Before the tricks say

I'm going to perform a very high level, very difficult card trick. In order not to make mistakes, let me have some solitude time to practice. Is that OK?

Go to a place to set up the card

My Preferred Set up

Set up Deck

23 cards deck

- 12 Random black cards

- 10 Diamond, 1 heart of 7

Performance

Put the 23 set up deck on top of the rest of the cards with the ❤️ of 7 as a break (or using Joker besides 7 as a break, then take out the joker)

Some time some audience will request to shuffle the card

Don't worry, I will give you a lot of chance to shuffle until you drop.

Put the 2 deck side by side

Ask audience to cut the deck on the left, then turn to the other side, put it beside the right deck. Ask audience to cut the deck on the right, then turn to the other side, put it beside the left deck. Then shuffle the right side 2 deck and the left side 2 deck

Repeat this as many times as possible

Very important, use the side with face up Diamond deck, turn the whole pile facedown and merge the 2 decks together into 1 deck

The whole setup with audience involvement has completed

Reveal time

1. Ask audience to separate the face down and face up

Ask audience to count the face down Cards (Counted 23)

Show Predict paper

- 23 Face down cards

2. Ask audience to look at the cards and separate the red from the black

Ask audience to count how many black cards (Counted 12 black cards)

Show Prectiction paper

- 12 Black cards

3. Show prediction paper

- All reds are diamond

Ask the audience to flip all the remaining red cards to ascertain all red are diamonds

Wrong

Oh I make mistake, fumble, can give me a chance

4. Ask audience to open the last Prectiction

- The only non Diamond. heart of 7

Video

25 face down cards

10 cards are black (10 red cards)

All are clubs

9 club cards and Ace of Spade

Set up

16 random red

2. Red and Black

Another way of performing it

You can say I am reading your mind in advance by picking up the color that you want to place on either pile

If you think that this is red, I will place in the pile of red. If you think that this card is Black, I will place it on the pile of black. Is that fair?

After this trick, you can get them to shaffle the cards and said I'm going to perform a harder version. This time round, I no longer reading your mind, I'm going to perform magic

Then perform the above one. At the end, before reveal, you said All the colors and different, but I will magically make them turn into the same color. This time round, to make it more difficult, the whole full deck is involved.

3. Cards Matching

Set Up

A Suit of Hearts and A Suit of Spades

Shffles the Hearts into Random order

Put the Spades into same order as the Spades

For the Spades Deck, when whole deck faced up, get the bottom most and bring it up on top of the deck

Put the Spades on top of deck of Hearts (do it when all the cards faced up)

Turn whole set up deck face down and put it right on top of the random deck.

Presentation

Bring the whole deck out

Cut the deck, the top set up deck must be cut more than 26 cards

Now you have 2 decks, Riffle Shuffle them.

Tell the audience all the cards have been shuffles

Tell the audience we just needs 2 suits, the Hearts and the Spades

Get the cards face the magician and the magician get the 2 suits out

Turn both deck face down. Spades on the left and Hearts on the right

Pick up the Left deck (Spade deck), do it nice and slow in switching card by card and ask the audience to point at a card

Ask audience to pick up the card and open up

While all the attention is on that card.

Very important move, switch 1 more card from left deck to right deck

Then ask the audience to place the face up card back on to the top of the left deck

Put the right hand deck cards on top of the face up card on the left deck

While opening both deck side by side and card by card

Ask Audience what is the chance of having a matched cards? Very slim, almost 0 chance

When opened to the left face up cards, put the Left face up card and the Right face down card aside

Continue to open card by card to let audience know there is no chance to have a matched card

After all the left and right side deck are fully opened, turn both deck faced down

Let get all the audience focus to the 2 cards that have been put aside.

Ladies and Gentle, let witness this magical moment. Open the cards, they match perfectly. Thank you.

You think that is the end of the trick, no way, that is only the beginning

Very important move, pick up the Right Deck (Hearts Deck), Transfer the top card to the bottom while picking up the deck

Do a Charlier Shuffle (transfer cards from left to right, top to bottom, bottom to top) on the deck of Hearts

Switching (pushing a few cards off from left to right) 2 to 3 cards, then switching 2 to 3 cards from the bottom to the top with a break. Repeat this until or the left hand cards switch to the right hand (bottom cards must switch to the top)

Then bring all the top cards from the break back to the bottom

Then for the left deck of Spade cards.

Involve the audience: You can tell or ask me to deal or to switch a certain number (1,2 or 3 cards) of cards or to switch a certain number of cards (Called a Switch Swindle, by Paul) very deceptive move

Now the 2 decks fully set up in front of audience and waiting to be reveal

Let's witness this magical moment

Open up the 2 deck side by side and card by card, every card should perfectly matched.
