00:10Hello my friends, my name is Rick Lacks. I'm at a noisy Starbucks, but still I'm
00:13going to try to show you a card trick. So go ahead and pick a card. Actually take
00:17your finger, touch the screen and pick one of these five cards right now. Good.
00:22Now I'm going to ask you to move your finger one card to the left or to the
00:26right. You can go in either direction. If you're on the four you can go to the five
00:30or the ace, but if you're on one of the end cards like the three then you would
00:33have to move it. So go ahead and move your finger now. Good. Now move your finger
00:39one more time in either direction. So you can move it back where it came from or
00:43a different direction. Go ahead. Okay, you got a card. I have no idea what that card
00:48is, but you know what it is because you picked it. So we're going to take this one
00:52step further. I want you to pick a card that even you don't know what it's going
00:56to be in advance and I'm going to tell you exactly how we're going to do it.
01:00So don't do anything yet. Don't move your finger. First let me explain what
01:03you're going to do. Then you'll move your finger. You're going to move whatever
01:06number is on your card. So if you were on the four right now you'd move four times
01:11in whatever direction you want. So you could go one, two, three, four like that.
01:16You can go back and forth one, two, three, four, whichever direction you want and move
01:21however many times is on your card. Go ahead and do that now. All right. So now
01:28you're on a card. I don't know what it is. Even you didn't know what card it was going
01:30to be. But my guess is it is not the three. So I'm going to take that away. Keep your
01:35finger where it is because one more time you're going to move whatever numbers on
01:40the card. Go ahead. Do that now. All right. Let's see. I think that you are not on the
01:49ace. So I'm going to take that card away. Now keep your finger exactly where it is. Don't
01:54move your finger. Don't move your finger because I'm going to mix up the cards. Don't move your
01:59finger with the cards. Keep your finger where it is. All right. And I'm going to move here
02:04and like this. So still keep your finger where it is. And now you've got a new card. And I'm
02:10going to guess that this new card of yours is not the two. So I'm going to take it away.
02:17And now one last time, whatever card you're on, move that many times now. Back and forth. Go.
02:24All right. So now this is your card. Now's the part where I got to guess what it is. If
02:31it's
02:31the five of the four, I'm going to say that your card is not the five. It is the four,
02:37the four diamonds. That is your card.
