Here's a little breakdown of the math tutorial! Hope you all understand :) Firstly, have them name any number between 1-27. (If they choose a single digit number, then steps 1, 4, and 5 can be skipped) Step 1: Add the digits of the two digit number together to create a single digit number. (Example: 17 = 1+7 = 8.) Step 2: Determine whether that single digit number is the bottom, middle, or top number within its 3 number category. (Example: 8 is the *middle* number out of 7, *8*, 9) Step 3: Determine which larger category does it fall into, either the bottom (1, 2, 3), the middle (4, 5, 6), or the top (7, 8, 9). (Example: 8 is inside of the *top* category of 7, 8, 9) Step 4: Forget the single digit number, and recall the original chosen number (Example: 17) Step 5: Determine which overall category their *originally chosen number* falls into. Either the bottom (1-9), the middle (10-18), or the top (19-27). (Example: 17 falls within the *middle category* because it is between 10-18) Step 6: Put your code together starting from step 2, (Example: 17 = Middle, Top, Middle) Step 7: When dealing the cards into three face-up piles, the spectator notes which pile their card is inside of. The code is the location in which you must stack the pile with their card during the 3 rounds of dealing/stacking. Remember, the locations of bottom middle and top are referring to when the cards are *face-up*, so don't get confused. If the trick doesn't work for you, you most likely mixed up the "top" and "bottom" directions, so just be careful with that!! (Example: 1st round = Middle, 2nd round = Top, 3rd round = Middle). Side-note: If they choose a single digit number, then there is no need to add the digits considering there is only one digit, you simply just use the number they named. Steps 4 and 5 can also be skipped, because if they choose a single digit number, you can have a code shortcut. The 3rd part of the code will always be *bottom* if they choose a single digit number, because it falls between 1-9!
I would like to tell the spectator initially that, in all card tricks usually a magician makes a prediction bit in this case the spectator will make the prediction and then tell them to select the number between 1-27. I think that would have a pretty fantastic effect
I tried to browse three other sites including yours to understand the logic of 27 Card trick and apply it in performing the trick. Let me confess...your explanation was clear and simple among all. You have made it simple without making it more mathematical.
Personally I do it in base 3. Just remember to subtract one from their chosen number. Example, they choose 12. Subtract 1, you get 11. 11 in base 3 is 102. The 1st time you deal the cards, put the chosen stack at the top. (2) The 2nd time you deal the cards, put the chosen stack at the bottom. (0) The 3rd time you deal the cards, put the chosen stack in the middle. (1)
@@StagehandFromHell You subtract 1 from 5, resulting in 4. In base 3, 4 is 011. Then use the digits of this base 3 representation (in reverse order) to decide which position the chosen stack goes to.
Great trick, clear explanation. The 'diagram' on the sheet of paper is very helpful, I performed this correctly (to myself ofc) on the very first go! Thanks for the great tricks, getting a lot of response from my friends with these :D
I learned this trick a couple years ago but I forgot the algorithm...you make it so easy to relearn!...also if you figure out the placement of their card in the deck(Example if their card was 9th card the last card in bottom deck) when your counting the cards you could call out the name & suit of the card as well...adds to the effect
I subscribed to you because of this trick. It's mathy, but actually fairly easy to learn. I was a bit confused at first about the coding, but once it was done, I got it. Thank you for this!
Damn! This trick is so easy to perform but so complicated for the spectator to understand that what did just happened. This one is so amusing... You did a very great job. Keep it going 👍
MCT: say a random number between 1-27 Me: my lucky number is 11 but he’d never say that what are the odds MCT: let’s say the spectator says 11 Me: Me: Me: I’ll take it
Not sure if you mentioned this, but when dealing into 3 piles, you MUST DEAL ACROSS. If you deal 9 cards into one pile, then 9 into another, and finally 9 into a 3rd (i.e. dealing down, not across), this trick won't work.
I’m glad you chose to do a tutorial on this trick, it’s one of the first tricks I learned. I would recommend going through each number 1-27 to see what the outcome is before performing for family and friends.
If they choose the number 27, you could add a shuffle that controls it back to the bottom of the deck, otherwise they’ll be able to see clearly before the count that it’ll be the 27th card dealt (the last one laid down face up), which kind of breaks the illusion.
I like this trick way better than the 21 card version. And yes, in a performance, it's important to look at the pile of their selection. Misdirect on the way you stack them. In the 21 cards version that can be a dead giveaway... Thanks for uploading this! And, oh yeah, It's "do it again proof". The matter in fact the second time you perform it it becomes even more impressive... ;)
New sub man! When I showed this to the head teacher who was interviewing me for my secondary school he was amazed! One month later, I got into the school! Thanks soo much man❤😂🎉
For some reason this reminds me of Graham jolly's mathematical card trick Even though these two are not at all similar but the fact that they look almost impossible to figure out as spectators shows the beauty that lies in these tricks
Your explanation is good, but I think the other way is easier. So, you have a random number, say, 17. First, you need to take 1 from it to get 16 (because if your card will be 17th, you need to get 16 cards on top of it). Now, think how many times can 9 fit in 16? Only 1 time. Then, how many times can you fit 3 in what's left (16-9=7) - 2 times. Then, how many times can you fir 1 in what' left (7-3-3=1) - 1 time. So you got 1 "nine", 2 "threes" and 1 "one". Look at these numbers in reverse now. Here we have 1, 2, 1, so it doesn't matter which way around you look at them, just remember you have to account for single units first, then threes, then nines. So you got your 121. In fact, every number out of those 3 could be either 0, 1 or 2. Now, 0 is "t0p", 1 is "m1ddle" and 2 is bottom. So, with 121 you first put your pile in the middle, then bottom, then middle again.
You just earned a new subscriber! thanks man! I keep on practicing on the math part , But it's really really awesome to show in my class 😄 Now I can fool my classmates hahaha
I wanted to learn card tricks so I looked on CZcams and found your videos and they make perfect sense. I can do most of the card tricks but some I still have to practice but anyway thank you and love your videos.
Should the pile of cards have exactly 27 cards. I tried with 30 cards and if the number chosen was 11, the actual user card was not 11th card. It was 12th.

