This week we have a confounding card trick that works on the Gilbreath Principle. Check out MISMAG822's Youtube channel for a full explanation. What it boils down to is the fact that if you arrange a deck of cards so that they are in alternating red/black order, you will be able to dealk red/black pairs even if the deck is shuffled once. If you set the trick up properly, you can never lose with this one.
