The Unbelievable Supernatural Card Deception
If you love to do up close magic, but can’t be bothered with learning all kinds of technical sleight of hand maneuvers, then you’ve come to the right place. This a completely mathematically based self working trick, which means anybody can do it. But since it seems to be mysterious, you can play it off like you’ve got powerful psychic abilities, and impress loads of people with this simple trick. The more you talk this trick up, the better.
Here’s how the deception looks like to your soon so be fascinated audience. You tell them that you have recently discovered some dominant skills of psychic projection. You can place thoughts secretly in their mind. Of course, they don’t trust you, and they ask for a exhibition, to which you fortuitously oblige.
You pull out a normal deck of cards, and open up the cards so that only you can see the cards. You spend a substantial amount of psychic power looking at the cards, and looking at your buddy. Then you put the cards back into a ordinary stack, and tell the person to pick any two cards, without naming the suit. Like ace, and queen, or ten and three, for example.
Once they choose their two cards, you look through the deck, and show them that the two cards they chose are right next to each other. They will be amazed, and likely ask you to do this trick again. You go through the motions of looking at the cards, and projecting the numbers into their heads. Once again they choose two cards, and once again you show them their two cards are right next to each other in the deck.
The rationale this always works is due to absolute mathematical probability. Since they aren’t naming the suit of the card, and only the number, there is about a ninety percent likelihood that any two cards they pick will be next to each other, since when they choose two cards, their in fact choosing eight (two cards of four suits each). And just pure mathematics, the probability of any two of any eight cards in a deck being next to each other is about ninety percent.
Of course, the more you talk this trick up, the better. The more you act as if to project thoughts into their mind, and go through the motions of doing painful psychic projection the better. If you want you can make a kindly wager with them that you can accurately “project” the cards into to their head before the trick. Have fun with this.