I literally had to shut down and restart myself three times while watching this video! (Great trick and amazing tutorial, thank you!)
if it was such an amazing tutorial, why the need to restart? It's a simple trick made overly complicated by the explanation of how its done.

It's just modular mathematics.
😊
Personally I do it in base 3.
Just remember to subtract one from their chosen number.
Example, they choose 12.
Subtract 1, you get 11.
11 in base 3 is 102.
The 1st time you deal the cards, put the chosen stack at the top. (2)
The 2nd time you deal the cards, put the chosen stack at the bottom. (0)
The 3rd time you deal the cards, put the chosen stack in the middle. (1)
Yep, all of this modular mathematics.
That makes a million times more sense. This system also reveals why the chosen card ends up in the right place.
And what if the spectator choose an one digit count?For example 5?
@@StagehandFromHell You subtract 1 from 5, resulting in 4. In base 3, 4 is 011. Then use the digits of this base 3 representation (in reverse order) to decide which position the chosen stack goes to.

Try 40year old. I did this whe I was a kid...

Btw, didn't u ask your spectator to cut cards roughly in half?
What if they cut 23 cards? Or 29 cards? Can u please respond

does the half of deck must be 27?what is the card count is 25 or 23

My fault u can cut 28 in to 3rds. But what if u can not cut the number of cards into 3rds evenly

Wonderful trick. Great tutorial. Is this written down somewhere in a magic book. Great job 👍👍
What a wonderful trick. Thank you so much for sharing!
What if the spectators not cut the 27 card
Your explanation is good, but I think the other way is easier. So, you have a random number, say, 17. First, you need to take 1 from it to get 16 (because if your card will be 17th, you need to get 16 cards on top of it). Now, think how many times can 9 fit in 16? Only 1 time. Then, how many times can you fit 3 in what's left (16-9=7) - 2 times. Then, how many times can you fir 1 in what' left (7-3-3=1) - 1 time. So you got 1 "nine", 2 "threes" and 1 "one". Look at these numbers in reverse now. Here we have 1, 2, 1, so it doesn't matter which way around you look at them, just remember you have to account for single units first, then threes, then nines. So you got your 121. In fact, every number out of those 3 could be either 0, 1 or 2. Now, 0 is "t0p", 1 is "m1ddle" and 2 is bottom. So, with 121 you first put your pile in the middle, then bottom, then middle again.
I was thinking of the ace of hearts and then when you said the ace of hearts is what the spectator chose, I actually freaked out

funny enough. my uncle taught me a similar version with 21 cards which i still use to this day. this version sounds more fun tho.
