Magic ^^

Archive: 16 posts

I recently became obsessed with magic tricks and such so post any good ones here!

Here's one that has a 60% chance of success with text:


Think of a card,

Nothing obvious, like the ace of spades or jack of diamonds; nothing like that.

A regular card, but still an odd and slightly unusal card.

Feel the card deep inside of you and make it really vivid in your mind; see the number of symbols on the front visually.

Start to turn it over and over in your head as if it were real :star:



Is your card red?

Is your card a value less than six?

Is your card a heart?

Is your card the five of hearts?

9 of Hearts, close enough.
You eliminated spades and diamonds by referencing them, and the next one everyone's going to think of is hearts (perhaps the most popular symbol) the only problem is that it could be any number, perhaps it'd have worked better for me if somehow you made a remark about high numbers and therefore I'd decide to choose a lower number. Maybe I just think wrong, who knows? Almost got it right though.		2013-01-20 11:50:00

Is your card red? No.

Is your card a value less than six? Yes.

Is your card a heart? No.

Is your card the five of hearts? Obviously not.

I have a trick

Think of a number

Add it by 4

then add it by 5

then add it by 10

add it by 3

then subtract it by 2

Now, subtract the the number you're thinking of by the original number you were thinking of

Are you now thinking of 20?		2013-01-20 17:52:00

x+4+5+10+3-2-x = x+20-x = 20.

And the original trick works far better in conversation with hand gestures, making your fingers splayed out to make a five - really reinforcing the 'star' in start.
It works by:
Nothing obvious, like the ace of spades or jack of diamonds; nothing like that. (eliminates clubs, diamonds and most royal cards - especially aces)

A regular card, but still an odd and slightly unusal card. (Tries to get you to think of an odd number but still a low card, works really well in conversation)

Feel the card deep inside of you and make it really vivid in your mind; see the number of symbols on the front visually. (feel = heart; and makes certain the card is red [black cannot be 'vivid'] - number of symbols eliminates all royals and aces)

Start to turn it over and over in your head as if it were real (star = generally five pointed - hand actions really come into play here)

If you decided the card and then read the text without changing your mind it will not work 		2013-01-20 18:03:00

That one is fairly basic, I've seen more complicated ones. Most often, at some point they will ask you to multiply your number by 9, then add the digits in that number together - you'll then get the number 9.

eg

Think of a number
Square it
Square it again
Multiply the digits together
Multiply that number by 9
Add those digits together
(If you get a number that has more than 1 digit, add them together again, and again if necessary until you have a 1 digit number)
Take away 5
Pick the corresponding letter of the alphabet (1=A, 2=B, 3=C... etc)
Pick a country beginning with that letter
Pick an animal beginning with the 2nd letter of that country
Pick a colour for that animal

Is it......

A grey elephant from Denmark?

Heh, I've seen that one before. The first time I saw it, I thought of a grey eel, not an elephant.		2013-01-23 10:41:00

You could always be a smart a**e and pick:

A pink Emu from Democratic Republic of Congo
