Read FIVE MINDS at Once - Card Tricks Revealed

I watched this man as a child...I'm almost 18 and this hits harder than my mom's belt at the time

worked perfectly. I was able to impress 5 girls at once at a house party and stole the show. thanks

This took me a while to understand so here’s my findings (though this comment is mainly to help me clarify what I’ve found): Each spectator is allocated a specific keycard (2h, 4h etc.) plus their own card in their allocated deck of 5. They shuffle their individual decks, which doesn’t matter. All that matters is that the keycard and the allocated card remain in the same group of 5 when the cards are packed together again into the deck of 25. Next, the first 5 cards (ie, the first group) are put onto the table in five separate piles - each card peeled off the top and going to a different pile than all of the cards in that top pack of 5. The trick here is that the keycard and allocated card travel to different piles and thus end up on the same level: in this case, the bottom. Then, the second group (whichever that happens to be), which contains its own keycard and allocated card, is laid out on the second level, and so on. Thus, the keycard and allocated card will always be on the same level within the final 5 decks of 5. Cutting the deck shouldn’t work because it may cause a keycard and it’s allocated card to be more than 5 cards apart, thus putting them on different levels when the new piles of 5 are made. This is a genius trick. It doesn’t matter where the keycards are in the first five decks (the don’t have to be on the bottom) and it doesn’t matter which card the spectator picks or how it’s shuffled. The information comes from the cross examination when the spectator points to which deck their card is in. You don’t even have to have particular keycards - any cards from the individual’s deck of 5 will do, so long as the group remains particular to that individual, and the keycard and allocated card are kept in the same group

Even though I can perform this I still can't figure out how does this even work

A common mistake is at 3:55 Make sure you stack the piles with one hand by putting one on top of the next and then pick them up as you go. So put 1 on top of 3 then take the 1,3 pile and put it on top of 4. Then take the 1,3,4 pile and put it on top of 2, then take the 1,3,4,2 pile and put it on top of 5. If you put pile 1 on top of 2 and then pile 3 on top of 4 you are doing it wrong. Hope this helps.

This trick RULES! Just wowed myself and an audience with it! Thanks for all your awesome tutorials!

If you're going to do the trick it helps to understand it. Here's a simple analogous example: You ask the person to choose any square from the 5th row on a chess board. You 'shuffle' the board by turning it to the right and ask: "Which row is your square in?". If he says the second then his square is 2nd row 5th column. It's the same with the cards. The first deal of cards is the regular chessboard, the second deal of cards is the turned-right chessboard. The person's giving you both coordinates without even knowing about it!

I have this done during my magic show and the crowd loved it and were very surprised. Thanks for the explanation! Magical greeting MagicRids

I ACTUALLY SAT DOWN AND TOOK NOTES , PAUSING THE VIDEO HALF A DOZEN TIMES UNTIL I MEMORIZED EACH STEP.... NOW I NEVER HAVE TO BUY MY OWN DRINK AGAIN! IT BLOWS THE MIND OF EVERY PERSON I MEET. TY 💚 Chance

definitely one of my favorites!

This is one of my favorite self working card tricks. The best part is you can get creative with revealing their chosen card.

I tryed and a fooled my self

I fumbled with this trick for an hour (not working) until I realized that you MUST give spectator 1 the pile with the 2H, then spectator 2 the pile with the 4H, and so on. So you have to remember which pile contains which key card. If you are only doing it with two people and you allow them to pick which stack they want, you have to watch them pick and if they pick the stack you know contains the 8H, the 8H becomes their key card. This fact is not made clear at all in this tutorial!

I've performed this trick many times and it's undoubtedly a mind-blower for the spectators. I use a mix of suits for the key cards (just for my own peace of mind) and I let the spectators shuffle the deck first - obviously that requires some sleight but it's easy stuff if you have some basic card handling skills. This way the trick is 100% clean. I also point out that the odds of guessing all five cards are 1 in 3125

For those of us that do not Fan well with others, a great alternative is to pick up each pile and deal the 5 cards out with each distinctively on top or below. Fanning was causing my 5 cards to fall into wrong spots thus keying me to the wrong answer I get it correct when I deal instead of fanning.

Best card trick out of every single one

This is my favourite card trick. Ever. Amazing.

I don't think it was heavily enough stressed that each spectator must take THEIR pile (spec 1 must take the pile with 2h, spec 2 must take the pile with 4h etc) otherwise this trick breaks badly. You CAN allow free choice of piles at the beginning but then you must mentally change the key card order. As they pick the piles I just chant the new order in my head ( i.e 8, 4, 10 , 2, 6... or whatever) Anyway, Im new to card magic so maybe all this was apparent to everyone else and I am just stating the obvious.

Your slight of hand in great, really like the way you handle the cards very professional. Years of experience in that card handling. Keep the vids coming man 👍🏻

For those who don't understand what to do when the spectator picks the one of the key card, if they do, when they show you that their card is on pile number 2 (to say something), if the key card of that spectator is in the same pile it means that that's the card they picked
