Whats the name of this card trick?

Postby Karma » Jan 31st, '12, 16:12



My son knows a guy at his work who does this trick so I've tried to work out a way to reach the same effect.

all cards are dealt out over and over until only one card remains and this is the selected card.

The guy my son knows, looks through the pack and says he can't find the card before starting the dealing but I did it a bit different to that.

Anyone know if this trick has a name, I've been calling it last card.

I did a quick video of myself doing the trick so you can see it for yourself http://youtu.be/w2dEb3v_JH4

I do something similar in my SV Deck routine. Is it possible he's using a SV?

No, I don't think so. I think that when he looks through the deck he is setting things up unaware that there is a much easier way. I've not seen him do it so can't be sure.

I hadn't thought of using a SV deck though, I don't use mine much.

dealing cards over, and over again does sound boring. Thats why i suspect the 21 card trick has been suggested.
Personaly, i think that you would be much better off, doing the circus card trick instead, maybe dressing it up to look like the guys trick.

you're like Yoda.you dont say much, but what you do say is worth listening to....

Yes, it does get a bit dull. I guess it should be dressed up a bit. I do like the circus card trick though because of the twist and it can be achieved in the same way I did this one.
I got the wife with CCT once, I said I'd bet her a £5 and she said she would bet £50. come to think of it, she still owes me :lol:
