Does anyone know the mathmatics that is involved with the trick titled will the cards match.
What it is, you and the spectator have 5 cards, the spectatots cards are in reverse order. You first spell out the word will, for each letter, your spectator decides if he will bring the bottom card up or you will. When done spelling the word, you both take the top card, put it on the table. You do the same with the Words The, Cards, Match. When done, all the cards will match. Is there a mathmatical solution on why this works. |

There's a great discussion of it in the Formula for Becker's "Will The Cards Match?" thread here in the Magical Equations forum.

Shouldn't the be 1/5x 1/4x1/3 x1/2 = 1 out of 120
