FOOL Everyone With The World's Oldest Card Trick

This video is a tutorial showcasing a modern and highly deceptive take on the classic 21-card trick. Peter Turner has revitalized a traditional method, presenting it in a way that's far more engaging and fooling than the original. The trick is remarkably easy to learn, potentially in just five minutes, and boasts a strong effect due to its clever use of key cards and misdirection. The core principle involves subtly arranging the deck to create key cards, allowing for a prediction of a card dealt by the spectator. Turner emphasizes the routine's flexibility, suggesting variations in the number of cards dealt and even allowing the spectator to reshuffle the packets to enhance the illusion of randomness. A particularly impressive element is the inclusion of a pre-written prediction, made before any card interaction, which adds a layer of mystery and astonishment. Overall, Turner believes this revised version is a simple yet incredibly effective trick that magicians can perform repeatedly to great effect.
