A Poker Player's Picnic
|
Description: You shuffle a deck of regular cards and hand them to the spectator. The spectator cuts the deck into 4 piles. They pick up the first pile and fool with the order of the cards, then repeat this action for the other 3 piles. When you turn over the top cards of each pile, the spectator sees
that they are all aces.
Directions: 1. Before you begin, place all 4 aces on top of the deck 2. Shuffle the deck a few times, using a fake over hand shuffle or any other fake shuffle that will protect the top 4 cards. 3. Give the cards to the spectator and have him cut the deck into 4 piles (one of which contains all 4 aces). 4. In your mind label the 4 packets A, B, C, and D (D containing the 4 aces). 5. Tell the spectator to pick up packet A, take 3 cards from the top and place them on the bottom, then deal a card from the packet he is holding onto each of the other three packets (B,C,D). 6. Repeat step 5 for the other 3 packets. 7. Finally, turn over the top card of each pile and to his astonishment, each card is an ace. |
