Use
a deck of 52
cards and shuffle them well.
Hold the deck of cards face down.
Turn over the top card and place it face up on the table.
Add
to the top of
this card as many more cards
as needed to reach 10.
Face
cards
count as 10, leave them as a pile.
Example
:
In the video, the first card is an 8.
Add 2
cards to make the total 10.
The second card in the video is a 7.
Add 3
cards to make the total 10.
Continue making stacks until all the deck is exhausted.
If there are not enough cards to complete a final stack, keep that
incomplete stack in your hand.
Choose any three
stacks that contain four
cards or more.
Turn these stacks face
down.
Randomly pick up the stacks remaining and add them to the cards (if
any) in your hand.
Ask
the participant
to turn over the top card of any two piles.
Add their values together.
In
the video the
total is 2.
Discard
that many
cards from those in your hand.
Now discard 19
more cards.
Count the
remaining
cards in your hand.
The
total
amount of cards left in your hand will be the top card of the remaining
stack.
Magic!
