The Card Trick That Cannot Be Explained - Revealed

In this video I teach the card trick that cannot be explained. This is a very powerful card trick that happens in the spectators hands. You make an impossible prediction which turns out to be correct, even though the spectator had total control over the cards. This trick is also known as Jeopardy and has been used to fool famous celebrities such as Jimmy Fallon. The best part of all is that this is a very easy card trick, which seemingly has no explanation!
This trick uses any deck of cards and does require a quick setup. If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments below!

Stay magical,

I revealed the ace of spades by putting the last piece of paper on my dogs collar, and called him in at the last moment for the trick!

And then the spectator tells you to do it again...

For those of you having trouble, the setup can be any group of cards you wish to use; simply tailor the prediction to that group. Should be around half the deck or so. As long as the spectator gets that group and you get the rest, and you follow the procedure as given, then the setup stack will be face up at the end (assuming you turn over the spectators cards before shuffling them back into yours), The trick works because any cards that the spectator give to you (from the setup stack) get turned face up when they come over to "your side", and any cards of yours get turned face up when they go over to his side. If some of his cards on your side (which are face up) get handed back to him, they get turned over and become face down again. The shuffling and where the cards are located makes no difference. At the end, when the spectator's cards get turned over, you are facing up any of his remaining original cards (the stack), and turning face down any of your original cards. Thus all of his (the stack) will be face up at the end, and all of your original, indifferent cards will be face down. Try it with a small handful of red backed and red faced cards and a few blue backed black cards, using one color as the "stack" and the other as the indifferent cards and you'll see how it works.

Wow. That's absolutely brilliant!

If you live with someone it's not hard to plant the last piece of paper in their jeans pocket or somewhere; you just have to have a good idea of what they might wear that day. I planted the "Except Ace Spades" paper in my GF's jeans in the morning, deep in the back pocket where I knew she'd not be digging into during the day. Did the trick that evening and she almost fell over.

Man, you're truly amazing. I love how you explain and make things clear to understand and easy to reproduce. 10/10 ;)

And then, the magician does something wrong and the trick doesn't work. And then, the magician feels awkward as the spectators cringe.

great trick. I did it at a party. I was going to just fold the paper as in the video, but before I did the trick, one of my friends (Simon) left his phone on the kitchen while he visited the bathroom. I sent him a text message saying, 'except the Ace of Spades.' He didn't hear the beep as the message arrived. At the end of the trick, of course one of my other friends pointed out the Ace of Spades. In front of everyone I said to Simon, "I mentioned that you you earlier, didn't I?" Of course he said "No". I replied, "That's right, I couldn't find you, so texted you instead...can you just check your messages?" Of course, everyone was amazed when he read out the text!

I like to write there will be 25 cards. Then write there will be 15 red cards. Then write all the cards leftover will be clubs. Then when the spade is pointed out, I tell them to look in their pocket or wherever I stuck a note on them earlier. Seems to work really well. I don't know why people freak out when you plant shit on them, but they do every time.

I learned this trick from this video about a year ago, and it has become my favorite card trick to perform. Thanks, Oscar!

[nancyanderson]

I absolutely love this tutorial and trick. I keep watching it as often as I can because your presentation is beautiful!

[TrickstersTrickshots]

I thought this was going to be about Dai Vernons trick that can't be explained which is honestly one of my favorite tricks.

[Inkanation]

Dude u should do guided meditation videos, as I fully relaxed and asleep 10 seconds in

[tnlwithtrixiekat]

I am not a magician, but I am a parent of an aspiring 11 year old. These videos help me blow his mind and keep the mystery alive. then, after he thinks about it. we break it down and he starts to practice... So thank you for making this video!

[raincoast]

I write "except the ace of spades" on the bottom of ALL the blotter paper drink coasters. Then ask the person to turn over someone else's drink coaster! Wow factor complete!

[tonycullen]

Thanks so much mate. People like you are an inspiration and so generous. Giving something as brilliant as this, and not asking for anything back. Doesn't happen too often nowadays.

[drpalash]

Bro I like your videos because your explanation is very clear and you make hard tricks easy to understand.

[BricksHigher]

Looking forward to seeing the trick, but it will be Thanksgiving day. Will be with Family. Will catch it later though! :)
