Show off your magic skills with a little preparation and an easy trick to execute.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Two identical decks of cards
Glue
An audience
Table

Step 1: Glue one deck face to face

Take one whole deck and glue each card face to face so you have half a deck of double-backed cards.

Step 2: Add half of regular deck

Discard half of the other deck, leaving half a deck of regular cards and half a deck of double-sided cards.

Step 3: Set up the trick

Put the regular half on top of the double-sided half, and show the new deck to an audience. Split the deck into the two halves, placing the regular half face up next to the double-sided half on the table.

Step 4: Ask someone to choose a card

Fan the regular cards and have an audience member choose one.

Step 5: Shuffle the halves together

Shuffle the two halves together; keeping the regular half face up so it will appear that the cards are mixed up front-to-back and back-to-front.

Tip: Make sure to keep one side of the double-sided cards hidden so as not to reveal the gimmick.

Step 6: Place the card back in

Have the audience member replace the card anywhere in the deck, face down. The regular cards are still facing up.

Step 7: Flip the cards and fan

Shuffle the cards and then flip them around in your hands so that all the cards appear face-down. Fan the cards in front of the audience revealing the chosen card as the only card facing up.

congratulations! This was on the front page, which means this trick is now worthless because everyone knows how it works.

And besides, that's a stupid way to make double backed cards, the deck will be 150% its original thickness and will arouse suspicions when it doesn't fit into its box anymore!

There was a time when Howcast was good, but now it sucks.

@volglizolic

It was presumptuous to assume I went looking for it. I already knew the trick, but was outraged that Howcast did it because I was subscribed to them, and got this video as a subscriber as did many others who have now ruined a potentially magical moment for themselves.
