@norik0 at 1:45 you're exactly at radiums suggestion since the way you put the piles onto each other. You basicly add the rest of those 15 cards to the amount of cards you previously cut from them. In numbers this is like: 15 minus the cut cards plus the cut cards ("15+a-a=15"). Now at the end taking those 4 from top to bottom leaves you with 5 cards on top before your first chosen card and 14 cards at the bot. So basically radium01 suggests to start in the middle of the trick - and thats fine.

it has something to do with the even numbers cause if you count them out as your doing the trick they all face down are even numbers
-
@radium01 perhaps it's because 10 and 9 are closer to each other, so the 4 decks will look less lop-sided, making it more believable that the 4 decks are just randomly distributed
-
you are basically always placing the cards in the same place in the deck cos, independently from where the observer cuts the decks you are always placing the cards in this pattern: 10 cards >1st card> 15 cards >2nd card >15 cards > 3rd card> 9 cards. this makes it so the 3 cards are always in the same even positions (10th, 26th, 42nd position).

Thanx man:P it works!

thanks...I ll try this at home.,

@norik0 it does work all the time i did it like 20 times already

It's a sorting algorithm. Now don't get me wrong it's still cool, but IMHO, someone probably observed that if you sort the cards into two decks, the progression of piles is 26 13 7 3 3. You are always going to have this pattern, and because cards don't randomly move about the deck, there are certain starting positions in the full deck that will ensure a card be part of those last three or the next to last three or the next to last seven, etc. Also, it helps to have the false shuffle at the start

up down up down up down... DOWN ! lol
If you use pile sizes: 14, 15, 15, 5 instead of the 10, 15, 15, 9 respectively, there is no need to pass four cards from top to bottom. I think this makes the trick flow slightly better, and avoids awkward questions asking why you're doing it. Thumbs up if it helped.
