Prediction
11
Effect:
The
magician
takes out 10 cards from a deck from Ace to Ten, (the choice of the
suits does not matter) and deals two columns of 5 cards; the
spectator is asked to repeat the same dealing several times, then the
performer takes the cards and deals 5 columns of 2 cards face
down.
He explains he has written a prediction on a paper. Before revealing
the prediction, the spectator is asked to choose a column. The 2
cards in that column are returned, the sum of the 2 cards value is
equal to 11, then the prediction is revealed, it says "Two cards
= 11"
Equipment:

Preparation:
The
cards order
is set, running from top down is: Ace - Ten. You also need to write
on a piece of paper "2 cards = 11". It will be used for the
prediction.
Performing:
- Deal
2 cards in 2 columns, then the following 2
cards in the same 2 columns. Deal the rest the same way, until you
get 2 columns of 5 cards each.

- Place
the cards of one column onto the cards of the other column, it does not
matter if you take the right or left column, gather the cards.

- Take the cards
in your hand and explain it is impossible for you to know the position
of each card. Now do a klondike
shuffle, dealing 5 columns of 2 cards each.

- Ask your spectator to
choose any column. Once it is done, ask her "Are you sure you don't
want to change? You can still change if you want". After being
sure of the column she has chosen, place the prediction (the piece of
paper) on the column selected (photo 5). Gather the cards
around this column and place them back in the deck of unused
cards. So afterward, the spectator cannot see the cards in the
unselected columns.

- First, reveal
the prediction on the paper. Say, "I have predicted the value of the 2
chosen cards will be equal to 11". Ask the spectator to turn
the 2 cards face up. She can see that indeed the sum of these
2 cards is equal to 11.

Take a look of what would happen if the spectator had choosed an other
column.

Because of the
arranged stacking before starting the trick and the Klondike
shuffle, the values of the 2 cards in each column are equal
to
11.
