) for him, you should make a puzzle box. He loves them puzzle boxes :D
Damn! I know this is an old post but hoping you still get this. SUPER EFFECT. Thanks so much for sharing this. It seems like an "impossible" outcome scenario and then BAM!
Brushwood I'm telling you this because I'm sure you don't get to hear it enough.
I'm glad you teach real nuts and bolts magic. I understand that selling props to do tricks are how lots of magicians survive, but by teaching the stuff devoid of special props you are actually making better magicians.
I'm saying this because at a bar I ran into another magician recently. He had come out with a bunch of stuff from the magic shop, I just had my dollar store cards, matches and dice . He was genuinely impressed that I performed all night using just those things and other crap from around the bar. Made me feel good that it was my knowledge and talent and not my wallet that made my routine. Also made me feel like a real magician and not just a simple con man.
Man, I'm so happy to hear this. Thanks for sharing!
Also I have bought the scam school books and your book on fire eating so I'm not a complete freeloader.
So just to be clear (*SPOILER ALERT*),
You look at the bottom 4 cards and pick the one with the same suit as the Spectator's cards (I will now refer to it as a key card)
You then take the value of that key card, and subtract it from the value of the spectator's card
You multiply that number by 4
And then you subtract however many cards are keeping the key card from being the bottom
Did I do that right?
2ManyTekkers That's what I got from the vid as well. Try it with the Queen of Clubs. I can't seem to get it right.
2ManyTekkers I thought the same, but I looked through it and it all checks out. Check my math? First we subtract the 10 which is my club 1 from bottom. The difference between 10 and Queen is 3. Multiply by 4 is 12. subtract one. Am I off somewhere?
Wait wait wait, no I was wrong. Here's what you need to do.
First off, a10 is less than a Queen, so you add 13, giving you 23.
23 - *12* (A queen is a 12, not 13 like you had earlier :'D) is 11
11 * 4 is 44
44 - 1 is a 43
The Queen is 43 cards from the top.
Alternatively, you could do
12 (Queen) - 10 (Key Card) is 2.
2 * 4 is 8
8 + 1 (offset) is 9
If you have a face up deck and you deal down 9 cards (flipping each face down to maintain the order), the next face up card will be the Queen of Clubs
Much math tho.
Ok. Adding 13 may help. Thanks!
one of the first Scam School videos i ever saw was about this "chased" method of ordering the cards. thats how you got this subscriber, however long ago it was.
awesome
legend has it, if you are sarcastic enough brian brushwood himself will reply with a funny comment
I love that you know the index number for magic books, that is hilarious.
Hopefully i can help some confused people look at the bottom 4 whatever suit matches the chosen card is x and the card chosen is y so
X-y= z then x4 so z x 4 = A then A minus the cards left to get to the last card on the bottom so if it’s the 3rd card then -2 or if it was the fourth card -0 but if the chosen card is more than the bottom 4 cards so example chosen car is 7of clubs and bottom card is 4 of clubs it would become -3 x 4= -12 but it is from the card after the bottom so if bottom is 3 of clubs and the card based on order behind K of diamonds you start counting towards the top from that
How set up the deck first ?
A way I've modified this trick is to cut the deck so that there is a club on the bottom. I do this by curling my hand and letting the deck flop back onto my fingers. Using my peripheral vision I look at the deck while keeping eye contact with my spectator. From there I just have to steal a glance at its value later on. Easy enough with a few hand movements. Once I know that I can just count backward so I can know the other 3 cards. It can be done with any card really, but I find it simpler to have a club on the bottom. It may require some good eyes but then you can pull this trick off without revealing the deck. While most people won't notice a pattern I am afraid of finding that one person that does.
Bottom Card peak is 9 of hearts ❤️. They pick Queen of Diamond. Can't subtract 12 from 9 so subtract 12 from 13+9 = 10. Multiply by 4 is 40 so we know the 40th card is Queen of Hearts but 26 before it is the Queen of Diamond in the 14th position using my Spades Hearts Club and Diamonds shape order.
Say what you will. But Si Stebbins is my favorite stack. Keep your Mnemonica, Aaronson, etc. I'll keep my Si.
A... a Dairy Queen ad?
... ad block... HOW COULD YOU LET ME DOWN?!?! It's worked for so long only to fail this one time just now somehow!
I lost my shit when I saw that ad. I tried a few other vids, but didn't get any ads. Every time I refreshed this one it had it though. I think I'm going to download a few more ad blockers. I thought one was enough, but better safe than sorry.
cmck Hire like 5 ad blockers, let them fight to the death to see who's the best and can block them all!
Whichever can block the other blockers!
Micah Philson Actually it's possible that two ad blockers will block two separate ads that the other won't. Basically two ad blockers might work together to block every ad, but one or the other won't. The downside would be your pc using more resources, but it probably wouldn't be significant enough to notice.
The Chsd is one of the best systems in Card Magic🖒
Agreed!
Just came from the false cuts video
The start gave it away for me
Hahaha
Si stebbins tricks are pretty sweet ngl
I'll see you in schenectady this saturday dude! Can't wait to see your tricks :D
awesome!!
I need to get one of those felt pads/tables for my tricks! Picking up cards from a regular table is tough and clumsy.
Good guests.
You can also find what specific card is on a chosen location in the deck by doing the formula backwards
Is that also a false shuffle at 0:18-0:25? What is that shuffe called?
u can watch a video by 52kards called false in the hands riffle shuffle. It's not a tabled shuffle though.
I'm Not sure if Brian did it, but you can use a push throughbshuffle or a narrow shuffle.
Zarrow shuffle
that was a fake shuffle also all you need to do is do a riffle shuffle and then instead of joining all the cards together just push the cards that were in one of your hands out towards the other hand. (think of it like this you have a set of cards and you split the deck in two and do a riffle shuffle (the bottom half is on your right and top is on your left) instead of squaring and joining the cards together you slide the bunch of cards from your right hand towards your left and do the same to the other side so instead of having the bottom half on your right now the top half is on your right hand
666th Viewer? Where's Mr. Happy Pants when you need him!?
"Just like that movie Star Wars. Trolling." 😂
hahaha Si Stebbins my favorite hahaha i wish you would upload more od the si stebbins card trick
Si Stebbins strikes again!
Only need to remember card, not bottom 4. Just count backwards by 3 to work out others and do reverse chsd to figure out suite.
Wow, I've been binge watching your videos. Can I also make a request ?? There is this one trick I've never understood.... But there is no tutorial about it.
Coolest trick ever taking this to school tomorrow
I spotted the false shuffle and guessed Mnemonica, but thought that would be a little odd for Scam School
Say part backward
Don't do it....
It's a a trap
I said tarp.. lol
A pity he‘s dead now
@@simpwood4973 they did my boi admiral ackbar dirty
Evan Sweeney me too
Brian I'm surprised you don't have any Achievement Hunter folks on ScamSchool more often, considering the location.
BRIAN!

Hey Brian, what happened to your index finger and thumb? I saw in the body armor episode of the Modern Rogue you had the same band-aids on, just curious is all!
is peeling most cards while doing an overhand shuffle the same as cutting?
Yet another card trick I knew how to do before it was revealed. Am I graduated now?
i love scam school card tricks! !!
There was a guy in my country had a channel about tricks with the card, and he told us the way to put the card in order, as well as how to caculate the position of a card, like him (*point to Scam School). And guess what? He was said: "what if the opponents suffle the deck but not cut it?" and then " :))) ". Just my short story, and my grammar is a little bit bad, please tell me if i wrong, i would be very appreciated :)
Bro I love ur magic!!!
* I remember this being called master system card locator so classic💪
That Juventus shirt in the back @9:21
Bottom card is King diamonds card picked is Ace hearts. 13-1=12x4=48 so 48th card is Ace diamonds. How do you adjust for this?
I've practiced but when I use for example the indian shuffle, the formula doesn't work or do I have to use only the shuffles shown in the video?
I can't really do it the camera angle and all that really bothers me can u guys do another one but explain slowly
play it again at .5 speed.
Scam School I managed to do this really amazing trick now thx Brian however I can't cut the deck and end up with the correct number
Scam Nation Love that si steppins but dont understand that bottom offset card. Ca you help please. Thanks
Really good stuff. Thank you!!!
NOTIF SQUAD WHERE YOU AT?
Just me :(
I saw on 9:42m the bandaid... not just on the back of hand but also on the thumb... did you get the stitches out already? I guess so... Taking mine of tomorrow... I still get shock wave on my finger... it's way to the tip of the finger... how it hurts!
oh, yeah. it's much better now: instagram.com/p/BPLdn2JhtMh/?taken-by=scamschoolbrian
Hey Brian, if someone wanted to submit an idea for you to use, where would you prefer it?
at the email address I give most episodes. Brian@shwood.com
Haha, mismag822 just did a similar trick using a si stack
Brian get off the stag, you're a kid xD
so are you if you cant spell stage correctly
with this stack, how would you know what card is at a specific position? Like let's say that the spectator names a random number like 34 how would you then figure out what the card is in the 34th position?
