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

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.

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

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 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

I tryed and a fooled my self

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

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

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.

Explanation of Self working Maths Card Magic p.s. This is a Clock arithmetic modulus 5 mathematics card trick 1. Distributes 5 cards EACH to 5 small decks, total 25 cards 2. Memories any card from each deck (this is the tag position card) 3. Ask the 5 spectator to choose 1 card from each stack but don't take it out and memories it 4. Ask the 5 spectator to shuffle the deck as much as they like(doesn't matter, we only interested in the 'tagged position card') 5. Ask the spectators which deck they like to pick up, any order as they wish(doesn't matter too, we only interested in the 'tagged position card') 6. Distributes 5 cards each to 5 small decks again(now each card is in their position, X position + tagged card & X position + chosen card) 7. Once again, ask the spectators the order they wish to pick up the deck, DO NOT Shuffle!(doesn't matter, 'tagged position card' is now link to their chosen card) 8. After picked up all decks in 1 pile, ask the soectators to cut the pile of deck(doesn't matter how many times they've cut, BUT ALWAYS put them together before next cut, so the cards interval/position remains 5) 9. The trick is ready to perform, all you have to do now is to distribute every 5 cards into a small deck. After all 5 decks is shown, all the Chosen card's position is linked to the Tagged card because they are on the same layer(row), same interval(5 cards) T - Tagged card (any nos) # - Chosen card (any nos) C - Club H - Heart S - Spade D - Diamond A - Aces Steps 1 & 2 & 3: Illustration of 5 decks of cards here using same suit in each deck: (same deck/column) deck 1 - [T1], C2, C3, [#1], C4 deck 2 - [T2], H2, H3, [#2], H4 deck 3 - [T3], S2, S3, [#3], S4 deck 4 - [T4], D2, D3, [#4], D4 deck 5 - [T5], HA, SA, [#5], DA Steps 4 & 5: Illustration of 5 decks of cards here after shuffled: (cards are still in same deck/column) deck 1 - C4, [T1], C3, [#1], C2 deck 2 - H3, H4, [T2], H2, [#2] deck 3 - [T3], [#3] ,S3, S2, S4 deck 4 - D2, D4, D3, [#4], [T4] deck 5 - [#5], DA, SA, [T5], HA After Step 5: Illustration of 5 decks of cards here after shuffled and picked up in any order into a pile: (example: 2->1->5->4->3, cards are still in same deck/column) |deck 2|> H3,H4,[T2],H2,[#2] >|deck 1|> C4,[T1],C3,[#1],C2 >|deck 5|> [#5],DA,SA,[T5],HA >|deck 4|> D2,D4,D3,[#4],[T4] >|deck 3|> [T3],[#3],S3,S2,S4 Step 6: (notes, here is where the magic begin) Illustration of 5 decks of cards after re-distributed: (cards are now on same row/layer/position but difference in column/deck) deck 1 - H3, C4, [#5], D2, [T3] deck 2 - H4, [T1], DA, D4, [#3] deck 3 - [T2], C3, SA, D3, S3 deck 4 - H2, [#1], [T5], [#4], S2 deck 5 - [#2], C2, HA, [T4], S4 Steps 7: Illustration of 5 decks of cards picked up in any order: (example: 3->1->2->4->5, *Important, DO NOT Shuffle!) |deck 3|> [T2],C3,SA,D3,S3 >|deck 1|> H3,C4,[#5],D2,[T3] >|deck 2|> H4,[T1],DA,D4,[#3] >|deck 4|> H2,[#1],[T5],[#4],S2 >|deck 5|> [#2],C2,HA,[T4],S4 Steps 8: Illustration of cutting the deck of cards in any position and put back into 1 stack: |deck 3|> [T2],C3,SA,D3,S3 >|deck 1|> H3,C4,[#5],D2,[T3] >|deck 2|> H4, <> [T1],DA,D4,[#3] >|deck 4|> H2,[#1],[T5],[#4],S2 >|deck 5|> [#2],C2,HA,[T4],S4 [T1],DA,D4,[#3] >|deck 4|> H2,[#1],[T5],[#4],S2 >|deck 5|> [#2],C2,HA,[T4],S4 <> >|deck 3|> [T2],C3,SA,D3,S3 >|deck 1|> H3,C4,[#5],D2,[T3] >|deck 2|> H4, Step 9: Illustration of distribute every 5 cards into a small deck: deck 1 - [T1], DA, D4, [#3], H2, deck 2 - [#1], [T5], [#4], S2, [#2], deck 3 - C2, HA, [T4], S4, [T2], deck 4 - C3, SA, D3, S3, H3, deck 5 - C4, [#5], D2, [T3], H4, *No matter how many times you cut the deck the interval will remain and the Tagged card will reveal the position of the Chosen card. * The Tagged/Key card is also the unique name card for each Spectator if the Chosen card is also the Tagged/Key card because they are binded. Example: If Spectator 1 chosen the Tagged/Key card [T1], he will point to deck 1 If Spectator 2 chosen the Tagged/Key card [T2], he will point to deck 3 If Spectator 3 chosen the Tagged/Key card [T3], he will point to deck 5 If Spectator 4 chosen the Tagged/Key card [T4], he will point to deck 3 If Spectator 5 chosen the Tagged/Key card [T5], he will point to deck 2

Watch my revised tutorial of this trick and it will clear things up for you. It works every time. https://youtu.be/2NK0QDm0JPk

You MUST get spectators to choose in order (not explained in tutorial) ie. pile 1 needs to correspond with key card 2. Pile 2 needs to correspond with key card 4. Pile 3 needs key card 6 and so on.. this is essential. In other words, you need to direct your spectators to their pile (no problem, doesn't detract from trick), this is because at the end when you're searching for their card in the pile they have chosen, you start with key card 2 for pile 1, then key card 4 for pile 2 etc. It CAN be done with spectators at the start choosing their pile randomly, example: spectator chooses first pile (with key card 6) this becomes pile 1... at the end you need to start your order from key 6 and then pile 2 corresponds to the next random key card pile they chose, and you HAVE to remember that order!! A LOT more difficult!!!! I hope this saves a lot of people getting frustrated if this trick is not working for you

Best card trick out of every single one

I want to see someone who knows the math behind this trick! This is awesome!

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

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
