3 Chosen Cards Trick
Difficulty Level - Intermediate.
How the trick appears:
You reveal 3 different audience chosen cards.
How the trick works:
1. Using a full (52-card) deck, have three volunteers each select a card
without showing it to you. Tell them to memorize their card.
2. Deal one pile of 10 cards face down. Next to it deal a pile of 15 cards, then next to that deal another 15-card pile. Keep the remaining 9 cards in your hand.
3. Have the first volunteer place their card on top of the 10-card pile. Then cut as many cards as they want from the second pile, putting them on top their card.
4. Instruct the second volunteer place their card on the second pile. Then cut as many cards as they want from the third pile, and putting them on top of their card.
5. Tell the third volunteer to place their card on top of the third pile. Give him the 9 cards you're holding, and have them place these cards on top of his card.
6. Pick up the last pile, place it on the middle pile, and place both on top of the first pile. Explain to your audience that the chosen cards are now lost, but you will find them.
7. Take four cards off the top and place them on the bottom of the deck.
8. Say that you are going to flip a card up and next to it; one down. Continue repeating this until you don't have cards in your hand. Tell the spectators to say "Stop" if they see their card. (the audience won't see their card unless you mess up)
9. Push the face up pile away and deal the face down cards into two piles, one face up and one face down, starting with the face-up pile.
10. Repeat this until you have only three cards left face down.
12. Turn them over, and reveal their chosen cards. The top one is the third volunteer's card, the next is the second volunteer's card, and the bottom one is the first volunteer's card.
