This video reveals the secret behind a color prediction magic trick using blank cards and colored stickers. The performer demonstrates how to force a specific colored card through a process of elimination, with a prediction that matches the final card.
[00:17]
Setup
Blank cards are marked with different colors using stickers or markers. The cards are shuffled and placed randomly inside a book.
[00:43]
Spectator Elimination
The spectator freely chooses cards to eliminate one by one until only one card remains inside the book.
[01:13]
Reveal
The remaining card's color is checked and matches a prediction that was on the table the entire time.
[01:42]
Secret
The trick uses a gimmick: each card has the predicted color on the bottom and a random color on top. The performer ensures the bottom color is hidden when showing the cards.
[02:28]
Insertion Method
Cards are inserted into the book so that the bottom color (the predicted one) is hidden inside the book, while the top random color is visible.
[02:55]
Outcome
After elimination, the remaining card's bottom color is the predicted one. The performer may need to handle cases where multiple colors remain, but the prediction still matches.
The trick relies on a simple gimmick where each card has the predicted color on the bottom, ensuring that no matter which card remains, the prediction is correct. The performer's luck in the demonstration is actually a forced outcome.

[00:17] also few blank cards each of them is marked by different color as you can see we will now take these cards shuffle them and place them in inside the book
[00:31] them and place them in inside the book on random places like on random places like this once all cards will be inside we this once all cards will be inside we will ask spectator to choose one by one
[00:43] will ask spectator to choose one by one cards he wants to eliminate so it is a free choice so let's say spectator wants to eliminate this card then maybe this card then this card and also this card
[01:00] card then this card and also this card so we are left with just one card inside so we are left with just one card inside the book and we will now check its color the book and we will now check its color so we can see that this card is marked
[01:13] by red color and we have also a prediction sitting on a table entire prediction sitting on a table entire time and my prediction is that we will time and my prediction is that we will be left with card marked
[01:27] be left with card marked by Red blank cards you can either buy them or create them on your own you can just cut
[01:42] some blank paper then we will need some colors as you can see I am using these stickers you can buy in some store or you can use just uh color markers to
[01:55] you can use just uh color markers to create same effect then the secret of this trick is that you will mark this first card by color you will predict and then each card by same color on bottom and
[02:12] each card by same color on bottom and random color on top as you can see and now I think it is clear how this uh trick works you will show to spectator the cards in a way that it is not possible to see the bottom part now you
[02:28] will Shuffle these cards and then you will insert them inside the book in a way that the other color will book in a way that the other color will be inserted inside the book like this
[02:43] then you will do exactly the same as you have seen in performance and in performance I was lucky it was a coincidence that I was left uh with um
[02:55] the prediction where I had only one color that I predicted but normally it happens that spectator eliminates cards one by one and then you will turn over
[03:08] your book I'm lucky again but uh normally uh you would be left with something that would uh look like this and then you
[03:22] would uh look like this and then you will reveal that your prediction is will reveal that your prediction is matching color that was left in a book but as you as you have seen the best case is that you have this card marked
[03:39] only by one color so this was the trick I hope you thank you for attention see you next thank you for attention see you next time
