In the Magic Square the first 12 numbers are always in the exact same location. The deck is set so that the 12 cards will be dealt in 4 groups of three cards. The other 4 numbers are determined by the spectator's selection. He then locates the other 4 card group needed. Each 4 card group has the selected number written on the back of one of those cards. To do this trick he needs 12 cards that will always be in the grid, and then he could have another 10 groups of 4 cards making 52 cards.

Watch at 0:17 you'll see two 26's and two 22's. Although the spectator has 10 cards there are duplicates which makes it easier for magician to remember.

Actually they 10 cards in front of the spectator are not all different. Watch at 0:17 and you'll see two 26's and two 22's. There may be more duplicates. we see a 38, 42, 46, 50, 22, 22, 26, 26 and there are two more cards. I wouldn't be surprised if they are both duplicates, meaning that only 5 different possible combinations must be memorized for setting up the grid, AND only 5 cards need to have numbers written on the backs.

I have purchase this trick long time ago , and it so much easier than you think, the cards does all the work for you , super easy to do , you don't have to remember any thing , it's just self working , it took me about less than 10 minutes to practice . It works every times and it doesn't have to be the 42 number , it could be 22, or 26, or 50 or other numbers , it’s free choise , you could give the 8 cards to the spectator to have a free choise to pick any card from them . The method is just brilliant.

This trick involves a lot of math as you already know, but it also involves setting up the cards' order to make it work, specially when he turns them to form a phrase at the end. Be sure that he had a card in his pile that on its back it would have matched any single number the guy would have picked (that number 23 which back was written 42 for example). Then he studied when to start the four piles based on the chosen number (42) Now what really bugs me is how he knew what number was chosen. With no script cheats, I would guess he also made tiny hidden marks for each of the cards the guest is allowed to pick, otherwise I honestly dont know.
@far2ez10 жыл бұрын
If I had to take a guess, he knows the order of the cards offered to the other guy. The other guy chose a card, and so he re-organized his hand such that he could create 4 squares that add up to 42. Then it's simply a matter of reorganizing the 4 cards in each pile so that the rows/columns/etc also equal 42. I think the theory is simple. The real genius here is how much thinking needs to go on while also being a good actor. Really impressive.

Part of the trick is that he orders the cards in the pile so the rows/columns/diagonals thing works, and the grid itself has a well know mathematical property (I think it was discussed on singingbanana's channel). I have yet to figure out the rest of the trick :D
@Deadlychuck8411 жыл бұрын
I didn't buy the book so i don't know the specifics behind preforming this trick, but it appears that the trick is based around those cards he starts counting out at 0:55. He looks to count out 8 and then 12. Then notice how after he is done counting he asks if he is sure about his card selection, all while pulling off more cards, but then places them back on (same order) when Danny says he will stay with his selection. I use to do a lot of sudoku and i think i noticed a pattern like this once.

the solution: 0:35 - 0:45 look for secret marks at the back of the card 0:57 - 1:00 seperates the pattern cards 1:00 - 1:04 look for the key cards (consist of 4 cards) and put it below the pattern cards at 1:07 1:11 - 1:17 placed the pattern cards (first 12 cards) 1:18 - 1:19 placed the key cards which is (21)(22)(23)(24) here is how it works: there is a pattern on this trick, no need fast hand LOL you can do screenshot for the pattern and just edit the key cards. watch until 2:28. the position of the pattern cards are fixed and only the (4) key cards is the one to be change depends on the chosen number. we will change those key card into letters. 22 = A 23 = B 24 = C 21 = D now lets do the math. X = chosen number A = X-20 B = A+1 C = B+1 D = A-1 how to setup your key cards: 1. setup you pattern cards and arrange you key cards from 1 to 32. 2. let the person choose from number 22 to 50 (in this case the card has secret marks so the magician already know what number will it be) 3. subtract 21 from the chosen number and find the answer on your key cards 4. remove first your pattern card from the deck just like on 0:59 5. fake shuffle the deck while looking for your key card and stop where it is which is in this case its number 21 (42-21=21) then place the pattern card on top of it then the remaining cards on the bottom of the deck 6. then just watch how he spread the cards on the table it will always be the same number except the last 4 cards =) 1:19 . just memorize the pattern 2:29 and your ready to do magic =) edit: dont forget to write the chosen number on the back of key card (B). it is simple just add 19 =) well on this video there are only few cards to choose from so you dont have to write the possible chosen number on every key cards. btw sorry for my bad english it is not my native language.

The amazing 'grid' he made is a 4x4 'magic square' (search it up), it works for all numbers from 22-99, the numbers he revealed at the beginning of the video were: 26, 42, 22, 22 (yes there are 2 of them), 34 26, 30 and 50, which all fall in that number limit. At the end when he shows the backs of the cards have words, those are the ones needed for the 'magic square' of the eight numbers I said previously. The written number, in this case 42 is always at the bottom right corner of the grid.

Once he saw the back of the marked card he arranged the cards as he was showing them. The number 42 was written on the back of number the 23 card. There were 9 other cards in the rest of the unused cards that each had one of the other numbers written on it.
@nowandaround3128 жыл бұрын
Just because you can't figure something out doesn't mean it's not a real trick. The magician is not a plant and the choice is a free choice. He deals different cards based on the card the person chose. You can see he arranges the deck *after* the choice is made and places the cards he needs at the top of the deck in the right order, then deals and casually sets aside the rest. After you practice a trick like this enough times, it's easy to keep track of everything and rearrange them without being obvious (except to a professional magician). If the person had chosen a different card, that might have required more rearranging and he would fill that time with patter or make up some nonsense about what he was doing so the person doesn't catch on. Also, other choices may not have all those endings, where it adds up to the number in each pile, all rows, diagonally, corners, etc. We only saw the version when 42 is chosen. I'm not sure how he knows which card was chosen but I'm guessing the cards are marked (marked means there is some small insignificant difference between each card, such as a tiny dot or a barely-visible bend, that only the performer knows about so he can tell which card is which without turning them over).
