The Remarkable Cards That You Can’t Mix Up

Here is a simple to learn magic trick that is considered a self working trick. This means that you don’t need to learn any sleight of hand or special gimmicks to get this trick to work. This is a great trick to use with kids, or adults or anyone that likes to see some goofy magic.

Here’s how the hoax looks to your startled observers. You have all the cards of the equivalent suit taken out of the deck. So you’ve got all the hearts, or clubs, or whatever. Have them arranged in order, beginning from the ace, and ending with the king. If you are doing this with kids, you can even have them set the deck up for them.

After you’ve got it set up, then you go through the deck once, showing them all that they are certainly in order, starting from the ace, and ending at the king. If you like you can present them the short stack and have them check for themselves to make sure there is nothing odd going on.

Then elucidate the trick to them. You have the stack face down. If they say “deal,” then you take one card off the top, and place it face down on the desk, in a new stack. If they say “double deal” then you take two cards off the top, reverse the order and then place them face down in the same stack. Do this until you’ve gone through all the cards. Tell them that they have to remember the new order that the cards are in. While they are industriously trying to re calculate the order, you pick up the new stack, and begin to turn each card over one by one. They will be startled to see that the cards are still in the same order, starting from the ace, up to the king.

Most frequently, they will ask you to do it again, and again. And the cool part is, since this is a self working trick, they can do it themselves and it will still work. The reason it works should be obvious once you do this a few times. If you take only one card off the top, and place it in the new stack, (deal), or take two cards, and reverse the order, placing them in the new stack (double deal) they still end up in the same order, no matter if you deal or double deal them. To observe how this works, do the trick with all the cards facing up, and you’ll see how it works out.

This is extraordinary for kids of all ages, and several of them will never estimate how it works even after they do the trick themselves. Of course, you’ll occasionally run into a young logician or natural mathematician who’ll see right through this trick and recognize how it’s down. Nevertheless, this trick is fantastic for never-ending amounts of amusement, even with adults. Have fun with this easy trick.
