Imagine being able to pull the card they\u2019ve chosen straight from the middle of the deck, detect a subtle difference in the weight of the ink on the paper, or match cards flawlessly without looking at their colour. This unique display is sure to delight every spectator.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Preparing the trick<\/h2>\n<p>Before each trick, make sure that all the cards in the deck are facing the same way.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Performance<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Arrange the cards as described in the \u2018Preparing the trick\u2019 section. Hand the deck to a spectator to shuffle, then take it back.<\/li>\n<li>As you take the cards, say: \u2018More ink is used to print face cards, which is why they are slightly heavier than number cards. Don\u2019t believe me? Let\u2019s find out together!<\/li>\n<li>Holding the cards in your left hand face down, pick up the top card with your right hand without turning it over. Pretend to assess its weight, whilst secretly reading the code on the back of the card.<\/li>\n<li>If it is a face card, say: \u201cIt\u2019s heavy, so it must be a face card.\u201d Then place it on the left-hand side of the table. If it is a number card, say: \u201cThis one is light, so it must be a number card.\u201d Place it on the right-hand side of the table.<\/li>\n<li>Repeat these steps until the entire deck has been divided into two piles, then say: \u201cIt seems you still don\u2019t believe me. See for yourselves!\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Turn both piles of cards over. Everyone will see that the left pile contains only face cards, and the right pile contains only number cards. The magic works!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before you watch this video, have a look at the instructions or read the description below \u2014 that\u2019s where you\u2019ll find the secrets that will help you master the trick.
