trick 22

------------------------ Trick#22 Ok, for this trick, you'll have to first shuffle the deck. Then, do some fancy trick that lets you see the top card. After that, declare that for the next trick, you will cut the deck up into piles, and then predict what the top card is. Now, for the next step, whatever you do, DON'T SHUFFLE THE DECK. Why? Here's why: remember I told you to remember the top card of the deck? Well, picking up, let's say, half the deck, cut that half up, but make sure you don't put any cards over the top card that you know what it is. Now, let's say you have 7 piles of cards. Tell someone from the audience to write down the cards you read out.*Remember where you put the top card*! Pick up the top card from one of the decks (not the one you know) and say it is the 7 of diamonds (or whatever the top card was). Let's say this card was the 6 of clubs. Next, pick up another card. Say it's the 6 of clubs. It's really not, in fact, it's the 5 of hearts (supposedly). Next card you pick up, it's the 5 of hearts that you say, but you pick up the top card (you can do this longer, but it'll get boring). Give the cards to a member of the audience, and ask them if those were the cards you picked out. That's the trick. Just one thing tho, you have to practice to act naturally. If you don't, and you pause to look at the card you picked up to often, it won't look so good. ---------------------------------------------
