this trick will blow everyone's mind and you don't even have to be there to do it
hey guys it's jason latimer the world champion of magic coming to you with another impossible
science with mathematics with deck of cards now this card trick all you have to do is remember
the steps and it will make it look like you have a superpower that could find any card
anytime but i do suggest you grab a deck of cards to follow along because if you just watch my side
of it it won't be as impressive because it will work with any card check it out all you need is
deck of cards and out of this deck you only need nine playing cards so just count out nine cards
one two three four five six seven eight nine great take the rest of the pile get rid of it
we don't need it now take those nine playing cards square them up and flip them over face up so now
we can see the numbers on them and when you fan them out you're going to look for the third card
from the bottom of the fan or what is also the third card from the top of the pile if they are
flipped over i know it gets a little tricky with that so let me show you on my side it's the 9 of
hearts one two three okay that's also the third card from the top because if i flip my hand over
one two three that's the nine of hearts now look at that card memorize that card but do not pull
that card out just keep it in the third position now close the fan and here comes the magic part
all you have to do is remember your card now your card could be a completely different card
it does not have to be the nine of hearts it will work for any card which is why this is so amazing
now all you have to do is spell your card now my card was nine so i'm going to spell out the word
nine if you had an ace you would spell a c e if you had a two you'd spell two same with the jack
queen or king you spell out the value of the guard so we're going to spell nine on my side n i
n e one card on top of each other and when you're done spelling that card out take the rest of the
pile and place it directly on top of those cards in the table now pick all of them up together now
we're gonna spell the middle word which is the same for everybody so it's nine of so we're going
to spell of o f one card on top of another and then take the rest of the pile place it on top
pick them all up now you spell the suit so if yours was the clubs you would spell c-l-u-b-s
mine is the hearts so i'm gonna spell hearts here we go h e a r t s take the rest of the cards
place it on top now you could have had a different car than mine you could have had the two of clubs
or the three of diamonds which would be far more letters than anything i picked but if we spell
the word magic right now and you spell the word magic on your side if you flip over the letter c
in the word magic that will be your card check it out m a g i c
and it works for every single card so as long as you remember nine playing cards look at the third
one in those cards and then spell out the name of the card you're looking for you'll find the
card just remember value first then the word of then the suit and every time you finish a word
you take the rest of the cards and drop it on top now this is a beautiful mathematical effect
created by a friend of mine named jim steinmeier who is brilliant at designing magic tricks and if
you want to learn more about jim steinmeier i'm putting a link down below of this effect and his
impulsement series because if you want to learn more mathematical effects that will blow your mind
jim is a genius at it now so how does it work well the best way i can tell you how this works
is to observe it through the scientific method first you make an observation of what something
you want to learn about you ask a question make a hypothesis you test that hypothesis
and then you come to a conclusion and if you get it right you share it with others
now why is that important well because the math is always the same
there's got to be a reason why my card can be different than your card and yet we still find
it on the letter c in the word magic so make a theory and test it out on your side of the
screen and if you get it right let me know that you found math in the comments below and if you
didn't if you just say i don't want to know how this trick works just type in the word magic in
the comments below and if you had fun just seeing the impossible become possible through science
