Here's how the trick looks to your stunned observers. Take all the card of the same suit out of the deck. So you've got all the hearts, or clubs, or whatever. Put them in order, from king to ace, or ace to king. If you are doing this with kids, you can even have them set the deck up for them.
Once you've got it set up, then you go through the deck once, showing them all that they are indeed in order, starting from the ace, and ending at the king. If you want, you can have them inspect the short stack of cards, to make sure it's not a trick deck or anything.
Then explain the trick to them. You have the stack face down. If they say "deal," then you take one card off the top, and place it face down on the table, in a new stack. If they say "double deal" then you take two cards off the top, reverse the order and then place them face down in the same stack. Do this until you've gone through all the cards. Tell them that they have to remember the new order that the cards are in. When they are trying to figure out the new order, start to turn over the cards, one by one. They will be astounded to see that the cards are still in the same order, starting from the ace, up to the king.
Usually they will want to see this trick again and again. And the cool part is, since this is a self working trick, they can do it themselves and it will still work. You'll see how it works once you do it a few times. If you take only one card off the top, and place it in the new stack, (deal), or take two cards, and reverse the order, placing them in the new stack (double deal) they still end up in the same order, no matter if you deal or double deal them. To see this in action, simply do the trick with the cards facing up.
This is great for all ages, and most of the time they'll never guess how this simple trick works. Of course, you'll occasionally run into a young logician or natural mathematician who'll see right through this trick and understand how it's down. Nevertheless, this trick is great for endless amounts of entertainment, even with adults. Have fun with this easy trick.
