Now first of all, it's not that I'm trying to master this trick or learn how to do it, but this magician on the street did it to me yesterday and it still has me going :eek :eek. It's just driving me nuts thinking about what he did. So if someone could find me a website or youtube video of what he did so I know the gyst of the trick I'd really appreciate it.

Basically he gave me a deck of cards, without looking at the cards (and I can't remember if he let me cut them or not, might have been another trick), but then he let me start laying cards down in 2 piles in any order I wanted (1 card left, 2 cards right, 1 card left, 3 cards right, 4 cards left, etc. etc.). Then he turned the cards over, and one pile was all red cards and the other one all black cards!

Any insight/video/help is again really appreciated!

Any chance he swapped the entire piles once you were done divvying them up..? So that he already had pre assigned piles of black and reds? Thats how I'd do it,.. :dunno:

Did you put them in piles or did he? I love street magic, my favourites are the Coffee To Coins trick and the Empty To Full Can trick. Both explained on Google Video.

My favorite card trick is Copperfields grandfather's Ace trick.
