[Magic Video] Juan Luis Rubiales – Let’s Be Fair

Juan Luis Rubiales, once a well-kept secret in the magic circles of Spain, now brings you a trick that is as direct as it is deceiving. Let’s Be Fair is designed to be completely above board, yet it’s packed with subtlety that will fool both lay audiences and magicians alike. The method is so fair that even the most skeptical spectator will be convinced of its integrity.

Here’s how it unfolds:

• The audience cuts the deck into three piles and shuffles the first pile, ensuring the magician couldn’t know the top card.
• They memorize a card from that pile and shuffle another packet, placing it on top of the first pile.
• They can then place this combined pile on top of or underneath the last pile and cut the deck as much as they like.
• The magician takes a quick look at the cards, places them face-up on the table, and—using the energy of the cards—declares that the value of the card on the face of the deck reveals the position of the memorized card.
• The audience member counts down the number of cards equal to the value of the face card, and miraculously, they find their selected card.

Juan Rubiales teaches you the secrets to performing this stunning trick with a borrowed deck. Once you understand the principles, you can execute this effect with almost no moves. The fairness of the card selection and the way it’s lost in the deck make it seem impossible for the magician to ever find it—yet you do, every time. Best of all, Let’s Be Fair requires no gimmicks or memory work, making it accessible to magicians of all skill levels.
