"The 27 Card Trick"
27 Cards are dealt into 3 rows of 9
Ask for a number selected that's less than 28
Subtract 1 from this number
Ask them to say which pile the selection is in
Use the following table to decide
What order to pick up the piles
1st 2nd 3rd
--------------------------------------
TOP: 0 0 0
MID: 1 3 9
BOT: 2 6 18
Break down their number into
3 numbers on this table
If they selected 21 for example:
First subtract 1 to get 20
Then you have 2, 0, 18
2 is first, then 0, then 18
In our example
Ask which pile their card is in
Put it at the bottom of the 3 piles (2)
Then deal them out again
They tell you which pile their card is in again
Put it at the top of the 3 piles (0)
The final time you will put it at the bottom again (18)
Deal out 20 cards
The 21st card will be their selection.

Will equal the missing card
Look through deck a second time
And determine the missing suit
"Dice Trick"
Turn your back
Let them roll two dice
Have them turn smaller of two upside down
Add 7 to larger die to get total
Make sure they didn't roll doubles

Is if they roll a 1
If they do roll a 1
turn larger upside down instead
"Coin Flip"
Take a bunch of quarters
Throw them on table
Note number of heads
Decide if they are even or odd
Turn your back and listen

One at a time
Each time change your count from

Determine if the coin under their hand is even or odd
Based on the number of heads showing
"Zodiac"
