Learn a simple card trick to fool your friends!

Want to impress your friends with a seemingly impossible card prediction? This tutorial unveils a clever trick that combines a simple mathematical principle with a touch of misdirection. The creator guides you through the process of setting up the trick, which involves secretly placing three identical cards (Four Aces) near the bottom of the deck. The spectator freely chooses a number between 10 and 20, and based on the sum of the digits of that number, you deal cards, ultimately revealing one of the pre-placed Aces. The key to a successful performance lies in acting as if you possess psychic abilities, building suspense and enhancing the impact of the reveal. While a small amount of setup is required, the creator assures viewers that it's quick and easy to perform, making this a fantastic addition to any magician's repertoire for a guaranteed 'wow' factor.
