Fan out the red-backed deck of cards face up in front of you.Then find the blue-backed card that matches the red-backed card at the end of the deck… Put it face up on top of the matching red card. Now flip the deck over and you’re ready to go.

]]> 43829 1 42 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/25758/42.jpg Spread the cards In front of your audience, spread out the cards on the top, but keep the bottom few cards clumped together.

]]> 43830 2 49 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/25758/49.jpg Ask someone to choose a card Ask someone to choose a card and memorize it.

]]> 43831 3 53 Tip Make sure they don’t pick either of the bottom two cards!

]]> 43832 4 57 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/25758/57.jpg Do the Hindu shuffle Gather up the spread cards and begin the Hindu shuffle. But only use cards from the top two-thirds of the deck, so the blue-backed card stays on the bottom.

]]> 43833 5 68 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/25758/68.jpg Re-insert card When the spectator orders you to stop, have them place their card on the “top half” of the deck. Then put the un-shuffled “bottom half” of the deck on top of that.

]]> 43834 6 79 Tip You now have a deck of cards with the blue-backed card somewhere in the middle, directly on top of their chosen card.

]]> 43835 7 86 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/25758/86.jpg Spread the cards Tell the spectator that their card will “reveal” itself as you spread the cards on the table. When you see the blue-backed card say, “Ah, a sign…”

Place this stack on top of the other stack.The matching red-backed card is now at the bottom of the deck. The card the spectator chose is still directly below the blue-backed card.

]]> 43837 9 114 Tip Don’t let your audience see the face of the card on the bottom of the deck.

]]> 43838 10 118 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/25758/118.jpg Do a double lift Do a double lift of the blue card; pick up the top two cards, but pretend you are just picking up the top one. Tah-dah! It will appear to your audience as if the blue card was the card the spectator picked.

]]> 43839 11 131 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/25758/131.jpg Turn the cards over Now it’s time to double their pleasure. Turn the top two cards back over on the deck and say, “Let’s do it again.” Pick up the blue-backed card… Put it face down to one side… And start the Hindu shuffle again.

]]> 43840 12 146 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/25758/146.jpg Show bottom card Invite the spectator to stop you at any time and pick another card. When they do, show them the bottom card of the pile in your right hand — this will be the matching red-backed card. Tell them to memorize it.

]]> 43841 13 157 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/25758/157.jpg Rejoin the two piles Put the two piles back together. To assure the spectator that you’re not up to any funny stuff, let them shuffle the cards and spread them this time.

]]> 43842 14 167 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/25758/167.jpg Feign failure Scan the spread cards for a sign. Feign disappointment — there’s no blue-backed card this time! Look at the spectator as if they’ve ruined your trick.
