Here's a little breakdown of the math tutorial! Hope you all understand :) Firstly, have them name any number between 1-27. (If they choose a single digit number, then steps 1, 4, and 5 can be skipped) Step 1: Add the digits of the two digit number together to create a single digit number. (Example: 17 = 1+7 = 8.) Step 2: Determine whether that single digit number is the bottom, middle, or top number within its 3 number category. (Example: 8 is the *middle* number out of 7, *8*, 9) Step 3: Determine which larger category does it fall into, either the bottom (1, 2, 3), the middle (4, 5, 6), or the top (7, 8, 9). (Example: 8 is inside of the *top* category of 7, 8, 9) Step 4: Forget the single digit number, and recall the original chosen number (Example: 17) Step 5: Determine which overall category their *originally chosen number* falls into. Either the bottom (1-9), the middle (10-18), or the top (19-27). (Example: 17 falls within the *middle category* because it is between 10-18) Step 6: Put your code together starting from step 2, (Example: 17 = Middle, Top, Middle) Step 7: When dealing the cards into three face-up piles, the spectator notes which pile their card is inside of. The code is the location in which you must stack the pile with their card during the 3 rounds of dealing/stacking. Remember, the locations of bottom middle and top are referring to when the cards are *face-up*, so don't get confused. If the trick doesn't work for you, you most likely mixed up the "top" and "bottom" directions, so just be careful with that!! (Example: 1st round = Middle, 2nd round = Top, 3rd round = Middle). Side-note: If they choose a single digit number, then there is no need to add the digits considering there is only one digit, you simply just use the number they named. Steps 4 and 5 can also be skipped, because if they choose a single digit number, you can have a code shortcut. The 3rd part of the code will always be *bottom* if they choose a single digit number, because it falls between 1-9!

I literally had to shut down and restart myself three times while watching this video! (Great trick and amazing tutorial, thank you!)

I tried to browse three other sites including yours to understand the logic of 27 Card trick and apply it in performing the trick. Let me confess...your explanation was clear and simple among all. You have made it simple without making it more mathematical.

I would like to tell the spectator initially that, in all card tricks usually a magician makes a prediction bit in this case the spectator will make the prediction and then tell them to select the number between 1-27. I think that would have a pretty fantastic effect

Personally I do it in base 3. Just remember to subtract one from their chosen number. Example, they choose 12. Subtract 1, you get 11. 11 in base 3 is 102. The 1st time you deal the cards, put the chosen stack at the top. (2) The 2nd time you deal the cards, put the chosen stack at the bottom. (0) The 3rd time you deal the cards, put the chosen stack in the middle. (1)

it is easy bro u explained it very good hit like if u agree

I was actually just planning to do a video on this also, but I guess you got that covered! haha. Great performance!

Bro this is what you call a card tutorial and explanations its so brilliant you explained it so good in the video itself wow your are just amazing

Great trick, clear explanation. The 'diagram' on the sheet of paper is very helpful, I performed this correctly (to myself ofc) on the very first go! Thanks for the great tricks, getting a lot of response from my friends with these :D

I learned this trick a couple years ago but I forgot the algorithm...you make it so easy to relearn!...also if you figure out the placement of their card in the deck(Example if their card was 9th card the last card in bottom deck) when your counting the cards you could call out the name & suit of the card as well...adds to the effect

Your instructions are so easy to understand You make stuff look soooo easy Thank you ☺️

A classic card trick, I actually performed a variation of this trick that I learned from a friend that uses magicians choice

I subscribed to you because of this trick. It's mathy, but actually fairly easy to learn. I was a bit confused at first about the coding, but once it was done, I got it. Thank you for this!

Such a simple but powerful trick! Great for beginners how doesn't know many sleights :)

when im watching this my brain have a little malfunction

Damn! This trick is so easy to perform but so complicated for the spectator to understand that what did just happened. This one is so amusing... You did a very great job. Keep it going 👍

Great one Nathan!

Could you do a tutorial for monkey on top?By the way,my mom thanks you for teaching me card tricks.

Really happy that you did this trick! Knew it right away when I read 27,, and reminded me of mismags tutorial on this trick :)

I’m glad you chose to do a tutorial on this trick, it’s one of the first tricks I learned. I would recommend going through each number 1-27 to see what the outcome is before performing for family and friends.

Not sure if you mentioned this, but when dealing into 3 piles, you MUST DEAL ACROSS. If you deal 9 cards into one pile, then 9 into another, and finally 9 into a 3rd (i.e. dealing down, not across), this trick won't work.

This trick is like 7 years okd and it’s still amazing still remember my grandpa’s cousin doing this trick >w

you are best youtuber ever this trick works every singlle time thank you so much

I like this trick way better than the 21 card version. And yes, in a performance, it's important to look at the pile of their selection. Misdirect on the way you stack them. In the 21 cards version that can be a dead giveaway... Thanks for uploading this! And, oh yeah, It's "do it again proof". The matter in fact the second time you perform it it becomes even more impressive... ;)

My school and family aren't gonna like you when they find out I have learned more card tricks thanks to you.... But I thank you for doing this❤️

MCT: say a random number between 1-27 Me: my lucky number is 11 but he’d never say that what are the odds MCT: let’s say the spectator says 11 Me: Me: Me: I’ll take it

9:25 for the people who want to read the method without the flailing hands... great trick btw 👍🙏

You are such a math genius!!! My brother freaked out when i performed this to him. :) :)

Your handwriting got me!

If they choose the number 27, you could add a shuffle that controls it back to the bottom of the deck, otherwise they’ll be able to see clearly before the count that it’ll be the 27th card dealt (the last one laid down face up), which kind of breaks the illusion.

