The performer places the packet behind his back. A few seconds later he brings two piles forward. The number of face-up cards and face-down cards are the same in each pile. comment - mathematical puzzler...The same principle from "Colorful Prediction" is used. The Rare Reverse – chosen card reverses itself in the deck My Favorite Card – card chosen by the performer ends up between two special cards Ups and Downs – the spectator's card is found at the point where they tell the performer to stop dealing comment - This trick is weak. Why deal half the cards face-up. There is no reason to put dealt cards on the deck. The effect can be done by a simpler method. The next three tricks are offbeat mathematical puzzlers. I like them.
