If you like the idea of convincing a room full of people that you have powerful psychic skills, then this trick is for you. It requires only a couple minutes of set up, and it will powerfully demonstrate your incredible skills of psychic projection. Most everybody will quickly be convinced beyond a shadow of any doubt that you have massively powerful Jedi mind skills.

Here's how the deception will seem to your soon to be especially awed test subject. You tell them you have a deck of cards, and you will seize each card off the top, and focus on the color, red or black. Then you will cast the color into their brain, and they will mindlessly select the right color. You methodically go through the whole deck, projecting either black or red into their head.

When you are finished, you will have two stacks of cards. When they guess red, you put the cards to the left, and each time they guess black, you put the cards to the right. You clarify to them that based on to the laws of statistics, two or three in a row is random chance, but more than five or six in a row is verification of something deeper, something puzzling. You ask them to decide on which to check first, black or red. Then pick up whichever stack is that color, and ask them how many cards in a row would convince them of your powers. Typically they'll say somewhere between five and ten.

You then proceed to flip ten cards over, all the exact color that they predicted. You have verified your capability to powerfully project your thoughts into their brain, and they will never look at you the same way again.

Here's how to do the trick. In advance, you'll need to separate out all the red and black cards, put them into the deck. So you'll have 26 black cards on top of 26 red cards. When you are "projecting" the card color into their brain, you'll go through all the black cards, and all of the red cards. Since they'll likely choose randomly between black and red, after the first half the trick is over, you'll have two stacks, with black on top of red, on either side.

They, of course, will imagine one stack is totally black, and one stack is completely red. So when you ask them which stack they'd like to look at first, just have down pat which color is on top. If they decide on red, show them ten cards in a row from the bottom, and if they choose black, display them ten cards in a row from the top. You'll need to be talking when you pick up the particular stack, and turn it over in your hands a couple times to keep their concentration off which side of the stack you pull the cards from. This trick always amazes them, and will sway any skeptic beyond a shadow of a doubt of your psychic projection abilities. Have fun.
