Hey Vsauce! This time, instead of having to go to another platform for the whole video, the rest of it IS ON KZfaq right here: kzfaq.infofzHqQPwyQHQ

The pause while he's stopping the recording is a staple of Vsauce shorts and it gets me every time

"I know which one is yours" *nuclear explosion*

It works every time! I've seen this loop 5 times and he always gets the right card.

Vsauce is teaching magic tricks now? Bet!

this is the beginning of Michael's magician career.

"I know Which One Is Yours" Said Vsauce (proceeding with a nuclear explosion)

" I know which one's yours" -Dumbledore said calmly

For anyone confused how dis works, when he puts the four cards containing the selected card ontop of one of the other piles, and than put the other two above it, it makes so when he puts the cards in the four rows, all of the cards in the pile containing the selected one will be second to last. Than when you pick the row with your card, it is already ordered so, that when put the cards side by side your card will be third to the left

Elements as poker cards? Now that's the most VSauce thing I have ever seen

Vsauce becoming a magician will be the end of magicians

Vsauce being vsauce

it almost like the card never gets shuffled

"BOOM!" I was wearing headphones and that resonated in my soul

“I AM NOT A BORON” -Wheatley

The trick doesn't really hold my interest. You might even say I find it *Boron*.

The horizontal flip reverse shirt is the neatest trick! 😂

The cards were just a distraction and the real trick was Michael magically moving the characters on his shirt

There is actually a longer version of this trick that is a lot of fun. Instead of 4 columns, you use 3 and go down once you hit 21 cards. Ditch the rest since the trick only needs 21. You ask them to pick a card, then without changing the order of the cards in the column, pick the cards up and stack them. Make sure the column of the card they picked is always in the middle of the stack. Then deal the cards into 3 colums all the way to the 21st card and repeat this process 2 more times by asking them in which column their card is in. After the 3rd stack, you pick up the stack, turn it over on the back side, and count to the 11th card and its ALWAYS their card. Idk how the math works but it always fun to do. Enjoy! P.S when they pick the card, ask for the column without you knowing the card. It's more exciting that way.

Most normal Vsauce video 💀

Only Vsauce Michael would have poker element cards 😂

“Boom, it’s this one.” Dumbledore said calmly

I love how his expression goes blank and he turns the video off at the end 😂

If your wondering what is a boron its just the 5th element in the periodic table (it is a gas

I remember leaning this one when I was about 8! What a flashback!! (Over 20yrs ago now, wow how time flies!)

You have them put their batch of 4 on top on one pile of four. Then they mix up the other 8 cards and put them on top. So there are 4 cards, 4 cards of which one is the card, then 8 cards on top. You deal out 4, then 4 (the eight cards we mixed up), then the batch containing the one card. The final 4 were the bottom cards from the beginning. Therefore the card is always the 3rd in the pile that is chosen at the end.

It works by dividing the deck into ‘groups.’ Your card is part of one of four groups, each with four cards in them. By placing the group with your card in it on top of another one, disregarding your card’s position within that group, then putting the other cards on top, you’ve created a stack of cards where your card will always be either the fifth, sixth, seventh, or eighth card from the bottom. As such, by dealing the cards once more from left to right, the bottom four cards will always be on the first row, the next four cards will always be on the second row, and so on and so forth. Your card will always be on the second row out of four, face up. By picking the pile with your card in it, then inverting the order of the cards by turning them face down, your card will be the third from the top 100% of the time.

I’m a simple man. I see that beautiful bastard of a Michael, I click immediately 😁

Vsauce becomes Michael after every short is finished

idk if anyone cares but his shirt says Japan in Japanese

One of the more Boron Vsauce videos:

This reminded me a similar trick but with 21 cards divided equally in 3 piles

I felt that table slap in my soul

Holy shmoly its that one guy...uh....VCondiment, Michelle here!!!

This is very confusing because Vsauce doesn’t specify which person does the action. I figured it out though and it’s really cool

It works because 16 is 4^2

The 2 braincells i have aren't powerful enough to understand a single word

Basically: there are 16 cards in a 4x4 grid, you ask the person to tell you the x and y coordinates of the card, and then you guess which one it is.

Vsauce becoming Family-friendly

Those cards are amazing. I wish to have some.

I learned this trick 40 years ago and still entertains any one I show it to 😊

Please put cards like that in the next curiosity box they look cool!!

I learned a card trick similar to this in high school. We spent a lot of time backstage perfecting it while waiting to practice our next scene.

As his beard grows,he is drifting off science

WHAT. it feels so trippy to see the previous short and this is just 1 short apart

I LOVE THOSE CARDS!!❤️❤️❤️

I think he miss the train 😂😂😅

Vsauce, is. Something for sure.

Welcome to Vsause's Magic show! Today we'll find Boron!

Vsauce makes me go boron

THE WAY HE BANGED THE TABLE 😭💀

Did anyone else notice that the first part of the video is mirrored vertically?

