Rogue: All right Heather.
Something really quick with a deck of cards.
I have here the eight and the nine.
Take the cards.
And I want you to put them anywhere you want
inside the deck.
Right there.
Right there.
Nice and fair.
Buried inside the deck, correct?
Heather: Yup.
Rogue: All right.
Please count to three for me.
[Both]: One, two, three.
Rogue: Just like that.
Within the deck.
The 8 and the 9.
Heather: That's awesome.
Rogue: Thank you.
Heather: [laughs]
Rogue: For this trick I'm going to need the
nine of spades, eight of clubs, nine of clubs,
and the eight of spades.
And the secret behind this trick is that you
never really tell them which nine and which
eight it is, so it gets a little confusing
for them at the end.
Basically what happens is you're going to
put one of the eights on the top, and one
of the nine on the bottom, and you're going
to have the other eight and the other nine
on top of the deck.
You're going to show them the eight and the
nine but you don't tell them that it's the
club and the spades.
You don't tell them that it's the eight of
clubs and the nine of spades.
So you show them really quickly so they don't
really know which one is which.
They just know it's the black eight and a
black nine.
You have them put the cards anywhere in the
center of the deck.
So now the situation is you have one of the
different eights and one of the different
nines on the top and bottom.
To do your reveal you're going to squeeze
the deck in your right hand and on the count
of three you're going to, just keep squeezing,
you're going to shoot one of the cards over.
Basically what happens is, as you keep squeezing,
it shoots out.
It looks like it comes from the middle of
the deck and that's basically a different
and a different nine, but to them, they think
they're the same card because in the beginning
you didn't really mention which nine it was
and which eight it was.
And that's the explanation for the 'Eight
and Nine' trick.
