trick 13

Trick#13 This trick requires no preparation, no fancy moves, and should only ever be shown once to a group. Fan out the whole deck of 52 cards with the backs to your audience. Tell you chosen but unknowing accomlice that it is in fact he or she that is magical and that he/she is going to tell you the colour particular cards that he/she hasn't seen. Place 2 cards down face up on the table as the 1st cards in 2 piles. One is red, the other black. Select a card from the pack and place it on the table without showing it's colour to the auydience or your assistant. Ask your assistant which colour he thinks it is and place it on the pile (still face down) he suggests. Repeat this for about 10 cards but make sure you keep choosing the same colour as your 1st card. After 10 pull out 2 more cards of differtn colours and place them face up on the pile of the opposite colour. Tell your assistant that you want to change the colour of each pile. Continue selecting cards from the deck as before only this time choose cards of the opposit colour you were choosing before. Do this for another 10 or so and put the rest of the deck down. Ask your assistant how confident he is and flip over the pile of cards where the marker cards actually match the other cards you have put down on top of them. While your assistant look amazedly ad his great work deftly pull the marker card in the middle of the other pile and flip over the other pile. Throw the marker card on top and flip over the remaining marker card and deftly flick it of the pile. This will give the illusions that as with the other pile your assistant has succesfully predicted the colour of over 20 cards. Give it a go....no practice neccessary. ---------------------------------------------------
