Este es un truco basado en matem\u00e1ticas que se explica en https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eI7o95rGT9c<\/a>Se trata de la revelaci\u00f3n de dos cartas elegidas usando comodines preestablecidos en la baraja. Me gustan los buenos trucos que funcionan solos, y este es bueno. Sin embargo, quer\u00eda poder hacerlo sin tener que usar comodines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This is what I came up with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Start by having the spectator shuffle the deck and confirm that it is an ordinary deck. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Spot the 26th card from the top by using a Faro check. Basically this is simply splitting the deck for a faro shuffle and starting the shuffle to see if you have cut the deck exactly in the middle. When you split the deck you normally would see the 26th card from the top. You can either use your right thumb to lift up and peek at the 27th card, or you can remember the 26th card and double cut one card from the bottom to the top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Spread the deck face up to show that the cards are mixed. As you do this spot the 10th card from the top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Gather up the spread and remember to two peeked at cards at the 10th and 26th positions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. I usually perform a simple false cut at this point.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Have the first spectator cut about a third of the deck and look at the bottom card of the cut off portion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Have the second spectator cut about half of the remaining cards off, look at the bottom card of that portion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Have the first spectator place their packet onto the tabled pack.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Have the second spectator replace their portion onto the tabled pack and have them square up the cards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Repeat the false cut.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. Now spread the cards face up between your hands, looking at the faces. When you see the first key card, split the deck at that point and place the lower cards (including the key card) face down on the table to the right.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  12. Continue spreading until you find the second key card and take it along with the cards you have spread and take them in your right hand, and flip them face down, and set them on the table to the left of the other tabled packet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  13. Flip the cards remaining in your left hand face down and place the cards to the table, to the left of the other two packets<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  14. Take the right packet and place it on the center packet, take the left most packet and place it on the combined right hand packet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  15. The chosen cards are now at positions 17 and 43 from the top.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    So you can present this in a couple of ways. One is to write a prediction ahead of time. Another is tell the spectators that you can read “tells”. Ask them to watch the cards as you deal them face up, and to not make any indication when they see their cards. Deal the cards one at a time stud fashion, dealing them face up. All you have to do is count down to the first card at position 17 and pause, telling the spectator that their breathing changed slightly. Continue to deal to 43 and tell the other spectator that their nostrils flared on that card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Additional thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Obviously if you are using your own deck you can have known key cards already in position and skip the spectator shuffles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When performing for a couple, another presentation is to tell the spectators that the cards can predict whether or not they will stay a couple. Do a perfect out faro and the selected cards will be together at the 19th and 20th location from the face of the deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At this point you can spread the deck face up to show the cards are “together”. Or you can cut seven cards from the top of the deck to the bottom, which moves the selects to the center of the deck. There you can split the deck in half (using a faro cut), let the one select fall onto the other as you split the deck for a riffle shuffle, then do the shuffle bringing the cards to the top for the revelation. Not only are they “together”, but they are “on top of the world.” <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

    This is a mathematical based trick that is explained at https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eI7o95rGT9c. It is the revelation of two chosen cards using Jokers that were pre-set in the deck. I like good self working tricks and this is a good one. However I wanted to be able to perform it without having to use Jokers.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_eb_attr":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[137,7,159],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6101","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-faro-shuffle","category-magic","category-self-working"],"featured_image_src":null,"featured_image_src_square":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"Bob","author_link":"https:\/\/robertjwallace.com\/es\/author\/admin\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/robertjwallace.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6101","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/robertjwallace.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/robertjwallace.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/robertjwallace.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/robertjwallace.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6101"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/robertjwallace.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6101\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6102,"href":"https:\/\/robertjwallace.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6101\/revisions\/6102"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/robertjwallace.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6101"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/robertjwallace.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6101"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/robertjwallace.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6101"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
