he should get some axe styling gel

[17MagicKid]

when I was practicing this trick by myself at first and I noticed that whatever the top and the bottom card was they are most likely to be next to each other in the deck. Thats my way it may not work for you but it worked for me.

[tubelarr]

I believe the odds are [2(4*4)50!]/52! but I don't have a calculator handy to see what that equals. 4*4 is the number of ways the 2 cards chosen can be paired. 2(4*4) because the cards can be in either order. 50! is the number of ways the remaining cards can be ordered. 52! is the number of ways all the cards can be ordered. Did I make a mistake? Counting is fun but not always easy :)

[PianothShaveck]

@tubelarr Done your calculation:

(2*16*50!)=2*16*30414093201713­378043612608166064768844377641­568960512000000000000=

=97325098245482809739560346131­407260302008453020673638400000­0000000

So you believe the odds are:

973250982454828097395603461314­072603020084530206736384000000­000000/

=about 0.0120663650075414781297134238­31.

Are you sure?

[tubelarr]

@PianothShaveck nope, I was wrong. someone had it right on the repsonse video. I made a small mistake

omg i tried it 5 times and it worked no freeking way

[jija0909]

PUASE AT 8:25 LOOK AT THE BOARD WITH THE LADY ON IT!

[manudude02]

Does the second trick have to be 2 different values, or can the player call say a queen and a queen? It would affect the answer to how likely it is.

[weegustav2]

pause 1:36

[weegustav2]

[petraa0]

end is epic how many beers he owns to people

[JoshSitar]

If you're a good card magician, you could actually cull the two values the spectator mentions as you're going through the deck, that way if they aren't paired together somewhere in the deck, you can show that they've somehow magically paired at the top of the deck after a shuffle. That would save your butt and look really magical if you fail to find the initial pairing.

That's a sweet way to save it.

[AlexPalacios97]

get grandpa out of the basement!!! lol !!!!!

[lahhtoota]

i love avatar episode...

[olanort]

[MrMagmaster]

my dad got 9 of D

[WTFMagicTricks]

Omg i tried this on my my dad AND my mum and it worked

[mdoga1]

^^ go to singingbanana^^ hes right

[MrStuckyJ]

The probabiltiy that I calculated is 59.1488481% chance of winning for the Playing the Odds. It may not be correct though.

[GamingElf]

The thing about 2 cards being next to each other. I tried it and go it right 2/5 times

[movienoc101]

YOU SPAZZ TO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gernak00]

2:52 He's right. Every word.

[125meadowbrook]

the exact odds for the two cards near each other trick is 61.538461%. i did the math.

[singingbanana]

This answer isn't quite right. I believed you've counted some combinations more than once. I know because that's what I did on my first attempt, and got the same answer as you.

My second attempt was a little more sophisticated, and I got 46%. This surprised me because it was under 50%. So we ran a couple of independent simulations and got the true answer to be around 48.3%.

I'm a mathematician, so you can probably believe my maths. I intend to do a video response soon.

[125meadowbrook]

say you were looking for the king of hearts next to the 4 of spades.

odds- 2/52 = 1/25

king of hearts next to a 4.

odds- 8/52

king next to a four.

odds- 32/52

32/52= 16/26

16/26=x/100

cross multiply, and i get about 62%

[singingbanana]

Yes, that is what I did at first, but multiplying by 16 means you count combinations like 4K4 twice.

There isn't simply four times as many ways to put the king of hearts next to a 4, as there were to put the king of hearts next to the 4 of spades. What about combinations containing 44, or 444, or 4444, or when 4 is the top/bottom card? You have to break it down into cases, I broke it down into 12 cases in the end, and that was still a bit rough which is why I didn't get the exact answer.

[125meadowbrook]

i figure that by looking for ANY suit, your muliplying your chances by 4... twice

[singingbanana]

Try this one. We'll use the King Queen and Jack of diamonds and the King Queen and Jack of clubs. Just those six cards. If you agree, the probability of the King of diamonds being next to the Queen of diamonds is 1/3.

To multiply by 4 to get the probability of a KQ pair would be over 100%! I'll let you work out what the answer should be.

[pergatory090]

@singingbanana can you help with with algebra

[pieman123ish]

@singingbanana Do you watch scamschool or were you requested?

[singingbanana]

@pieman123ish I watch it, and I managed to invite myself on it.
