The invisible deck trick

The invisible deck trick is a classic magic trick that can be performed with a regular deck of cards. The trick works by using a deck of cards that has been prepared with roughed-up backs. This allows the cards to be paired back-to-back, with each pair having a total value of 13.

To perform the trick, the magician spreads out the cards face-up, revealing a single face-down card. The magician then asks the audience member to name any card, and the magician reveals that the face-down card is the one that the audience member named.

The trick works because the magician has memorized the card relationships. The magician knows which card to nudge aside to reveal the face-down card that the audience member named.

1. Prepare the deck of cards.

2. Rough up the backs of the cards.

3. Pair the cards back-to-back, so that each pair has a total value of 13.

4. Organize the cards so that all the even cards face one way and all the odd cards face the opposite way.

5. Memorize the card relationships.

6. Spread out the cards face-up.

7. Ask the audience member to name a card.

8. Nudge aside the card that reveals the face-down card that the audience member named.
