This is an unexpected variation on the Nine Card Problem, from my book Impuzzibilities. It works well in a close-up show, using the cooperation of three or four spectators. It’s virtually self-working, and the selections seem to be in the hands of the spectators. For this example, they’ll help the magician find the four aces. I’ll describe it using three spectators and the magician taking the fourth group of cards.
In Practice
Out in Force
A great close-up card piece that involves three to four of your audience members. While it is practically self-working, and yet seems impossible.
