Description: Three Spectators Pick A Card, And Insert Them Back Into The Deck. You
Deal The Cards, And The Last 3 Cards Dealt Will Be Theirs.
Directions: 1. Using a 52-card deck, have three people each select a card, and without showing it to you memorize it. 2. Deal one pile of 10 cards face down. Next to it deal a pile of 15 cards, and next to that deal another 15-card pile. Keep the remaining 9 cards in your hand. 3. Have the first person put his their card on top of the 10-card pile, cut as many cards as they want from the second pile, and put them on their card. 4. Have the second person put their card on the second pile, cut as many cards as they want from the third pile, and put them on top of their card. 5. Have the third person put their card on top of the third pile, hand them the 9 cards you're holding, and have them place them on top of their card. 6. Pick up the last pile, put it on the middle pile, and put both on the first pile. Make clear that the cards are now lost and you will find them. 7. Take four cards off the top and place them on the bottom of the deck. Explain that you are going to deal one card face up then one face down and repeat this until you have used all the cards in your hand. Tell the spectators to say stop if they see their card (they won't). 8. Deal the cards alternately into two piles, one face up and one face down, starting with the face-up pile. When all the cards have been dealt, push the face-up pile aside and pick up the other pile. 9. Deal it into two piles in exactly the same way. Keep repeating this until you have only three cards left face down. Turn them over, the top one is the third person's card, the next is the second person's card, and the bottom one is the first person's card. |
