Reunited
Some card manipulations, no calculations, and all the cards from the same family are found!
Even though the cards are cut several times, the magician still manages to find all the ones of the right color. Can you do it too?
This trick involves card handling that requires close attention. You can repeat the trick and start by finding the right-colored cards—that’s already a great achievement. Then, by using logic and observing the card sequences, you might uncover why the trick works. But it’s not obvious—you’ll have to think it through. Now it’s your turn!
