Do you want to impress your friends with a magic trick that involves numbers and cards? Look no further than the card number magic trick! This trick is easy to learn but will leave your audience amazed. Here's how to do it:
Materials Needed
To perform this trick, you will need a deck of cards and a willing participant.
Instructions
1. Ask your participant to think of a number between 1 and 10.
2. Have them multiply that number by 2.
3. Then, have them add 5 to their result.
4. Next, ask them to multiply the new number by 50.
5. Finally, have them add the number of the card they picked from the deck. For example, if they picked the 7 of Hearts, they would add 7 to their total.
Reveal the Magic
Now for the magic! Ask your participant to tell you their final number. You will then be able to determine the card they picked by subtracting 250 from their total and looking at the corresponding card in the deck. For example, if their final number was 865, you would subtract 250 to get 615. The 6 of Diamonds is the 15th card in the deck, so that would be their card.
Why It Works
The trick works because of some clever math. When you have your participant multiply their original number by 2, it is the same as adding the original number to itself. Adding 5 and multiplying by 50 is the same as multiplying by 100 and adding 250. Subtracting 250 at the end allows you to determine the card they picked based on its position in the deck.
Now that you know the secret, you can impress your friends with this amazing card number magic trick!
