card magic: guessing the correct card out of a deck?

Question

in 7th grade, my friend ask me to guess a card (suit and number) and to tell him how many guesses it will take him to get it correct and he gets it everytime (after allowing me to shuffle the cards). For example, i tell him a King of spades and he will get it correct in 5 guesses and he does, how can this be?

Answer 1

There are hundred of "pick a card" tricks. It's impossible to know what trick he used, but you can get a book of card tricks (or find them on a website) and learn more tricks than you know what to do with.
