Mind Control Card Trick - Revealed

Hello again everybody. This is a tutorial for the trick Mind Control or Mind Freak popularized by Chris Angel and David Blaine where they flash it. They take the deck and they just flash it in front of you and they want you to remember a card and they say they can read your mind. And the way the trick is done is you take a card that you're not going to really use like a joker. You cut off the top quarter of the card and then you take a card like let's say we're We're going to try and force the King of Diamonds. We'll slide this right in front of the King of Diamonds, and now, the key is practicing the speed in which you rifle through the cards. If I go like this, you're not going to see anything. If I go like this, you're going to see the King of Diamonds and a lot of other cards. But if I go like this, that King of Diamonds, that King of Diamonds is going to stand out. And 9 out of 10 people, when you go like that, you're going to see that King of Diamonds. And that's the whole trick right there. You want the card to be a little bit further back than halfway because it gives a lasting impression if it's towards the end. You want the card to be red because red stands out more than black. And you want to really surround it with a couple of black cards in front of it, a couple of black cards behind it. And you want to be able to rifle through the cards at a speed where people can see but they can't see other cards. So that King of Diamonds is pretty much the only card you can see. That's pretty much it. Thank you. See you next time.
