The Impossible Card Trick

TRicksApps

About this app

Imagine taking out your phone and loading up the impossible card trick app and passing your phone to a spectator to keep hold of.

You then pull out a deck of cards or borrow a deck of cards and pass them to the spectator. (Borrowed is always better).

Now ask the spectator to give the cards a really good shuffle.

When the spectator is happy that the cards have been well and truly shuffled, You then ask the spectator to select 5 random cards from anywhere inside the deck and to place them face down in front of you on the table and to place the rest of the deck to one side as they won't be needed for the rest of the trick.

You then take those 5 cards from the table, look at them and place 1 card prediction face down onto the table.

You are then left holding 4 cards, now place each of the 4 cards face up on top of the table and ask the spectator to type them into the impossible card app one at a time.

When the spectator has entered the remaining 4 cards into the impossible card app the phone will then display the back of a playing card.

Ask the spectator to touch the back of that card and on doing so the card will turn face up revealing a predicted card.

Now ask the spectator to look at the card that is face down on the table.
When he does so it will be the same card as what was just revealed on the phone screen.

This truly is the most impossible card effect done with a borrowed deck of cards and a mobile phone.

Remember....

*** Totally Impromptu effect
*** No forces
*** No sleight of hand
*** Works with any deck of cards
*** Instantly repeatable and works every time
*** No secret moves
*** The magician hands the phone out before the deck is touched and never touches the phone again.
*** Doesn't have to be a full deck of cards

A great puzzle that will have your spectator scratching their head.

Ratings and reviews

I had to get my phone reset, so I lost all my apps. Re-installed this, and still great! Thank you Terry! 04/04/24 Update: I just happened to click on Impossible Card, and I remembered how cool it is. Also, I corresponded with Terry, the app creator, and he is delightful. Such an impressive trick that looks, well, Impossible! And yet, you can learn to do it. Don't misunderstand, you'll have to work and practice, but if you put in the time, you'll amaze yourself and blow away your friends.

excellent Fitch Cheney card trick

Awesome, as a card trick magician, my friends are convinced that I have "rigged" my droid and made it "able" to do these really Great tricks. And it's good to have great card magic into the 21st century, as well as working some reveals into older tricks with the phone! GREAT APP!! The trick itself is one of the best "Phone Tricks" available!! Kudos TricksApps!! G
