If you love to do up close magic, but can’t be bothered with learning all kinds of technical sleight of hand maneuvers, then you’ve come to the right place. This a completely mathematically based self working trick, which means anybody can do it. But since it seems to be mysterious, you can play it off like you’ve got powerful psychic abilities, and impress loads of people with this simple trick. The more you talk this trick up, the better.
Here’s how the ploy appears to your soon so be mesmerized audience. You tell them that you have just uncovered some prevailing skills of psychic projection. You can position thoughts secretly in their mind. Of course, they don’t trust you, and they ask for a demonstration, to which you luckily oblige.
You pull out a regular deck of cards, and open up the cards so that only you can see the cards. You spend a significant amount of psychic energy looking at the cards, and looking at your friend. Then you put the cards back into a normal stack, and tell the person to decide on any two cards, without naming the suit. Like ace, and queen, or ten and three, for example.
Once they decide their two cards, you look through the deck, and show them that the two cards they chose are right next to each other. They will be shocked, and likely ask you to do this trick again. You go through the motions of looking at the cards, and projecting the numbers into their heads. Once again they choose two cards, and once again you show them their two cards are right next to each other in the deck.
The reason this always works is due to utter mathematical probability. Since they aren’t naming the suit of the card, and only the number, there is about a ninety percent chance that any two cards they pick will be next to each other, since when they choose two cards, their really choosing eight (two cards of four suits each). And just absolute mathematics, the chances of any two of any eight cards in a deck being next to each other is about ninety percent.
Of course, the more you chat this trick up, the better. The more you act as if to project thoughts into their mind, and go through the motions of doing laborious psychic projection the better. If you want you can make a friendly wager with them that you can accurately “project” the cards into to their head before the trick. Have fun with this.
