Self-working mirror card trick
The Self-working mirror card trick is a close-up card magic trick that leaves spectators baffled. After the spectator thoroughly shuffles and cuts a deck of cards, they divide it into two piles. Choosing one pile, they separate the cards into reds and blacks, while the magician mirrors their actions with the other pile. Miraculously, both piles end up perfectly separated by color, creating a stunning visual effect that seems impossible given the initial shuffle. This trick is based on the Gilbreth principle and requires no sleight of hand, making it accessible to magicians of all skill levels.
