The Card Trick Reveal NOBODY Sees Coming (IMPOSSIBLE)

Added: 2026-05-09

[00:00:00]You're about to learn one of the most mathematically impossible looking car tricks I've ever found. It works every single time the spectator does everything and the final reveal, they don't see it coming. It is genius, right? Let me show you what it looks like. So, cards are mixed up like this.

[00:00:16]They're given a really good mix and then you can get the spectator to just go in the deck and choose any three cards that they want. So, they can literally just choose whatever they whatever they want.

[00:00:26]and they go in and they choose three cards. And if they want to change one, they can swap it out for another one. It doesn't matter. And then also you ask them to put these cards into any order that they'd like. So say they do that.

[00:00:38]You say, "Uh, have you got a lucky number to relevant?" You explain that your lucky number is 16. So what you're going to instruct them to do is to add cards to the value of these cards to total 16. So let me show you what I mean. Uh, so the first card is 10, right? So, what you would ask the spectator to do is to take 10 and count up to 16 adding cards from the deck. So, that would be 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. And then they would put the 10 on top of these and put the rest of the cards on top. So, then you give the card to spectator and they follow along with your instructions. So, queen, by the way, jacks are 11, queens are 12, and kings are 13. So, if they do the queen next, that would be 12, 13, 14, 15, 16.

[00:01:22]They put the queen there. Put the rest of the cards on top. And then finally, they've got five. So five, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. They put that on, and they put the rest of the cards on top. So now they've lost these cards in the deck based on three random cards that they chose completely at random. And they put these cards in any order that they want. But now you take the card above each of the face up cards, like so. And let's see what we have here. So alongside the five we have a king. That's a high value card. That's pretty good. Along the queen, alongside the queen, we have the second king. Coincidence? Maybe. Let's have a look at the third one. That is the third king. Three kings. That is absolutely insane. But I'm a perfectionist. And here's the bit that is going to blow your mind. Now remember, the spectator could have chose any three cards, right? For the first time. And now we're going to add the values of these cards together. So we have 10. Remember queen's 12. So that would be 22 + 5 would be 27. You give the cards to spectator and you ask them to deal down 27 cards. That's 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27. Remember, they could have chose any three cards. When they count down the total, they always end up with the fourth and final king.

[00:02:53]That is an absolutely insane mathematical card trick. I think you're going to love it. Let's get into it.

[00:03:03]As always, guys, if you love this trick, don't forget to give that like button a little tickle cuz it likes it. It's a bit cheeky like that. And also, if you want to learn tricks like this every single week, don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss anything. Now, the great thing about this trick is that it is completely and utterly relying on mathematics. So, the mathematics does all of the heavy lifting in this trick.

[00:03:22]But if you'd like a trick to follow this and you want to take your magic to the next level, then I've put together a free guide which teaches you one of the most essential slicer pan techniques, plus an absolutely supercharged prolevel routine that goes with it. I've put that in a free guide and I've pinned that in the pin comment down below. So, make sure you check that out after learning this one. But right now, we're going to get into the setup of this trick.

[00:03:49]So, there are two ways to do this trick, guys. There is the way where we set the cards up. It's a simple setup. And there's the way to do it from a shuffle deck. Now, before we go any further, it's important that you realize you need a 52 card deck for this. So, a full deck of cards. Don't try it with anything less than 52 cards. Otherwise, it won't work. And I learned that the hard way.

[00:04:08]So, the first way to do this is with a setup. It's super easy. You're going to put two kings on the bottom of the deck and two kings on the top. All right? And that's your setup. That's how you begin.

[00:04:18]Now, you can get into this from a shuffle deck. And that's the way that I do it. So, if you get the card shuffled by a spectator, when you get them back, you would simply go through the deck like this and remove the jokers. And as you do that, you'd use the underspread cull to cull the kings into position.

[00:04:33]Uh, two on top, two on bottom. Now, if you don't know the under spread, I'm actually teaching that in my vault subscription. If you want to learn that, I'll put that in the pin comment as well. But let's assume you're going to start from the setup position. Two on top, two on bottom. And we're going to get into the next part, which is a cheeky little shuffle.

