This is a great magic trick that uses a deck of cards, and is always a hit with the kids. Even adults will have no clue how you do this amazing trick. The cool thing is that it requires no sleight of hand or any hidden cards or anything like that. This is a self working trick, meaning that it will always work, every time. And when they figure out how it's done it will be amazing, but only if you show them.
Here's how the trick looks to your stunned observers. Take all the card of the same suit out of the deck. All the hearts or spades, or whatever your favorite is. Put them in order, from king to ace, or ace to king. If you are doing this with kids, you can even have them set the deck up for them.
Once you've got it set up, then you go through the deck once, showing them all that they are indeed in order, starting from the ace, and ending at the king. If you want, you can have them inspect the short stack of cards, to make sure it's not a trick deck or anything.
Then explain the trick to them. You have the stack face down. If they say "deal," then you take one card off the top, and place it face down on the table, in a new stack. If they say "double deal" then you take two cards off the top, reverse the order and then place them face down in the same stack. Do this until you've gone through all the cards. Tell them that they have to remember the new order that the cards are in. While they are busily trying to re calculate the order, you pick up the new stack, and begin to turn each card over one by one. They will be astounded to see that the cards are still in the same order, starting from the ace, up to the king.
Most often, they will ask you to do it again, and again. And the cool part is, since this is a self working trick, they can do it themselves and it will still work. The reason it works should be obvious once you do this a few times. If you take only one card off the top, and place it in the new stack, (deal), or take two cards, and reverse the order, placing them in the new stack (double deal) they still end up in the same order, no matter if you deal or double deal them. To see how this works, do the trick with all the cards facing up, and you'll see how it works out.
This is fantastic for kids of all ages, and many of them will never guess how it works even after they do the trick themselves. Of course, you'll occasionally run into a young logician or natural mathematician who'll see right through this trick and understand how it's down. Nevertheless, this trick is great for endless amounts of entertainment, even with adults. Have fun with this easy trick.