Hey, I'm a huge fan and I've been watching nearly all your tricks. I think this is you NO. 1.

This is the best card trick I've ever seen!!!!!!!so amazing! Thank you so much 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

14:58 The real magic here is that perfect shuffle Like seriously, can you show a tutorial or give a link to one?

Very well explained .. thanks for introducing me to magic tricks .... they are really fun

This is amazing card trick.You have tried your best to understand us.......You are awesome bro

Math is understandable. You made it so easy . Pls bring more mathmagic with cards.

One of the best trick ever seen allso a very good tutorial too❤

Amazing explanation..I tried to learn this trick from many videos but yours was the best..you got a subscriber today buddy..keep teaching🤗

does the half of deck must be 27?what is the card count is 25 or 23

100th like! Great trick and tutorial Nathan!

For some reason this reminds me of Graham jolly's mathematical card trick Even though these two are not at all similar but the fact that they look almost impossible to figure out as spectators shows the beauty that lies in these tricks

Your explanation is good, but I think the other way is easier. So, you have a random number, say, 17. First, you need to take 1 from it to get 16 (because if your card will be 17th, you need to get 16 cards on top of it). Now, think how many times can 9 fit in 16? Only 1 time. Then, how many times can you fit 3 in what's left (16-9=7) - 2 times. Then, how many times can you fir 1 in what' left (7-3-3=1) - 1 time. So you got 1 "nine", 2 "threes" and 1 "one". Look at these numbers in reverse now. Here we have 1, 2, 1, so it doesn't matter which way around you look at them, just remember you have to account for single units first, then threes, then nines. So you got your 121. In fact, every number out of those 3 could be either 0, 1 or 2. Now, 0 is "t0p", 1 is "m1ddle" and 2 is bottom. So, with 121 you first put your pile in the middle, then bottom, then middle again.

New sub man! When I showed this to the head teacher who was interviewing me for my secondary school he was amazed! One month later, I got into the school! Thanks soo much man❤😂🎉

Great Tutorial did not get it for like 2 hours and then i finally realised what was happening thanks so much

Your videos are sooooo awesome and they are just really cool and fun to watch Thanks for making such good content!

I absolutely love your videos. One of the best in KZfaq tutorials.

Btw, didn't u ask your spectator to cut cards roughly in half? What if they cut 23 cards? Or 29 cards? Can u please respond

You should make a shirt with that breakdown on it. I would buy one

What if they choose 19

Hey guess who won our class talent show !!!!Thanks for the trick!

I really don't have any questions and you are a great teacher

My fault u can cut 28 in to 3rds. But what if u can not cut the number of cards into 3rds evenly

What if the number is not 27. Such as 28. How do u separate them. One group will have more than 3.

OMG, Insane mate. You are so good at magisk tricks

Thank you so much. Pretty easy trick. Just learning it again

What a wonderful trick. Thank you so much for sharing!

U described this trick so easily that i can perform it right now... You are awesome brother

Instructions unclear hand got stuck in blender

all hail to the king nathan!

Quick mafs got a new meaning

Should the pile of cards have exactly 27 cards. I tried with 30 cards and if the number chosen was 11, the actual user card was not 11th card. It was 12th.

You just earned a new subscriber! thanks man! I keep on practicing on the math part , But it's really really awesome to show in my class 😄 Now I can fool my classmates hahaha

What if they didn’t stop at the 27th card?

I already know this trick but its still really good

Really good explanation. Thank you. It was a fun trick.

funny enough. my uncle taught me a similar version with 21 cards which i still use to this day. this version sounds more fun tho.

So it has to alwyas be a total of 27 cards in the deck?

This doesnt work for nos 27 and 26

You explained it very well. Thanks for the tutorial.

This is THE BEST trick for beginners and the easiest.. you just need to remember the M B T sequence.. MAN THANK YOUI !! HAHAHA

This is a badass trick 👍 From Guam, USA 🇺🇸

I wanted to learn card tricks so I looked on KZfaq and found your videos and they make perfect sense. I can do most of the card tricks but some I still have to practice but anyway thank you and love your videos.

What if they pick 19

Starting was confusing, but can understand while going through with patience😎

What if the spectators not cut the 27 card

Amazing trick, amazingly explained, amazingly performed. Follow well earned. Wow. Just wow.

I was thinking of the ace of hearts and then when you said the ace of hearts is what the spectator chose, I actually freaked out

Wonderful trick. Great tutorial. Is this written down somewhere in a magic book. Great job 👍👍

Got it first time. Nice explanation. !!

DUDE that was amazing thanks soooooo much for the trick.

What if they choose 19 1+9 = 10 what do you do then

This is one amazing trick..... A great trick I've seen in a long time...... 😀😀👌

Thank you so much! This is awesome, and I actually understand it! 😊

I think my math just improved 😂

3:09 not sleeping but learning a trick

Thanks million card trick your the best

Thanks bro I tried so much now I understand 👍

Thanks man! This is a good one. I'll be practicing it!

You did a fantastic job explaining this trick. Can you explain the 49 card trick?

omg thank you my sister was so confused lmao

Finally i understand the tutorial thanks for this awesome tutorial

I really enjoyed your explanation regarding this trick. I am wondering if you know any other mathematical magic tricks. I also wonder if there is any way that spectators could select more than one numbered option. Perhaps select two different magic numbers. Maybe you would have to start over again with the 27 cards and repeat the process mased on the new target number. Possibly just food for thought.

Awesome trick.. That's the best no set up card trick i have seeen so far

Really awesome trick Iam starting to feel like a magician now 😂😂 please make more of this kind

Hey this is amazing. Great and clean tutorial brother....

🔥♥️♠️ Another great video! Thanks so much! ♦️♣️🔥
