@singingbanana it is not a math trick he just sees the 4th or whatever card he wants when he splits the deck and thenjust makes up a story

@trialanderror620 I'm not sure but I thinks it because the last two card where 5 and 7 so he went with a 9
-
but mathmaticly, where did the nine come from?
-
I know how u do it.
You just remember the 7th card when you are dealing the first 26
-
A load of you are trying to sound really posh, using big words and over-complicating the simple solution that is - memorise the 7th card you put down when counting out the 26 cards, and then the total of the three cards you put down later, in this case the Jack, the 5 and the 7 - so the 22nd card is the 7th card u memorised. Its one of those tricks that works on its own sorta thing, but to explain how it works would be over complicating the simple fact ;)

Best Math Magic Trick REVEALED ( MUST LEARN )by wickedkid123417,661 views
Looked into it furether and 2 , 2, 3 is OK (list all 26 cards so 2 + 2 + 3 = 7 so we are OK!
It's just 2, 2, 2 that fails!!!
Very very unlikely!!!

@MsOfficeman I'm not convinced we should allow Ace to be a picture card... but it's still quite unlikely - and we know how to fix it :)

No!!!
Just realised, treat Ace as a picture card (10) and it works.
However, do the same and use 2s rather than Aces, you run out of cards in the third column as before.
Column 1 has a 2 plus 8 cards face down = 9
Column 2 has a 2 plus 8 cards face down = 9
Column 3 has a 2 plus 7 cards face down = 8 (ran out of cards!)
3x2 is 6 but our card is still the 7th one down as we didn't add an cards to first pile.
Surely, this is wrong.
I admit it's unlikely though!

@MsOfficeman Good point. If you get stuck like this you would have to say "whoops! We've run out of cards. Let's use some of the cards from the pile we discarded." Continue counting using cards from the top of the discarded pile. You should be ok again.
