Content Inside: TWENTY-ONE CARD TRICK The props: Twenty-one cards The magic: You can magically deal your friend's card right out of the deck. 1. Deal 21 cards face-down, left to right, into three equal piles. 2. Tell a friend, "Please point to one of the piles." Then pick up that pile and fan it, with the cards facing your friend. Tell your friend, "Now think about one of these cards, but don't tell me which one. Remember and keep thinking about your card." 3. Stack the piles on top of each other, and secretly make sure the one holding your friend's card is in the middle (don't make a big deal about it.) 4. Tell your friend, "Concentrate on your card," as you deal the cards face down into three piles again. 5. Now tell your friend, "Try to guess which pile your card's in." Pick up that pile and fan the cards toward them, without looking at the cards yourself. Keep checking until they find the right pile. Then stack the three piles with that pile in the middle again. 6. Deal the cards into three piles again, and tell your friend, "This time, I'll guess which pile has your card. Keep thinking about your card." Pick the middle pile (you'l be right almost half of the time), and show them the cards in that pile. It's okay if it's not in the middle pile--just keep going until you find the right pile. 7. Tell your friend, "Now, it's time to find your card." Take the pile with their card in your hand. As you say the words, "This is your card," deal one card as you say each word, with the first three face down, and the fourth card (their card) faceup.
