Beginner Math Prediction Card Trick

Hello again everybody. Okay, here's a really cool math trick that was sent to me by Tim Clark Magic. If you guys haven't checked out Tim Clark Magic, he's got a really great channel. He reveals a lot of tricks. All of his videos are done to music, so he doesn't speak. But I recommend you go check his channel out. This is similar to some of the math tricks that I've done before, but it's pretty cool, so I want to show it to you guys. What you're going to do is you're going to tell the spectator that you want to make sure there are 52 cards in the deck before you start the trick so you're going to count to make sure there are 52 cards when you do this you're going to remember the 34th card 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 you're going to remember the 34th card is the three of diamonds but you don't want to stop you want to keep going 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 turn the cards over you're remembering that the 34th card is a three of diamonds and that's going to be your prediction but what you're going to do is you're going to tell the spectator what we're going to do is we're going to take i don't know a portion of the deck and what you want to do is you want to grab less than half the deck so 15 16 cards and spread them out and have the spectator choose any three cards they like so let's say they choose this card one this card two and this card right over here is three take the rest of the cards and place them back on top of the deck now what we're going to do is we're going to turn over these cards and we're going to have these piles add up to 10 so first card is a nine second card is a picture card a face cards are worth 10 and the third card is a six so what we're going to do is we're going to make a prediction now that we saw those three cards. And we're going to write down on a piece of paper the three of diamonds. And of course, we're not going to let them see this. After we see these three cards, we have made our prediction, and they're going to think for some reason that those three cards will let us know what the predicted card will be. We fold this up, and we can set this aside. Now what we do is we have to make each pile equal 10. so nine one that makes ten jacks queens kings and tens are worth ten so we don't have to add anything onto that pile and six seven eight nine ten okay now what we do is we add up the number values here so we have nine plus ten is 19 plus six is 25 so we count 25 cards one two three 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 and the next card is our prediction and the next card they turn over it's the three of diamonds and then we show them that our prediction was the three of diamonds try this out it works every single time it's a pretty cool math trick and you can count the cards right in front of the spectator's face and you just memorize the 34th card and follow the steps and it'll work every time so that's it thank you tim clark magic thank you guys contest number 17 will start tomorrow that's it i'll see you next time
