Eight Card Brainwave



You will need:

Four cards

Four cards that have a different color back

Effect:

Eight faceup cards are shown and the spectator chooses one card. It is then revealed that all the cards have the same colored back and they had chosen the card with a different back.

Tutorial:


 * 1) Before you begin your trick, make it so that your eight cards are alternating. In our example, we will say you have red and blue colored cards. Alternate them like red, blue, red, blue, red, blue, red, blue, or blue, red, blue, red, blue, red, blue red.
 * 2) Show your spectator the cards faceup and have them take out one of the cards.
 * 3) When they take it out, take all the cards below their card, and move it to the top.
 * 4) Take off the top face card and turn it over so that the spectator can see the back of the card. It should be the opposite color from their card. Then, turn over the entire pack. This will give the appearance that you're showing the backs of two different cards.
 * 5) Turn them back over and put down your card. Then, put down the top faceup card, so that it gives the appearance that you showed those two cards.
 * 6) Repeat steps 4 & 5 until there are no more cards.
 * 7) Show that they have supposedly selected the only odd card.
