The Key Card
Here's how it plays out:
Your friend freely chooses a card and places it on top of the deck. You lose the card in the center by taking turns with your friend cutting the deck, then completing the cut. When both of you are confident that neither of you knows where the card is, you begin dealing the cards face up on the table. Long after your friend's card has been dealt face up on the table, you hold out the next card in the deck (which clearly can't be his card), and bet your friend that the next card you turn over will be his card. Since he can plainly see his card on the table, already turned up, he'll think you've messed up and that his victory is a sure thing!
However, imagine his surprise when you put the card you're holding back into the deck, and instead turn over his face up card on the table!
Secret: Before starting, know what card is on the bottom of the deck. For this explanation, we'll say it's the ace of spades. When you cut his card into the deck, the Ace of Spades will be right on top of it. No matter how many times you cut the cards, the Ace will always be on top of his card! When you deal the cards face up onto the table, notice which card comes after the Ace-- that's his card!

Episode 25 - The Key Card [Discussion]
Effect: Your friend freely chooses a card and places it on top of the deck. To lose the card in the center, you and your friend take turns cutting the deck, then completing the cut. When both of you are confident that neither of you knows where the card is, begin dealing the cards face up on the table. Long after your friend's card has been dealt face up on the table, you hold out the next card in the deck and bet your friend that the next card you turn over will be his card. Since he can plainly see his card on the table, already turned up, he'll think you've messed up and that his victory is a sure thing! However, imagine his surprise when you put the card you're holding back into the deck, and instead turn over his face up card on the table!
Secret: Before starting, know what card is on the bottom of the deck. For this explanation, we'll say it's the ace of spades. When you cut his card into the deck, the Ace of Spades will be right on top of it. No matter how many times you cut the cards, the Ace will always be on top of his card! When you deal the cards face up onto the table, notice which card comes after the Ace--that's his card! Now deal a few more cards on top, and make your offer--you win!

this is very very old - i hope brian dont put out a trick like this - it would pretty much be worthless and a big downstep
pretty much everyone knows this trick and 99% of the time will not work on someone
This trick is also page 1 in his book....trust me this trick worked into your arsenal will score you free drinks, I drank and entire St Pattys day with that trick, and very few catch on.
Granted I'm biased since I use this trick a lot but it will score you more drinks than the human blockhead or the human chimney, you have to have some things to score a drink

This ones just too popular for me to do. I have some that I don't tell that usually get me free "anything" within reasonable price of course. I never really liked this one too much... Just my opinion for what it's worth. I hope Brian shows something better than this.
First Time Poster
So yah, I used a variation of this trick to basically pay for my lunch throughout high school. Sure it might be an old trick, and one that a lot of people know but for those out there watching that are new to it all(i.e. young) this is a great opportunity to see a staple trick in action.If this wasn't going to be release today, why would I have posted it? I just didn't post the URL to keep the guys in IT happy. :)
Yea! Some of us thought magic tricks were for nerds! Now we need to catch up, so keep em comin Brian!
Also Thank God for Brian...before Scam School the only trick I could do was the good old finger removal trick...
What I like about this episode is the scam part. That's the one thing I haven't done and now I can incorporate that into my routine. Thanks BB!
