Card tricks have been around for centuries, but only a few stand out as the best of the best. Today, we're going to reveal the secret behind the most amazing card trick in the world.
The Setup
Before we get into the trick itself, you need to set up the deck of cards properly. First, remove all the face cards (Kings, Queens, and Jacks) and the Jokers from the deck. Next, shuffle the remaining cards thoroughly and then place them face down on the table.
The Trick
Ask a volunteer to pick any seven cards from the deck and memorize them. Then, have them shuffle the seven cards while you turn away. Once they are done, ask them to place the seven cards on top of the remaining deck.
Now, reveal the top card of the deck and place it face down on the table. Ask the volunteer if their first card is higher or lower than the card you just revealed. Based on their answer, place their first card face down either to the left or right of the card you just revealed.
Repeat this process for the remaining six cards, for each card asking if it's higher or lower than the previous card in the sequence and placing it accordingly.
The Reveal
Once all seven cards have been placed, turn them face up one by one from left to right. The cards will be in perfect ascending or descending order, depending on the first card chosen by the volunteer!
The Secret
The secret behind this amazing trick is the order in which you place the seven cards on top of the deck after the volunteer has shuffled them. Beforehand, memorize the order of the remaining cards in the deck and place the seven cards in the exact same order on top.
Then, when you ask the volunteer if their card is higher or lower than the card you just revealed, you already know which card is coming up next and can place their card accordingly. By doing this for all seven cards, you can create a perfect sequence.
Practice Makes Perfect
While the setup and secret behind this trick may seem simple, it takes practice to make it flawless. Spend some time practicing with a deck of cards until you can pull off the trick seamlessly.
Conclusion
Now that you know the secret behind the best card trick in the world, it's time to wow your friends and family with your amazing skills. Remember to practice and have fun, and you'll be a master illusionist in no time!
