Hey this is fire boy 11 again. Today I'm going to talk about how i blew my friend's minds with this trick. So I was talking to these two guys and i realized i had a deck of cards with me. So i took it out and told them that i was going to show them something amazing. I first took out the face cards, i.e the kings, the queens and the jacks. I said that these cards wouldn't take part in the trick. Then i gave the deck to one of them and asked him to shuffle it till he felt that it was completely mixed up and i would have no idea of the order of cards. Then i asked him to put the deck down on the desk and i asked him to deal one card to him and one card to me. I told him that i would show him all the remaining cards in the deck ( without the cards he picked out and the face cards which i took out earlier.) and he should try and guess which cards are missing and guess the card which he dealt to me. I dealt the whole thing and asked him for his guess. He said the four of diamonds. I looked at my card and saw that it was the nine of clubs. I told him that he was wrong. I didn't show him the card however and i turned to my other friend and told him i would go through the deck again and that he should guess my card. I did that and he said ten of hearts. I said that he was wrong and i revealed that it was the nine of clubs. Then i asked my friends if they would be amazed if i could guess their card correctly. They nodded, and were probably thinking that i was going to make this big fool of myself. Then i waved my hand above their card to make it look all impressive and said that it was the three of diamonds. They just looked on in disbelief.
So how did i pull this one off? Well first you take out the face cards, tell your audience if you must. Then ask them to shuffle it themselves, so that they don't think that you are cheating. Then ask them to deal you one card and themselves one card. Right so until now it was all fair but now is the trick. When you add the values of all the non face cards in the deck the sum is equal to two hundred and twenty. So when you go through the cards for them the first time you just add up all the values. But it turns out that there is an easier way. So when you add the values you always cancel you the tens place value. For example 5 +7= 12, but you cancel the forget about the tens place so the answer is 2. Similarly 7+8=5 , 1+2= 3 and 5+5=0. On adding all the non face in the deck (including the cards which were dealt to you and the audience) this way the final answer should be 10 or by talking out the tens place 0. So once you go through the deck the first time you have a value in your head. Then Check their card and add on that value to the total. Now you know the value of their card, i.e. 10-the value in your head. so now you know the value of the card. Then when you go through the deck of cards the second time you look out for the cards with that value. In a whole deck there will be four of all values, one in each suite. But now if you have added correctly then there will be only three cards of that value in the deck. The fourth suite of that card will be the card that they dealt to themselves.
So there you have it. Psychic powers with no skill at all. So how do you pervert this innocent magic trick into a scam. A wise man once said that magic will never make you cool but will make you rich. To make money out of this scam bet your friend that you will correctly get their card right. Even if they bet a small sum of money it is ok. Go on and win that bet. Once you do your friend will be willing to pay a larger sum to know your secret.
