Reminds me of another trick called, 'Jack the Bounty Hunter' In that one, Jack (one of the four Jacks) searches for 'the bad guy' after he just robbed the bank and was on the loose. You guessed it, Jack caught 'the bad guy'

​@MattMcGurk I did a guess trick to my brother and I got a seven and he asked me to make it a ten and I flipped the next card down it was a ten it was pretty cool nothing compared to yours though

It's a very nice baffling trick. Thank you! Because of all the dealing, I think it needs an engaging story throughout the trick. For example, In line with Matt's idea that the queen is "hunting the card," I might be inclined to embellish a bit more and say something like, "In a deck of cards, there are criminals, just like in society at large." Then maybe use a jack and introduce him as "the world famous detective, Jack Diamond." The card they select could be a "notorious criminal," hiding and "on the run in the underworld." Maybe explain, as the cards are being dealt and placed aside, that Jack tirelessly pursues every lead, narrowing down and systematically eliminating suspects, until he finally tracks down the fugitive and brings him to justice.

Great that you’re putting your own spin on this! If you prefer a story based presentation this is perfect!

Simple and slick...fun to perform...keep the tricks coming!!

Nice. Interesting to note that this also works even if you allow the spectator to cut the pile (that is about to be dealt into two hands) as many times as they like prior to each deal. The reason it works is that the initial procedure simply ensures that in the starting pile there are 15 cards between the two cards (the face-up one and the selection). This is the case even after a random cut of the pile. After the first deal, there are then 7 cards between them (even after a cut of the pile) and after the next deal, there are 3 cards between them (even after a cut of the pile). After the next deal, there are four cards left, and the two cards are separated by 1 card (even after a cut of the four-card pile). Hence, after the last deal, the two cards will be together in one pile. It’s a nice progression from 15 to 7 to 3 to 1 - i.e. (n-1)/2 As a test, if you start with both cards face up, you can follow this happening.

Is it still possible if you have unbalanced combined decks? I have an entire deck combined with only a few cards from another deck.

I’d just use a regular full deck. People may become suspicious if duplicate cards start showing up. It could also be confusing when trying to learn it.

Fantastic! Works like a charm!

I try and rarely get it. If i keep doing it the same wrong card always flips. Weird

You just saw him do it. It works.

thx matt this tricks awsome

For the ppl that says it doesn’t work it is because when you put the cards in the pile where “The queen is hunting” you have to always start the first card on the same side. For example: if the first time you put the cards down and you start on the right you have to put on the right for all the next times. Hope this Helps❤

I keep trying to get this trick to work but it is not always working regardless if I do the same things . I turned the both cards over to see If it's working but sometimes it doesn't go in the same pile as the key card . I must have done it over 100times and it only worked 100 % about 5 times.

@MattMcGurk

5 ай бұрын

Then there’s definitely something that you’re doing differently. I’d watch all the tutorial again, just to make sure. This will work 100% of the time providing the steps are followed. Good luck 🤞

For anyone saying it doesn’t work, here is a likely fix. I also had it not work several times. Then I realized I was cutting the piles down, rather than across. Form two piles of 15, one above the other. Then cut each deck over, like half of each pile to their right. At first, I had two piles of 15, then cut about half the stack down. Doing this ruins the whole “two rows” aspect.

This trick does not work every time. I broke it down to understand why: You end up with 15-x, queen of spades, y, x, their card, 15-y (The Queen and their card is interchangeable above according to how the trick is done) If x+y is ever even during the halving process then the queen and their card end up in different decks

For those who are having trouble: Always align the two initial piles on top of one another as in the video. The cuts of each pile then get set next to these making your four piles. IMPORTANT: In other words, row 1 and row 2 will each measure 15. This is how you need to set up the trick. It will not work if you mix up your rows/columns. Hope this makes sense.
