Jay Jay: It is pretty cool, isn’t it? Male: Yeah! Female: Yeah! Jay Jay: We’ve never met before have we? Female: No, we haven’t. Jay Jay: Really? Now, here, we’ll try another one. Grab another one out, okay, alright. Show the camera, okay. Female: Cam done. Jay Jay: Okay cool. Check the card if it’s on top, here we go. Ready, watch, I’ll cut the cards, watch this, snap your fingers, and you blow. Female: No, its not. Jay Jay: Really, okay. That wasn’t your card, that was the card before, I know your card, its two cards down from that. Female: How do you know that? Jay Jay: Why? Female: That’s so weird. That’s weird man. Jay Jay: Check it. Female: Okay. Hey guys! This is Jay Jay here. Grab yourself a pack of cards. And this is what you need to do, some pre-setup. You need to find a card. You can find any card, find a card with a number on it, whatever you want, I try to find a -- maybe like a four or a five, whatever. So, grab the five out and this is what you're going to do. You're going to place the five, you're going to count down one, two, three, four, five extra cards and you're going to turn that over, okay. So pretty much what it looks like is this. You’ve got one, two, three, four, five -- cards, then you’ve got the number five, okay, turned the opposite way. And it goes to you like that. So pretty much, it looks like this. One, two, three, four, five, then the five, the card with the number five and then you turn that the opposite way. you don’t have to use five, you can use seven, you can use two, you can use three, but just remember, if you use three, you go one, two, three cards, then have the three, the opposite way and be after -- be actually in the fourth position. Then this is it, that’s the trick, pretty much. You get someone to choose a card, they have a look. You place the card on top. You can either get them to cut the cards in your hand or you can just cut it. What happens now which is really cool is that their card is on top now, okay? So the Queen of Clubs is on top, you're placing all this little stack of cards, okay, on top of the Queen, of their card, okay, so that’s goes on top. Now you do the magical moves, abracadabra, then as you snap, you spread out and there’s one card faced up, okay, they're going to say, “That’s not my card.” And you go, I knew that, its an indicator card, it’s a key card, I know that your card is five cards away from that. You place those cards on top, cut them to the top, you place the five down, wherever, then you go, count down one, two, three, four, five, the next card will be their card. You say, what is your card, is it the Queen of Clubs? And you turn it over and that’s their card. So, once again, lets just use another card for an example, let’s use a seven, okay, here we go. Lets use the seven, so count down, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven cards. Place the card, turn it the opposite way. Place the rest on top. It’s done, okay. Get someone to choose a card, great, they have a look, I won’t even look, okay. Place the card back on top, cut the cards in the deck and then watch this, your card. That wasn’t your card. No, it was an indicator card, see. Look, it’s actually seven cards away from this. Ready, look, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven cards, they name their card, the Seven of Hearts. Practice that one. It’s such a cool trick. So, if you like to learn some cool, new powerful illusions like this one, checkout my website which is www.freemagiclive.com.
