The Paired Court Magic Card Trick

Video Transcript

" Hi everybody! Malik the magic guy for expertvillage.com. Now another cool self-working trick and this one I like because you could borrow a deck and do this from a shuffled deck of cards. What I am going to do is remove some of the cork cards from the deck; actually, all the cork cards from the deck. Let me take these out for you real quick so you can see them coming out. There is all the Jacks, Queens, Kings are going to come out of the deck and there is 2 more right there. Now I am going to separate them so that no 2 cards are the same color and value are together so I am actually going to do this to myself. This is kind of a secret of the trick here. I am going to show you in a second that these have no 2 pair of cards next to each other. So there is 12 cork cards in the deck, that makes 6 pairs of cards so there is that pair because he is different, there is 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Now if we put the cards on the top of the deck, give it a little snap and little shake, all the cork cards are going to pair up. Now the 2 red Jacks are together, the 2 red Kings, the 2 Black Jacks, the 2 Red Queens, and the 2 Black Kings. All the cork cards have paired themselves up and that is an easy, almost self working trick. I am going to show you how to do that one in just a moment. "
