you got to do is study memory books for
14 to 20 years and I hear his up trick
works up all you need is if I scared you
there for a second right so all you need
to do for this is you need a deck of
cards any deck of cards will do you ask
your spectator to shuffle the deck as
they shuffle the deck just like so the
only car you care about is this top card
right here on the top of the deck I’m
gonna look at it by going like this you
see that and then letting all the other
cards go on top of it and pretending
like I’m memorizing like like this you
see this is it no no raising face okay
so yeah good yeah okay

spades on top I don’t tell them this

the cards myself as I ask for help so I
say look go ahead Julia help me spread
the card now I’m keeping my thumb on
this eight of space – ha ha ha ha all

doing is I’m not visually keeping track

called the one ahead principle look I
want you to point to any card I’ll tell
you what it is go ahead now oh that’s

gonna look at it
ah I see it’s the three of hearts I
don’t show them this where I say oh

point to any other one that one’s B
three of Hearts and as I take it I’m
looking at it I see it’s the six of
clubs now I say it’s my turn cuz I got
to get this one in here so I saw just
all the six of clubs and I say and this
one that’s the six of clubs and I take
it as I take them I just give them a
little shuffle a little shuffle like
this and then I ask the person to
reiterate what cards we pick so they’re
