This is a very old, classic card trick that uses 2 card decks to play. It is a fun game to play in the office, at school or you can do it as a bar bet. The following steps will show you how to perform the Do as I Do card magic trick.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Deck of cards
  1. Step 1

    Set 2 decks side by side face down on the table.

  2. Step 2

    Ask your friend to choose a deck of cards and shuffle it. At the same time you will pick up the other deck and shuffle it.

  3. Step 3

    Notice the card on the bottom of your deck and take note of it. Do this subtly, as to not draw attention to what you are doing.

  4. Step 4

    Trade decks with your friend. Ask your friend to pick a card out of the deck, look at it without telling you and put it on top of the deck face down. You do the same with your deck of cards.

  5. Step 5

    Tell your friend to cut the deck as you do the same thing. When he does this, he cuts the deck in half, and then lays the top portion onto the top of the deck. This puts that bottom card that you took note of earlier on top of the card your friend has chosen.

  6. Step 6

    Trade decks with your friend again and tell him to go through the deck and choose the card that he chose in the other deck and tell him that you are going to do the same. Instead of looking for the card you chose, look for that bottom key card. When you find it, the card directly after it in the deck will be the card your friend chose.

  7. Step 7

    Pull out this card as your friend pulls out the same exact card from his deck. Lay them down side by side to reveal that you both have chosen the same card.