Could someone explain the Penn and Teller reference? I have no memory of them and the Three of Clubs.
They force the 3 of Clubs all the time. They originally picked it
because it isn't a face card and it doesn't have a lot of pips, so it
shows up well on video. They continue to use the same card as an inside
joke for their fans.
In short when Penn and Teller force a Card, they like to force the 3 of Clubs since it shows up easily to both the TV and audience. Eventually, people started catching on, but they kept using it because a) Not many people even knew about forces & b) It was a running joke with fans.
wish every tut was like this
What cards are you using in this video? Are they Artisans?
3:12 "Think of the cards as a circle" (makes a straight line) :-)
Great trick, much love! :-)
It's a great trick!! I love it!!
I just wanna ask, did anyone else notice the switch from the outlaw deck to the arcana deck?
Please give me how u setup the card, am not understand
0:21 that is the problem, you start shuffling the cards and was impossible to understand your trick because Its clear you had used an arranged deck. Anyway, great video, Thanks!
When you don't know what music to play so you just use the background music from spongebob
Can someone help me i'm a little confuse on the offset on how to get the offset's value. Thanks in advance
Was I the only one super confused when the OUTLAWS became the Arcana Omega?
What means subtracht the offset Thanks ???
Is there a way for us to send tricks/puzzles in and possibly have them featured on an episode?
brian@shwood.com
What deck was that, omg? Awesome.
can someone explain me what really the offset in the formula mean?please
John Petrucci special guest on this episode aawwwww yeah!
Brian what happened to your hand. Were you guys playing around too much with the homemade armor?
This trick is not working and I have no idea what I am doing wrong it’s quite annoying
Edit: I figured it out, the video is wrong when it says “bottom pair - chosen card” it is the reverse. You do the card chosen by the spectator minus the bottom card. Then it works.
You probably set it up in Reverse Si Stebbins, which is why you have to do the spectator's card minus the bottom card. If you set it up in regular Si Stebbins, the info in the video is correct.
super cool! thx
but what would happen if some one chose the same value but a different suit would that change the whole sequence
Griffith Horrell Yes it would. Let's imagine that 4 bottom cards are:
3 of hearts
6 of rhombus
9 of spades
Q of something
If someone choose 2 of spades you do:
9 ('coz spades) - 2 =7
7*4=28
28 - 1('coz Q of sth is last one)=27
It's 27th card
If someone choose 2 of hearts you do:
3('coz hearts)-2=1
1*4=4
4-3('coz there are three under it)=1
It's first from top
I think you got it now
THAT'S EZ
'\_(·.·)_/`
i had trouble understanding the offset thing. can someone help me?
Clubs heart spade diamonds then add 3 to get the next card
sometimes the color of the card isnt the same to what the spectator says pls help
mismag 822 did the same trick 2 days ago
my friend has IQ of 163. he can remember every card in the deck even when shuffled. but his lazy AF. I told few people to shuffle the deck 3 times each while his blindfolded and looking back. and yet he guessed it. I asked him how those he know and he replies with: "you've started with normally ordered cards. there where 6 people shuffling the cards 3 times. 6x3=18, and 52-18=34. 34/:4=8 and half. from every 8th card it's all the same order, but the middle one with 4 cards goes reverse. I've split the deck in 4 and put cards in order so I can remember from where it began-1♠ than the 2♦ then the 3♣ and then 4♥. between the numbers it's easy to remember that cards ad to 13." me: wow… what?!?
him: IT'S SIMPLE MATH GENIUS!
What happen to your hand Brian
domain.com?
ididnt get the order of the cards what do u mean we increase by 3
what does he mean by offset
How do you determine the offset amount? Is it determined by where the card of the same suit is at the bottom? Someone please explain
Yes.
Additional cards under your key card. 0-3
I keep getting negative numbers when I do the math, and it doesn't show me where the card is. What am I doing wrong?
You need to add 13 if you get a negative number. (Because it's cyclic).
Waiiit whaat?! No sponsor?!
Have you read the Si Stebbins Pamphlet?
Never mind my comment
:-D
What do u mean by offset?
sorry but i dont understand what's an offset :(
I keep getting negative numbers. Am I doing something wrong?
Add 13 to avoid negatives. Example from the end 1+13-9=5
i didn't understand how to arrange the values :(
He wasn't specific. Which Star Wars?
please get invisible deck available again!!!
