Classic Magicians Magic | The 27 Card Trick | As Performed by ALL Magicians! Tutorial and Download

[@eyewaves...]

I figured out as you were showing without instructions, because it is basic mathematics. However, whoever thought about it - lots of respect ! Neat way to fool people to use the information they provide right in front of them, lol - that is Magic. Thank you for sharing it.

This is a beautiful effect. Your tutorial is easy follow along. 😊😊👍👍😊😊👏👏👏👏

An exception to the process if the #19 is chosen: Add the 1+9=10, then add 1+0=1 Love this effect!

[@totallymagic]

Thank you for pointing that out, I didn't think about that number!!! Cheers

Great trick I really enjoyed that my friend thumbs up on the video catch you on the next one mr. Simmons

Totally Magic, how are ya. I know this trick from many yrs ago. I remember this video. Wow.... i remember you showed the number chart too. I just got done watching mismag magic teach this trick from 6 yrs ago on KZbin. Then i clicked on your video, and its the same trick. Whew, thats scary. What a coincidence. Take care Glen

Yes the 27 card trick, like the similar 21 card trick are classic card tricks from the early 1900s, and still prove popular today. I counted numerous channels on youtube with this effect, but its such a great one I had to do it too. Great to see you back in to Magic.

You say it's a classic, and it's been around for years. And, yet, I've never seen it. Neither performed, nor even in a book or video. I like this variation of the 21 card trick. Now, that one, every kid and his brother knows it. But what I like, about this one, is that they're chosen card will be found at a chosen number. It's almost any card at any number, eh? I like it. Thanks. I'm going to study it real hard. It will be my go-to trick from now on. Thanks so much.

Es un juego fantástico que pondré en práctica con mis alumnos. Gracias por el archivo. Saludos.

I'm really familiar with this trick since I was kid. I did 9 cards, 21 cards, 27 cards & 49 cards. And the way I reveal the card is by spread the cards into columns then find the card with "sensing" ability since I know exactly the position of chosen card. But in this video I learned that we can make this trick to become Self Working A.C.A.A.N. I never thought of that. To be honest, I learned A.C.A.A.N (berglas effect) from this channel after watched A.C.A.A.N videos here. Today I met my friends, and one of them is magician as well. I showed them berglas effect and they had no idea how I did that. I used my own memorized deck instead of stacked deck (Si Stebbins, 8 King, Bart Harding etc.) because my magician friend knows me so well that I'm really good with stacked deck. He asked me "Is that the stacked deck?" even before I performed the trick, but since it wasn't stacked deck so I can spread the deck and said to him to look at the cards and make sure that the deck has no particular order. I'm really glad to be in this channel because I learned a lot of new things here. Thank you for sharing your ideas here.

Really interesting reading your comment. Like your ideas, and glad you managed to pick up a few ideas from here too. 👍👍

[@ncheckh5632]

@@totallymagic After I watched this video, I applied your Self Working A.C.A.A.N idea into my 49 cards (7 piles) trick and it works. 👍👌 I really like Card Tricks, but I lack of the way to reveal the chosen card. Sometimes I even don't know what I'm going to do with the chosen card after I forced, controlled or knew it.