[00:04:53]Okay. So, because we're working with the setup, we need to shuffle a deck just to um show that we are being honest. Wink wink. So, we're going to give the cards a little shuffle like this. Now, all I'm doing here, guys, is I'm retaining my kings in position. And the way that I do that is I start a riffle shuffle by just shuffling about half the cards into this hand. I'm going to start, remember, I've got my two kings here. I'm going to start the shuffle by dropping at least two cards off with my left thumb. And I'm going to shuffle faster with my left thumb, meaning I've got this bank of cards here, which drop last. They're your top two kings. You bridge, and your kings are still in position. All right.

[00:05:26]So, now we're going to get the spectator to pick three cards. spread the cards out like so. And they can reach in and choose any three cards like this. Now, if they're not happy with a card, say for example, they've chose two of the same value. I'd encourage them to say, "And you can change them out. If you want to change a card, that's fine. I don't care. It's your life. You can do whatever you want." Wow. What the heck?

[00:05:46]They can literally change these cards as many times as they want. It doesn't really matter until you've got a really good selection of cards. Let's go with that. And then you ask them to put the the cards into an order. All right? So you make make this sound like it's really important, but actually these cards can be in any order that they want. You explain that what you're going to do now is you're going to use your lucky number. Your lucky number is 16.

[00:06:07]We're going to add cards to the value of these to total 16. Jacks are 11, queens 12, and kings 13. And you explain, I'm going to show you what I mean. Now, we're going to use a very, very simple slight of hand technique here. And we're going to cover that next.

[00:06:24]All right. So, don't run off. The only thing we're going to do is a finger break. And it's super easy. So, you're going to ask the spectator to give you the three cards. Now, when they're giving you the three cards, that's great misdirection for you to just push the top card over with your thumb, pull it back, and get a little finger break below that top card. Okay? That's all I'm doing. You can't see this from the front. So, now when they give you the cards, you're going to put them face up on top of the deck like so. You've now got a break above the top four cards, your three face up cards, and your one that's face down. You're going to pick all of those off minus. So you explain that you're going to add cards from the deck to each of these cards to total the value of 16. As an example, you say, we start with ace. Ace is one, right? So ace. So you'd start 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16. All right. Now you put these back on top of the deck like so. Okay. And then you move these to the center position. and you say, and then you would put your next card here, like so, and you drop the rest of the cards on top. So, that's the only little cheeky move that you need to do. You're simply showing the spectator what to do.

[00:07:30]And now you instruct them to do the same. So, you take these two face up cards off like so. You you say start with the next card, and you can change the order at this point if you want, but let's say it's four. So, they would count five, six, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. You ask them to put this card here and the rest of the cards on top. So it's important here that you be very clear with your instructions so they do it correctly. So and the final one is 10. So that's 10 11 12 13 14 15 16.

[00:08:01]That card goes on top. These go on top like so. And now we are all set up for the reveal.

[00:08:10]All right guys, so we're going to reveal the cards. So all you want to do is to spread the cards out like this in a little ribbon spread. and you explain that they could have chose any three cards and put them in any order and because of the values the these are now in a completely random position. That's rubbish, but it sounds like it makes sense. So now you just take each face up card with a card above it like this. So the four's down here. We're going to take that as well like so. And then the ace over here like so. You're going to take that. So don't change the order of the cards. Just gather them up here because your last king has been set. Now mathematically it uh it blows my mind how this works. So now you can reveal each of these cards like this. Turn this over one at a time. I like to cover this to to cover the random cards and show the kings like so. You've got these three kings. You got this cliffhanger moment of what about the fourth, right?

[00:08:56]And then you very very slowly reveal these cards like so. So what would happen if we add these values? 10 + 4 is 14 + 1 is 15. Give the spectator the deck. Have them count down the cards. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15. Oh, 15. And that's the final king is absolutely stunning trick. Guys, don't forget like and subscribe. Uh if you want the free um slight of hand training that I do, don't forget that's in the pin comment down below. And as I said before, I do this with an underspread color from a shuffle deck. If you want to learn that, it's a brilliant slight.

[00:09:31]We're doing that in the vault membership next month. That's also in the pin comment. Thank you so much, guys. I will see you soon in the next
