What is the oldest magic trick?
The first recorded magic trick was performed by a Magician named Dedi around 2, 700 BC, known as the cups and balls trick. The images were found on pyramids in Egypt. However, some stories suggest he was a fictional Magician, and historians have debated this.

Most magicians agree that the cups and balls trick was the first magic trick ever performed.
How do magicians do card tricks?
Magicians employ psychological techniques and sleight of hand to create illusions with cards. They manipulate perception through techniques like priming and misdirection, influencing audience choices and diverting attention to create seamless illusions. Priming is a technique where suggestions are planted in the spectator’s mind, while misdirection diverts attention and manipulates perception. These techniques create an illusion of free choice and guide the audience towards the desired outcome, demonstrating their mastery of dexterity and understanding of human behavior.

Why does the 27 card trick work?
The 27 card trick is a mathematical trick that uses the ternary number system, also known as the base 3 system. The trick involves dealing cards twice, resulting in the number 17 being “bottom-bottom-middle”. The 49 card trick requires dealing cards twice, while the 10 billion card trick involves dealing 10 billion cards into 10 piles, with a billion cards in each pile. After doing this 10 times, the subject’s chosen card can be placed in any of the 10 billion positions in the deck.
The trick is based on the ternary number system, which is expressed as a three-digit number in base 3. The digits are written in backward order, with the 1s digit first, 3s digit second, and 9s digit last. In this backward base 3 notation, 17 becomes 221, as the number 17 is a three-digit number. The trick is based on the idea that the number 17 can be placed in any position in the deck.

Can 21 beat blackjack?
A player with a total of 21 on the first two cards is considered a “natural” or “blackjack”, and wins immediately unless the dealer has one. If a tie occurs, bets are returned without adjustment. A blackjack beats any hand not a blackjack, even one with a value of 21. Wins are paid out at even money, except for player blackjacks, which are traditionally paid out at 3 to 2 odds. Blackjack games often offer side bets like insurance and “Dealer Match”, which pay when the player’s cards match the dealer’s up card. After the initial two cards, the player has five options: “hit”, “stand”, “double down”, “split”, or “surrender”, each with a corresponding hand signal.

