I just remembered a trick I'd seen taught somewhere, but I only remember the basics of the effect and method, and cannot recall who I saw teach it, or on what video. Hoping y'all might offer a helping hand.
The magician says that, for his next trick, he'll only be using four cards, and counts them off the deck. Then, while recounting them, a false count shows only three, so he takes another off the deck. Every time he tries to count the cards, a false count shows the wrong number, and he adds or removes cards to try to fix it, only to be wrong again on the next count. In the end, he gives up and moves on to the next trick. It's a bit of comedy, in which the entire effect is that he can't count the cards right, and the expected number of cards is wrong. Anyone know on whose video I might have seen this taught? Thanks, Lelando |

The earliest version used 11 cards, see:
http://geniimagazine.com/magicpedia/Eleven_Card_Trick In the past couple of decades there have been versions with fewer cards and occasionally the one card left becomes a selected card, for instance Paul Gordon's "The Amazing Four Card Trick" etc. (Card Collective). You may have seen David Williamson's "The Famous Three Card Trick" from "Williamson's Wonders" (1989) No doubt these have been on video too. |

AS Paul suggested, David Williamson is where I would start. His routine is great and he does a great job of crediting the similar routines that came before his.
Good luck! |
