    Here's my slight variation on this trick:
    If N1 < N2, put the second "fail" card on the bottom before counting the difference.
    If N1 > N2, put the whole second pile underneath as Matt did.
    That way you can be consistent with how you count the cards (always turn over the Nth card, instead of counting N and then turning over the next card).

      Sarthak Mohanty When he turns over the "wrong" card the second time, he can slide that card underneath while putting the rest of the cards back on top. Then the prediction card ends up at the 3rd (or whatever) position and he can simply turn over the 3rd card instead of counting to 3 and then turning over the next card.
      That way he can count the other piles in the same manner (just turn over the last card), so he never has to change how he counts the last pile and risk someone noticing.

    Don't do the failing twice thing. Just ask for a number, deal, ask for another number, deal, then show that they found the card. Failing twice makes it looks like you are just going to keep going until you finally reach their card

    Much simpler, easier and more effective as a trick (IMO of course) - first, tell them to pick a number between 5 and 20 so you're not counting cards all day long. You count down and show whatever number card they said. After you get it wrong, put the cards back on the deck, and then act like you just realized that since THEY came up with the number THEY should do it. Hand them back the deck, they count down the same number, and quicker than you can say Spiriti mei infernali, obedite, it works.

    @samuelhodges6471 7 лет назад +2

    Nice. Covered all of the possibilities. I like the MIT (Magician In Trouble), syndrome. This effect is a great follow up after an ACAAN (Any Card At Any Number), effect where the effect is carried one step further (if it ever comes up that the spectator is sceptic of the first effect ), by allowing the spectator to pick the number where the card should be in a sense that you sent the number to the spectator, yet leaving the spectator with the thought that the spectator really received the number that you sent or the spectator could have picked any number that popped in their head. This is perfect when the spectator is sceptic that the performer is really not sending the number to them mentally and the spectator just say any number to see if the trick will work. So, when the effect still works, in that case, this makes the effect all the more powerful!

  • @Vixikats
    @Vixikats 11 лет назад +2

    This is a mechanic that can easily be added onto to involve audience members picking the card. Add a little sleight of hand into the equation and you can really make a brain-teasing trick that's guaranteed to baffle people. Not many magicians actually mix sleuth tricks with math tricks, but when it's done well, it's really good.

  • @malosmys7660

    This is an invitation to see an artist theory on the physics of light and time!
    This theory is based on just two postulates
    1. Is that the quantum wave particle function Ψ or probability function represents the forward passage of time itself
    2. Is that Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle ∆×∆p×≥h/4π that is formed by the w-function is the same uncertainty we have with any future event within our own ref-frame that we can interact with turning the possible into the actual!

  • @barts185
    @barts185 12 лет назад

    Two things to correct: First - there's 52 factorial ways that a deck can be shuffled. So as opposed to 52 squared, which would be 2704 ways to shuffle a deck, there's actually
    80,658,175,170,943,878,571,660,636,856,403,766,975,289,505,440,883,277,824,000,000,000,000
    ways a deck of cards can be shuffled.
    And even with all those ways to shuffle a deck of cards, there's only 52 spots a particular card can go in, so the 8 of diamonds will be in slot 1 (on top) once out of every 52 times.

  • @Tanguero1
    @Tanguero1 8 лет назад +1

    When a person chooses a smaller number second (e.g., 7 followed by 5) you do not need to change the trick and present the 5 card. Simply ask them to choose the second number, in this case 5 and place the 8th card on top of the pile you just counted out instead of placing in back on the the main card pile. Proceed with placing the "counted" pile underneath the main pile and count out 2 in this example and the 3rd card will be the card you wrote down.

    @WhimsicottFanatic 4 года назад

    I always forget how RUclips comments didn't always have sub-threads for direct replies until I watch videos that are like 6, 7 years or older and see comments [usually from the uploader] that are seemingly nonsensical and talking to nobody, when in reality they are actually in response to another comment and replies just used to be their own comments
    Really makes me appreciate the current comment system, honestly.
    But remembering the old system reminded me of the spot above the comments where folks could "submit" [for lack of a better word] a video to be there as a related/response video [I don't remember specifically what the term was, if there's anyone who's as much of a fossil as I am who's actually understanding what I'm talking about, let me know] with the uploader's approval

    • @WhimsicottFanatic
      @WhimsicottFanatic 4 года назад

      Like maybe an actual explanation of that system would help:
      Take this video for example, imagine if a viewer, after watching this video, decided to make a video of them doing this trick on a friend
      Said viewer could then "submit" [again, for lack of a better word] their video to Numberphile, and if Numberphile approved it, then the viewer's video would always be in a specific section above the comments, different from the actual, RUclips-picked recommended/related
      That was probably still explained bad, but I swear this existed, I remember it being used for collab videos and whatnot

    If you do this, be consistent with which card you show. If they say 5, and you count to 4 and then show the 5th card, make sure they do the same. If you're showing the card AFTER the number they say (so they say 5, and you count to 5 and then show the 6th card), make sure you put that (6th) card on top of the pile before you put it back on the deck, or it will be off by 1 card.
