Hi! This is Malik, the magic guy for expertvillage.com.
Another cool trick now that works itself,
we are going to have Mr. Hand give us a help
with this. Here are 20 cards. What I want
you to do is just split them into 2 piles.
Just deal back and forth. We could take them
off the top of the deck. We just took the
20 out to make it a little easier. Mr. Hand
is doing a great job dealing all these cards
today. Now Mr. Hand flip either pile face
up. What I want you to do is kind of take
the cards. I’m going to do it once and you
can do it the second time. We are just going
to mix the cards together, face up and face
down. You can do it again the second time.
You can shuffle them any way that you like.
He’s just kind of going to push them together.
Ooh, using a riffle shuffle which we taught
earlier. Now what I am going to do is take
10 cards in each hand. I’m going to put
them behind my back and just by putting them
behind my back; I can tell you something pretty
amazing. Just by the weight of the cards I
can tell you this pile has the same number
of face up cards as this pile. Pretty amazing,
but let’s check. There is 1 face up card,
2, 3, there’s 4 and 5 face up cards and
if you look at this pile, we will find there
is 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 face up cards; same number
of face up cards in each pile. In just a minute
I am going to teach you how to do that cool
trick.
