Thank you for this! I am a special education teacher at an elementary school, and I used this in my class last week to have a fun way to have my students practice addition. I’ve used a couple of other tricks of yours as well, as many of the ones you show line up perfectly with using in a math class. The kids love it, and they are learning and practicing skills in a different and super fun way. Thank you so much!

This trick can also be performed with the piles equaling 12 instead of 13. Additionally, if you count the J, Q and K as ten then you don’t have to get rid of any cards. And 4 piles are picked instead of 3. This way the total number of discarded cards equals the total of the top cards from the 4 piles.

The most satisfying moment is when MLT puts down the cards on the table that sound of putting cards is really satisfying

So this is one of the better tricks you've done in awhile. I like how it's not a pick a card trick, which is often boring to the spectator because that's what they always expect. The problem with this trick is that it seems like either a self-worker (because it is) or a memorization trick (because you cut away the 10 cards - they think you forced the ending). So I modified it to make it seem a little bit more magical, however, it works the exact same way.


You do the same basic setup. Have the spectator shuffle the cards to their hearts content. Ask them to cut the cards or do whatever they feel like doing to ensure that their is no setup. Then deal the packets to get to 13 as described. I like to have them turn over the packet before I move on to the next packet, this just adds a little time misdirection because they might catch on that all you did at the end was flip over the bottom card of the packet. Anyway, once you deal all the packets, if I have a discard I put that away on the table, and ask them to rearrange the packets monty style. This way the spectator doesn't suspect I was keeping track of the value of the bottom card. After they've rearranged the packets I ask them to scoot out the 3 packets they'd like to use, and then I collect the other packets. You could have the spectator do this as well.


So, now is where the magic occurs. I ask the spectator if they think there is more than half the deck in the discard pile. I remind them that there are 52 cards in the deck so 26 cards would be half. That justifies my counting of the discard pile. When I reach 10, I create a little pinky break. Since the counting is creating a little bit of a mess, this covers the break nicely. Once I get to 26 I don't need to count anymore (it's ok if there is less than 26 too) since I state that "yes, you've eliminated more than half the deck" and square of the discard pile keeping the pinky break. I then perform a ruffle force, but I'm not forcing the card, but instead forcing the packet of 10. When they say stop, I simply confirm that they want to stop there, and lift up at the break and hand them the rest of the cards.


Now I ask the spectator to count the cards in their hand. I usually count with them, and watch to make sure they don't fumble the cards. After I know the number, I flip over the top card of the first packet. I then flip over the top card of the second packet, and add them together. I double check with the spectator how many cards they have in their pile, and then do the math in my head about what value the remaining card will be. I say some magical thing like "Would you be amazed if the next card is [state needed value here]"? After turning the card over I bask in the glory.


This puts a bunch of the magic in their hands, and allows for you to remind them that "THEY" not the magician randomly selected the number of cards that they counted (even though they didn't). Try it out. I'm sure you'll agree that this ups the reaction. It won't fool P&T but it's good for a party trick, bar trick, or ice breaker.

I'm so glad I found this - my dad used to do a variant of this trick - and now I can recreate my dad's version to teach to my daughter! I think my dad started by saying "I'm going to add 10 at the end." And then had you make four piles, and then pick one to not use... And he would add up the 3 card points and just add 10, "Remember how I said I would add ten?"

I figured out the math
Let there be 3 card values a, b, c
Therefore total cards apart from discards will be
13-a+ 13-b +13-c +3
=42-a-b-c
Cards left
= 52- (42-a-b-c)
= 10 +a+b+c
Taking out 10 cards
Cards left in discard =
a+b+c ( as the first card is turned over)
Enjoy !
