This is a great magic trick that uses a deck of cards, and is always a hit with the kids. Even adults will have no clue how you do this amazing trick. The cool thing is that it requires no sleight of hand or any hidden cards or anything like that. This is a self working trick, meaning that it will always work, every time. And when they figure out how it's done it will be amazing, but only if you show them.
Here's how the ploy appears to your amazed observers. You have all the cards of the equivalent suit taken out of the deck. So you've got all the hearts, or clubs, or whatever. Have them arranged in order, beginning from the ace, and ending with the king. If you are doing this with kids, you can even have them set the deck up for them.
Once you've got it set up, then you go through the deck once, showing them all that they are definitely in order, beginning from the ace, and ending at the king. If you like you can provide them the short stack and have them ensure for themselves to make sure there is nothing odd going on.
Then elucidate the trick to them. You have the stack face down. If they say "deal," then you take one card off the top, and place it face down on the desk, in a new stack. If they say "double deal" then you take two cards off the top, reverse the order and then place them face down in the same stack. Do this until you've gone through all the cards. Tell them that they have to keep in mind the new order that the cards are in. While they are busily trying to re compute the order, you pick up the new stack, and begin to turn each card over one by one. They will be startled to see that the cards are still in the same order, beginning from the ace, up to the king.
Most often, they will ask you to do it again, and again. And the cool part is, since this is a self working trick, they can do it themselves and it will still work. The reason it works should be understandable once you do this a few times. If you take only one card off the top, and place it in the new stack, (deal), or take two cards, and reverse the order, placing them in the new stack (double deal) they still end up in the same order, no matter if you deal or double deal them. To observe how this works, do the trick with all the cards facing up, and you'll see how it works out.
This is amazing for kids of all ages, and a lot of of them will never deduce how it works even after they do the trick themselves. Of course, you'll intermittently run into a young academic or natural mathematician who'll see right through this trick and know how it's down. Even so, this trick is breathtaking for endless amounts of entertainment, even with grownups. Have fun with this simple trick.