This is one of my favorite impromptu tricks, and my absolute go to when someone hands me a deck of cards and says "Blow my mind with these" (BTW, that has never happened to me, but I hope one day it will). Anyway, I like your demonstration, however, it almost exactly mimics "A Million Card Tricks" explanation. I have a few modifications though for when I do get to perform this. I call it right out in the beginning that I'll do a trick with 27 cards, however, I let one spectator choose the 27 cards. I tell them they can grab the top 27, or the bottom 27, or any 27 different cards they want to. While they are getting 27 cards, I ask another spectator to select any number between 1 and 27 (I'll let them know they can also choose 1 & 27): Upon getting the number I immediately go into the mental match to figure out the packet assembly order (More on that below). Now when the 27 cards are selected, I instruct the first spectator to shuffle the packet (I'll sometimes invite the second spectator to do the same - I've never been taken up on the offer). I then begin the trick, at least in the spectators eyes, even though everything is already done. When I gather the cards, I ALWAYS grab the pile they told my their card is in. I just place the other two piles as needed. No one has ever caught on that sometimes I put a packet in the middle, or closest to my palm, or furthest from my palm. Neither spectator knows what's coming, so they aren't burning my hands like that. They're looking for weird movement, not positioning. Now for the mental math. Matt Parker has a really good tutorial on this trick, but he needs to convert the 1 less than the selected number into ternary (or base 3), which isn't exactly hard, but also not easy unless you're a math god. I use a version of the concept described in your video. I think of three positions: 1, 2, 3 (or 0). 1 is closest to palm, 2 is middle, and 3 (or 0) is furthest from palm. So my steps; 1. Divide given number by 3, and get the remainder. If 1, then put into position 1. If 2, put into position 2. If 0, put into position 3. For example, if given umber is 20, then I divide 20 by 3, which is 6 r2, so I put the packet into position 2. 2. Now, I add the two number together, and that gives my a value between 1 and 9. If value is 1,2, or 3, I know it's top third, or position 1. If 3,5, or 6, I know it's middle third or position 2. If 7,8, or 9, I know it's bottom third, or position 3 - Note that this is exactly like you describe in your video. For example 20 is 2 + 0 = 2, so I place in position 1. If position was 15, I would think 1 + 5 = 6, so position 2. 3. Now I do the same thing as step number two, only I use the full given number. 1 - 9 is position 1, 10 - 18 is position 2, and 19 - 27 is position 3 (again, exactly like your video). So 20 would go in position 3. Now, here is something I've noticed, and I am working on to take this trick to the next level. After you deal for the third time, the selected card will be one of 3 cards (you should know the row of their card, just not the column). Since you're dealing face up, when the spectator selects their pile, you'll know exactly which card they selected. You can then say the card right before you turn it over. For example, if the card position is 14, and the selected card is 9C, you can deal (face up) 13 cards, the pull the 14th card aside, and deal 15 through 27 (I do this quickly), then say "However, we have not yet seen your card the" as you grab their card to turn it over say "9 of clubs" then turn over the card. Watch their mind simply freak out. Sorry for the long comment, but this is truly one devilish trick, that every magician should know and have under their belt. Hope you like my version, and my kicker ending.

Thanks Jason, that is a fantastic variation of such a good trick. I included this on the channel just because it appears all over the internet both video and written descriptions, most of the time its mathematicians that present this trick!!!! So I thought I'd join the masses and put it up there in its original form. Thanks again for sharing your version with visitors to the channel, appreciated. 👍

[@ncheckh5632]

This kind of trick is actually using one of math method called association/group to determine the position of chosen card. But in this video, we're not just to find the chosen card but control it to desire position in really subtle manner that spectators don't even realize. I use 49 cards (7 piles of 7 cards) instead of 27 cards. 49 cards actually simpler because we only need to show piles and ask spectator which pile their is in two times instead of three times. For example, when I perform my 49 cards trick I simply ask them to think of a card. Then I remove A♠️, A♥️ & Q♥ show them and say "not these cards, because these too common". After that I ask them to pick any number between 1 & 49. After they call the number, I deal 7 piles. Depends on number they pick, I know exactly where's chosen pile should go. Example, if they pick 19 then chosen pile should be on the 5th pile from the top then go to 3rd pile from top next and it's done.

Love this trick. I use the 1,3,9 method it’s a lot easier for me. 👍😊👍

[@johnkovacs7045]

If the crib sheet is difficult to understand, the Numberphile has an easy algorithm for same. This trick is a stable.

[@andrewcowley2691]

Stable?

@@andrewcowley2691 Sorry, I meant that it can be considered a "staple" in your repertoire.

Can you explain the sequence for the #19 I know it's starts 1 bottom but then what?

[@bgdee22]

ok got it... i'm old and thick lol

[@daniloapostolov-dacatv1536]

I like trick.

[@ankitpatel5093]

If they give us lucky number 19 then 1 + 9 = 10. In this case do we have to further add 1 + 0 = 1? (for 10 and follow the digit 1 according to the table?)

[@totallymagic]

yes add 1+0
