I've been playing around with this trick and I have an important note to add; the spectator can truly pick up any amount of cards from any of the piles (top card, whole pile, somewhere in the middle, etc.), but they MUST put those cards/card onto a DIFFERENT pile. They CANNOT put the card/cards back onto the original pile or their card will end up in the left pile that we're getting rid of and the trick is ruined.
I was going to post this as well... If this does happen,.. you need to know how many cards they picked up at first and if it was 2.. it will be in second position of left pile... (I only ran through this twice before commenting , but the car was in the spot that they picked to)
Great effect! As I now perform it: When down to final 2 cards, I have spectator #1 MENTALLY tell spectator #2 what their chosen card is. Spectator #2 has choice FORCED upon him/her...great when performed for husband/wife or boyfriend/girlfriend....
I like to do the reveal by doing the thing where you pinch the cards between the spectator's knuckles and slap it so all cards that aren't theirs fall off, coolest reactions imo
Bibis Rivera when he shows the ace of hearts in the performance, the double lift is sooooo heavy anyone who knows a litlle bit about card tricks will see something is wrong
i love the way the i reacted when i saw this preformance. thank you so much for these tricks. without these tricks, i would be nothing. i love seeing people being so amazed!! thank you. Im totally subscribed and liking every vid
Man your damn cool ....how do you come up with these amazing tricks each and everytime and amaze everyone. Love u bro all the best with your next Card trick .i will be waiting
But it's still pointless to show the selection first, then go through an endless elimination process only to have the discarded card "magically " reappear. No flow, no surprises and generally just a PITA this "trick"
I would do the "smackdown ending" that you did in an other trick. You just bring the card to the bottom and then put the pile between the index finger and the middel finger and then smack
An alternate ending I thought might be more magical would be to work your way down to the last card then right before revealing it, say "Oh no...I think I made a mistake. I really feel like I placed your card in the other pile already. Then make a magic gesture and reveal that you have changed the wrong card you thought to their selected card. This will work great because they already saw you put their card in the pile. This also gives a reason to do the double lift and expose their card prematurely.
I would also include having the specs finger over the discarded pile...after all, they are thinking that that is where their card is. Great trick. Cheers
This effect will fail if the spectator puts the cut packet with the selected card on the bottom back on the pile that they cut from originally. For the rest of the effect to work, you need the selected card to be 5 from the bottom of the initial packet of 15. So when directing the spectator you need him/her to put the cut packet on one of the other two piles.
If you watch the Spectators Pack Carefully you will know how many cards they pick up and as long as you make sure you have 5 cards under their Card when you compile the 3 pack together it works all the time .. great trick i just need to get used to picking two cards up at the same time :D
it's different depending on which card they picked. if it was the top card it ends up third on left pile, if second it ends up 2nd in right pile, if third its 2nd left pile, if 4th its top of right pile, if 5th its top of left pile, so it's just best not to let them put it back on the same pile.
This is very easy trick, it can b amazing trick for beginners but not for those who r masters in tricks. Actually magician take feeteen cards five in three pile each. When he puts pile with selected card and when he puts all other cards with the third pile on the bottom of the pile in which there is spectator's selected card, the selected card will always on the 10th position. After that when v divide those cards into two piles, the selected card will always on the third position. Its very easy trick.
To all the comments saying two ace of hearts. No. Ace of Hearts was second in the packet, revealed by a double lift; he turned those two cards back over on the packet, face down in his hand, and then discarded the top one, leaving the ace on top. Then "I'm gonna give them a quick mix-up" moves the ace to the bottom, where it stays until it is revealed again.
In above trick, N = 5. In the final pile, the selected card with the 10th. You can use 3 piles of any N (say 6, 7 . . . ) and the selected card will be in the 2Nth position.
Thank you for noting - he did say “place back on any of the 3 piles.” I kept putting back on original pile and never worked, thank you for comment, allowed me realize I wasn’t going crazy
@@RandomUser-503 If it ended up in a consistent spot on the other pile that would work but it ends up in a different spot depending on how many cards they lifted. If they pick top card it ends up 3rd position left pile, if 2nd card then it's 2nd position right pile, if the third card it ends up 2nd position of left pile, if they pick the 4th card it ends up top of right pile, if they pick the bottom card it ends up top of the left pile. So you'd have to like know which card they cut to and memorize all of that. So it doesn't really work you pretty much need them to place it on one of the other two piles and it's easy enough to find ways to get them to do that, like tell them to place on one of the other two piles instead of giving them the option of putting it back on the pile they cut from.
holy shiz. in the performance thing at the beginning of the vid, I did the same thing as you did but at the end I had three cards. I decided to choose the middle one randomly and it was actually my card!! omg what is this sorcery.
Looks good at first, but then in the finale there is no logic in discarding the first card without looking at it, then turning over the next (in the double lift) to show it face up before, apparently, rejecting it followed by making further facedown rejections.
The real trick is being able to finish the performance without them getting upset cause you refuse to believe you messed up. Cause you better believe they're going to point it out.
Ikr, 99% of my friends point everything out that i do and some even grab my cards because they think ive done a double lift or a break. Quite annoying.
When this principle was first published by Ed Marlo, it was in response to another method of using the 21 Card trick...except Marlo's was even more deceptive.
There were actually 7 cards after he dealt the 2 piles...he discarded the first card leaving 6 then showed the "next" card..discarded that one leaving 5..
The way in which the card on the bottom of the cut packet of cards end up in the third position IS interesting and potentially useful. However, more and and more, I think people are getting familiar with the concept of 'magician's choice' (the method used to repeatedly force the card in this trick). Good for younger and older spectators, and you'll still fool people with it, no doubt, but I'd half-expect to be called out on it if I did it for several people. It's one of those tricks where I'd be a little insulted if someone tried it on me. It's a trick that says, "I don't think you're particularly bright." Magician's choice will always have a place, but Handle With Care.
For the overwhelming majority of people, letting them choose the deck and shuffle / cut it as much as they like eliminates any concerns they have about a force. Likewise, when you're dealing out the stacks of five, you can even have them choose the cards from anywhere in the deck. 'Here, you choose the next five' or 'you know what, everybody thinks this part is a set up so you decide whether you choose this next card or I do.' Even if they do suspect a force, ss soon as they see their card chosen as a discard, they've forgotten about the position thing. They think the trick has failed. And then when they see their card, they think there was a double. And when they run through the discard pile and their card is gone and there's no double, the trick is a success.
