The sound of the cards being shuffled and dealt is perfect ASMR material
can you hold your camera steady??? It ruins everything
Beginning of every card trick:
Magician: "Just a bunch of cards" or "Please confirm this is an ordinary deck of cards"
Audience: WHOOOAAAA
U could force that card would be so much easier
This has been my go-to card trick since I was a kid. I've never thought about the math behind it but it makes sense.
Wow this is the worst acting i saw
I picked the same card. Wack
the magic is gone… 🙁
the end is a trick for a 2 year old
This is like encryption of data.
Completely amazing
This skipped over selecting the piles of three and how to guarantee the right one is chosen. 🤨
WHAT IF THE GUY CHOOSES THE PILE IN WHICH THE CARD IS. I THINK THE END IS ALL LUCK
so this is what professors do during office hours
i didn't get the last step. 😑
This is the first card trick that i learnt , and this inspired me to be a magician
hi very well performed iam ace card magician from uk
I do this trick but with a twist – I make the card rise out of the deck.
Matt parker already did this one a few years ago.
This is the trick my dad taught me when I was a kid. It's not a trick actually it's Math 😁
What if the spectator picks the pile (to be removed) with their card number?
Looking for a card trick I learned in jail. Cut deck in half pick card stick it in middle. Flip over a card and if it’s an 8 put down 2 cards again if it’s a 3 put down 7 and again if it’s a 5 put down five. As up cards and that’s card that was picked in beginning. Idk how it works. I did it for years but can’t do it any more and don’t exactly remember how it was done but it blew my mind even when I did trick my self
Very poor explanation for this.
Give written formula in form of mathematical equations.
idk how nobody asked this, but at the very end when you had them pick their card out of the last three, how did you make sure it was their card? i know it’s a one in three chance but still
Take a sec to appreciate that shuffle sound
This is the first card trick I ever learned, back in tenth grade.
its working with 33 cards and 17s selected card
Given that each location – left/centre/right – defines a ternary number 0/1/2 – and that there are three deals each yielding a ternary number – presumably the trick still works if, instead of dealing 21 cards, 3^3=27 are dealt.
What if he chooses the group that has that card?
Sweet!
My mom's prison boyfriend showed me this when I was 10 years old I thought it was so cool.
First card trick I learned, but never really felt it was a "proper" trick since it was just maths.
🙂
Please translate in Hindi 👍

2:55, what is this 4 of hearts of diamonds at the top/right?!
The first trick I ever learned. Learned it from a Mexican in Cabo when I was like 11. it blows people's minds if you do it right. I've always wondered what the math is behind it, thanks for making this video!
My dad used to do this trick for me 30+ years ago when I was a kid
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
but why is it always the 11th card
Nice. Nice trick.
Can u do the 51 card trick
I've know this trick about 40 years, you can change the ending to suit the effect if you like;
11
Nice smile!
It worked 🎉
51 cards is amazing than 21😊
I learned it a much different way
Completely overcomplicating a very very easy trick to do, so very hard to understand
