CARD TRICK

ASK A PERSON TO TAKE A CARD OUT OF THE DECK. MAKE
SURE THE ENTIRE DECK IS IN THE SAME ORDER, I.E.,
IF THE CARDS HAVE A PICTURE ON THEM, MAKE SURE THEY
ARE ALL IN THE SAME DIRECTION. WHEN THE PERSON
PUTS THE CARD IN THE DECK, MAKE SURE IT GOES IN
UPSIDE DOWN. START LAYING THE CARDS OUT, LAYING
OUT THE PERSON'S CARD. THE CARD ALREADY BEING OUT,
THE CARD TRICKER SAYS THAT THE NEXT CARD HE WILL
TURN OVER WILL BE THE PERSON'S CARD. SINCE THE
CARD IS ALREADY OUT, THE PERSON KNOWS THAT IT'S
IMPOSSIBLE. BUT SURE ENOUGH, IT'S NOT REALLY THE
NEXT CARD IN THE DECK THE TRICKER TURNS OVER BUT
THE PERSON'S CHOSEN CARD.

Submitter comment: I SAW THIS TRICK PLAYED WHERE THE FELLOW ACTUALLY
BET THAT THE NEXT CARD THE TRICKER TURNED OVER
WOULD NOT BE HIS. OF COURSE, THE FELLOW LOST HIS
BET FOR THE TRICKER DID TURN OVER THE FELLOW'S
CARD. I LEARNED IT IN DETROIT.