I learn this trick from my grandma. She forgot it, and I did it on her. She laughed so hard, remembering it.

Vsauce not even bothering to cut the end is already his signature 😂😂

“Sch-throw them on top” 👌👌👌

I didn't watch the other video explaining how he does it, but it's math. The card you picked will be in the group of four that are second from the bottom. Then, when you're dealing it out yourself, you're separating out that group of four into four new stacks going side to side. And you pick the stack your card is in, and deal it out in the same order. Basically, it's kinda like a matrix transformation.

"I know which one is yours" proceeds to destroy the entire solar system

i think it's this one... didn't he already know

“I know which one is yours” *Splits the Earth in half*

I used to do this trick but in a slightly different way. Interesting twist to my method.

If he isn't shuffling the final stack, then why is it so astounding that remembered the final order and the placement of the chosen card?

Your Nippon t shirt was the detail that got me most interested in during the trick 😅

I got how it works, you put 4 cards on top of 4 cards which makes the last two rows, and the rest of the cards make up the upper two rows. When you put the cards on the table near the end you put them in horizontal order so the second row from the bottom always contains the card you chose. Mixing the card piles separately is done for diversion. My dad once showed me a similar trick, but it worked by moving the cards around from one pile to another which in the end led to a specific order of the cards after mixing. It works similarly to this one. (my dad didn't know how the magic trick worked, he just knew how to do it so I had to figure it out myself as well)

I learned this trick as 3 columns of 7 cards. You'd put their card collumn in the middle, and after 3 turns their card was always the 11th in the pile

This dawg is the new quirkology

Amazing! I had to watch it a few times but got it! Thabks

I didn't expect the table to shake so much.

Thank you for the reminder for how to do this. I'm going to teach it to my granson 😊

The shirt inverting threw me for a loop

"5 of spades, Moron" Coming from Michael, I didn't get surprised...

The tshirt changes :o How dare you mess with my head!

"I know which one is yours!" *explosion*

What is deadlier: CaseOh jumping or Vsauce punching the punching bag?

It took me a full watch, but I finally figured it out.

@Vsauce bro got a brand new horizontally opposite tshirt in a couple nanoseconds at the start of the video.

Ohhhh! I saw the part 2 video not knowing it was part 2 or having seen this video. I had no idea what was going on. Kind of like a lot of Vsauce episodes.

The guy is Michael, WE are vsauce.

I recall a friend who dabbled a bit in sleight-of-hand. He said if you couldn’t do this (or maybe it was something similar) then you’re basically not very talented, so it’s a filter of sorts.

The way he loses his enthusiasm at the end is a staple now....

I love that shirt. Where did you get it???

"I know which one is yours" - Michael said calmly.

I know a similar trick usually made with 21 cards (though it works best with any power of 3) where you make them choose one , lay them all out in 3 piles and let them pick the corract pile, 3 times, while putting the correct pile in the middle and in the end their card will always be 11th for 21

The Moment He slaps.... I would love to be the table...

That table slam was everything lol

That shirt is super cool btw

I used to do this trick as a kid in my magic phase

I know a similar one: First, you get a deck of 21 cards. Second, they pick a card and don’t show it to you. Third, you begin placing the cards into 3 piles of 7 cards, while alternating the piles consecutively and letting the person see the cards you place. Fourth, you ask them which of the 3 piles they saw their card in, you pick up all three and put the one with their card in the middle. Repeat 3 times. On the 4th time, their card is guaranteed to be the 11th one. You can even trick them that the trick failed on the 2nd or 3rd repeat, then just plainly asking them on the 4th’s 11th card. I think it works because the middle of 21 is 11, and you are essentially always keeping it in the middle of the deck. I’m not sure why it is guaranteed though.

It's because when you place the first track of 4 down with the card selected, it's set up so that when divided across the 4 columns the second time, it'll always be in the third row. This is because it is essential a square, being a 4x4. It doesn't matter the column, just that you always have random pile first, x pile, then the rest.

Ur shirt is cool. Where did u get it

My brother taught me this back in the 90s. He did it differently. After I learned it his way, I learned there are a few ways to do this. I still do this trick on ppl.

bro is slowly getting crazy, and we love the lore

*_BOOM_* its boron

That slam was personal 😅

the “and why” video was directly above this one 😭

Vsauce doesn't break character when turning off the camera, it's just that his sudden surge of insanity ends

Vsauce never gets old

oh THAT'S why it works. Thank you.

My brother used to do this a while back. I was just like “WHAA!?! HOWWW!!!11?”

I don't think you realize how long I've been trying to find this trick. It's been 10 years since I used to know how to do the trick. When I was taught the trick it was using a full deck of cards and I just remember when you put down the 7th card it was always that card without fail in any of the piles you put it in. While this trick uses only 16 cards, the concept is still the same and you could make up a reason like "the queen next to a 2 means I have to look in this pile and this pile has so and so meaning THIS is your card"

Vsauce showed us a trick that's worth it
