Master this UNBEATABLE Easy Card Trick for Beginners in Minutes! 

I came to the comments to see if this trick was too easy. It’s the first trick I tried to learn. What’re you guys talking about? It works fine.

Reminds me of another trick called, 'Jack the Bounty Hunter' In that one, Jack (one of the four Jacks) searches for 'the bad guy' after he just robbed the bank and was on the loose. You guessed it, Jack caught 'the bad guy'

Nice. Interesting to note that this also works even if you allow the spectator to cut the pile (that is about to be dealt into two hands) as many times as they like prior to each deal. The reason it works is that the initial procedure simply ensures that in the starting pile there are 15 cards between the two cards (the face-up one and the selection). This is the case even after a random cut of the pile. After the first deal, there are then 7 cards between them (even after a cut of the pile) and after the next deal, there are 3 cards between them (even after a cut of the pile). After the next deal, there are four cards left, and the two cards are separated by 1 card (even after a cut of the four-card pile). Hence, after the last deal, the two cards will be together in one pile. It’s a nice progression from 15 to 7 to 3 to 1 - i.e. (n-1)/2 As a test, if you start with both cards face up, you can follow this happening.

It's a very nice baffling trick. Thank you! Because of all the dealing, I think it needs an engaging story throughout the trick. For example, In line with Matt's idea that the queen is "hunting the card," I might be inclined to embellish a bit more and say something like, "In a deck of cards, there are criminals, just like in society at large." Then maybe use a jack and introduce him as "the world famous detective, Jack Diamond." The card they select could be a "notorious criminal," hiding and "on the run in the underworld." Maybe explain, as the cards are being dealt and placed aside, that Jack tirelessly pursues every lead, narrowing down and systematically eliminating suspects, until he finally tracks down the fugitive and brings him to justice.

For the ppl that says it doesn’t work it is because when you put the cards in the pile where “The queen is hunting” you have to always start the first card on the same side. For example: if the first time you put the cards down and you start on the right you have to put on the right for all the next times. Hope this Helps❤

Thank you for sharing this trick, I've done it to myself about four times now, what a awesome trick, thanks again, take care ♣♥♠♦

Love the trick... the audience signs on to "the hunt" concept and is excited to see what follows. Another great one from Matt McGurk!

Simple and slick...fun to perform...keep the tricks coming!!

It literally worked on the first try! I just bought 2 packs of cards to practice card tricks, this is the first one i actually got! Wow! Ima binge all your videos now explaining some tricks!

Hi, totally cool magic trick ,I took notes of every step and did it 5 times and it worked every time. Looking forward for more videos, you're the best 😮thank you

Just did this trick for my kids, they absolutely love it!🤯

I enjoy your videos so much that I give likes before watching them 🎉

Between this and the earlier trick with four queens, my mind is melting. Amazing stuff.I may never look at a queen of spades in quite the same way again.Thanks for a great video.

When you put the Queen down on a pile, it's not the pile on its own (as shown in the vid) or the pile with their chosen card. It's the remaining pile. I have tried it this way. It works every time.😂

Love it...simple and amazing...the tricks with no set blow spectators away...great impromptu trick..

wow it worked the first time. I was so surprised! awesome trick!

Cool trick! 👍🙏

For anyone saying it doesn’t work, here is a likely fix. I also had it not work several times. Then I realized I was cutting the piles down, rather than across. Form two piles of 15, one above the other. Then cut each deck over, like half of each pile to their right. At first, I had two piles of 15, then cut about half the stack down. Doing this ruins the whole “two rows” aspect.

works every time!

Worked every time 😄 thanks ❤

How did you flick the card so fast to your other hand. 😮 Looks so cool

Excellent trick and presentation. I will add that to my list.

Waaaaooo. Perfect!!!👍

Wow! Great! Thanks for sharing! :)

The trick relies on the fact that for any size deck of cards n, the number of cards between two cards you want to end up in the same pile after sequentially dealing into two piles is (n / 2) - 1. So, you can try this on a deck of size 8 for example, where the number of cards between two cards you want to end up in the same deck should be 3- place one card at position 1 and another at position 5 for example.

wow just got a pack of cards and worked first time appreciate it

Excellent as usual

I try and rarely get it. If i keep doing it the same wrong card always flips. Weird

It works every time when I first did it I was so happy

It works purrrfectly

You just saw him do it. It works.

it does not work every time but it does work

Thanks! Love your accent. ❤️

Nice effect, we need more tricks like this

This trick does not work every time. I broke it down to understand why: You end up with 15-x, queen of spades, y, x, their card, 15-y (The Queen and their card is interchangeable above according to how the trick is done) If x+y is ever even during the halving process then the queen and their card end up in different decks

I love this one is great thanks i love ur tricks amazing

This card trick is simple and in another level is hard to explain how is done

I keep trying to get this trick to work but it is not always working regardless if I do the same things . I turned the both cards over to see If it's working but sometimes it doesn't go in the same pile as the key card . I must have done it over 100times and it only worked 100 % about 5 times.

Fantastic! Works like a charm!

You definitely tricked me into thinking it works 😂

Brilliant mate,thanks for sharing 👍

Is it still possible if you have unbalanced combined decks? I have an entire deck combined with only a few cards from another deck.

This is an awesome trick, wonderful tutorial 😊👊😊👊👍👏👍🥃

thx matt this tricks awsome

Good one🎉

Thank-you, Matt. With practice we can follow YOU.

It also didn’t work for me but the next day it worked so if it doesn’t work then you did something wrong.

Hmm I tried this a number of times and couldn't get it to work. Not sure why

Very cool:-)

I’ve pulled so many women using this trick on them

Great trick! Just subscribed.

It works like half the time

Wow it really works thx

No way! So, my little one (10 years old) was totally amazed at this cool restaurant with a magician. We ended up getting her a bunch of magic tricks set, and she's gonna flip when she sees this one! I may need to watch this a few times myself and see if I can trick her!

Boom 💥

It's works with 1,3,7,15 and even 31. Sadly we can't have 2 pile of 31 cards . Just running around with some math @@

do you have joker cards in the deck?

Is there a specific amount of cards the we should split up at 15

My grandkids think I’m an awesome magician. 😂

Trust me 99% of the people will not know about that recall that was given to car owners

💯

he makes 2 piles of 15 to start not 4 piles of 15. watch again

Do you keep jokers in?

OMG this was a

How can I make 4 piles of 15 = 60 when there are only 52 cards in a pack?

NOT WORKIN AT ALL

works 1 out of 3 attempts, not every time

People who don't have enough cards

Promo sm

Doesn't work every time for some reason.

Not at all working! Tried this 100 timessss

mine didnt work

It doesn’t work even once even after I rewatched the video a bunch of times.

It doesn't work. Done it like 10 times exactly with the video as instructed, it has never worked once. I don't know how anyone could make a mistake so badly that it doesn't work each time or how anyone can get it to work at all if they are doing the same process as I am. It's pretty simple instructions so I'm not really considering this any sort of magic trick. Great on video though.

it doesn't work😥

It's not working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😡

Doesnt work...5 times...no good👎👎👎

Thers only 52 cards in a deck!!!!
