The spectator has a free choice to place two queens anywhere they want in the deck. Incredible both queens are placed next to the remaining queens that match in colour!

The magician removes a prediction card from the deck. The spectator then deals as many cards as they like into a pile, and then divides the cards  between themselves and the magician. In the end, the two cards on the top of each pile match the card that the magician removed at the start of the trick in an unbelievable way!

Don't let how easy this trick is fool you! This is an unbelievable trick that gets such a great reaction. The secret is all in the presentation!

A classic trick and usually one of the first card tricks an aspiring magician learns.