I found your website and this trick today 2/27/24. After perusal it a few times I broke out my deck and started learning it. I watched the article intently, pausing it at key places, making sure I counted and spelled correctly. It took a few times before I had all the counting/spelling and placement of the sections of the deck in their proper places. I’m now proud to announce, “I’ve got it!” Great trick! I have a function coming up on Thursday and I know this will be one of the tricks I’ll have with me. Thanks so much! Now, time for more practice.
Hello Matt. I’m 71 and just starting out “exercising my hands” learning a few card tricks. You get the honor of being the first trick to learn. It’s amazing how easy it is and the great effect at the end is with one of those WTF? AMAZING trick. I can’t wait to master it in a few… whenever. LOL. Great article. I Subbed, Liked. and don’t know anybody to share it with – sorry. Keep up the great work. Thx.
One of the best I’ve seen. It’s got a card trick, a prediction and a nice 4 card reveal to close the deal all while making the spectator feel like they did it all. No set up isn’t the right term. Maybe no pre set, because u do it after they shuffle. The deck can then still be in rotation for another no set up trick to be performed right after that one like maybe the round and round or something fun . I prefer these so I can do a few without having multiple decks of cards. Makes it seem much more magical because it’s from shuffled cards and flows better. If you’re changing decks between tricks you’re done. They know that deck is rigged in some way and the illusion is lost. It’s not magic anymore it’s just a cool card trick. Please do more of these. I want to flush out a set of nothing but card tricks that can be performed with the same deck back to back. Know it seems simple to many but I’m just now learning. I’ve got 4 down pat and have done the 5th twice now and getting more comfortable. I need some more please?? I love how you do it and explain these tricks. Some of the other websites explain like you already know a lot about magic and want you to do special cuts and shuffles. Then they go thru it so fast you still don’t get it. Pausing trying to get your cards to match theirs. No fun. I played along with your reveal and got it to work for me first time. Easy to remember too. You have a new subscriber now. Pretty please do more of this for those of us that aren’t good at pinky breaks and the myriad of positions to hold cards I’ve never heard of lol.
Hi matt, I’m really determined to learn this great mind blowing card trick. However I’ve one great idea to enhance and improve the shock value on the audience member’s mind. Rather than telling them that you’re selecting the card, tell them that the card they cut to is the predicter card which they blindly randomly selected, which in turn happen to match your random selection. So it gives them the power they did’nt know the possessed..
You don’t need to reshuffle if the first card that matches the bottom card is too close to the bottom (as long as the next one isn’t also). Let’s say you want the bottom card x from the bottom, but the first match is not more than x away from the bottom. You can just: 1) push over the bottom card 2) push the matching card and all the cards above it onto it 3) push enough more cards onto that make the matching card x from the bottom 4) put that entire pile onto the table Using this technique, there’s no longer a reason to limit the position of the second card to spelling the value of the first card because it’s extremely rare for more than 2 cards of a given value x to be within x of each other. So you can actually have them count to the value instead. This seems “more random” because a participant can intuit that a card’s name has only a few different lengths, but there are 13 different values. (Of course, you may either want to have the deck reshuffled if an A or 2 is facing, or else revert to spelling the value in those cases–1 or 2 cards isn’t enough to deal off.)
there s no set up, and they can shuffle the game. yes, but if after that you take the card in hands, you can put the cards where you wants. so finally i think it s like if there was a set up. but i have to admit that it s a very good way to do it and let the people think there isn t any one. i find easily how you do it, BUT only AFTER. i had to think before to understand it. at first, i was “wow”. well done. a very very easy trick, but with great effect, and sure that people who don t know some magic tricks won t understand it easily. thanks to share it
The problem is the count of 5. It is better to count by the first card, for example 4 = I only put down 4 cards. It is better to choose the lower cards from the left – the manipulation of the upper card from the right is eliminated. Flipping the card gives me a 4 and I count 4. It’s absolutely natural without changing decks of cards. I use this trick to unobtrusively stack cards into another trick.
Brilliant 😊. First article, first time ever seeing your website, that was very impressive! Thank you for showing it to us. Insta-sub, full noti’s. I am looking forward to binge perusal! This just happened to pop up as I opened YT and barely scrolled down, JUST when I needed it. Life is too heavy today and I was about to give up and go to bed. Not after seeing this fantastic trick, I won’t 🤣 😄🤸👍
I have been doing this trick for years, but I think I like the original method better. I start with the pile of cards upside down in my right hand and start looking thru the cards by moving the top card to the left to my other hand. This way the FIRST card on the deck (not the bottom card) is the one I will be using. In addition, there is no reversing of this card or any others – the order you set them down stays the same as you dealt them from the pile (no subtle moves). To me, it makes the “looking” for the prediction card look very natural and normal. Great performance by you however – your slight of hand is much better than mine!
A really simple and amazing effect! Personally, I like to reveal the prediction card last; the image of them finding 3 of the same cards and me having predicted it all has greater impact. Also, after dealing the cards for them to say stop, I let them handle the cards and instruct them for the rest of the trick and make a point after that I did NOT touch the cards nor influence them to say stop or cut in a specific place. Anyways, thanks for the tutorial!
The trick should be properly credited to the late Jerry Mencer. It’s his “Four Way Coincidence” trick and I have been performing his version for over 30 years. And yes, it certainly does fool many magicians. The main difference is that in the beginning of your version, you perform the effect from the face or bottom of the deck whereas Mencer’s version utilizes the top of a shuffled deck which then goes into the setup (aka as “looking for a prediction card”) I still have Mencer’s lecture notes for the effect.
I’m a support worker, and I done this with a young lad I support. However, on the final reveal, I perform a double lift to reveal a different card. I then asked him to pick up one of the cards, rub it over the top of the yet to be revealed card, and use the magic phrase “Cha sha cha”. I then show the card, and there is the final forth card 😊
I thought of a way to make this trick really creepy, but it would require you to preset your prediction card, and youd have to demonstrate to your spectator that the deck has already been shuffled instead of letting them suffle it. And itd be a three of a kind instead of a four, but if youre a decent actor my idea could make the trick pretty creepy lol
Hi Matt. Love your tutorials. I,m just starting out 4 months in and I,ve had an idea to add to this effect. After the set up and before I start counting out the cards for the first part I tell the spectator I,ve thought of a name for this trick and I,ve called it ” the impossible poker hand “. I then make a second prediction, write it down on a piece of paper and get the spectator to put it in their pocket. After the fourth card is revealed I say well thats a pretty good poker hand…4 of a kind, but I did say this trick is called ” the impossible poker hand “, after which they pull out of their pocket andread out loud ( for the purpose of your tutorial) THE NINE OF BANANAS!!! which of course doesn’t exist and makes a FIVE OF A KIND …or the impossible poker hand !!!
I remember learning a variation of this trick by Dean Dill. I believe it was called Johnny Carson’s Favorite Card Trick or something along those lines. I actually don’t remember every revelation, but tricks like this are great as you can reveal the four in a bunch of different ways. In fact, I thought this was the Dill trick except maybe he didnt use a cross cut force…
