Here is a link to a site that purports to have a real magic trick.

I have done this thing about 40 times and I can’t figure out how it could possibly work. Can anyone figure it out.
It is pretty damn cool!
You’re gonna kick yourself, Z, when you figure it out. Try it again.

Easy one… none of the cards from the original screen are there.
Yeah, like Steve-o said.
Don’t feel bad, Mr. Z. I fell for this the first time I saw it. It was on Penn & Teller’s website. Our admin secretary told me of the site, and I spent the whole morning playing it over and over. I examined the source code and saw no special scripts or other tricks. She finally told me the answer, and I slapped my head very hard.

Hey AWB,
I keep seeing your tag line there at the bottom of your posts, and I think it needs to be ammended.
It should read as follows:
“Wrong thinking is punished, right thinking is just as swiftly rewarded - except where Steve-o works. The rest of you will find it an effective combination.”
I figured it out in one go. It’s really a good “trick” – I salute the person who thought it up.
Are you educated, erudite and maybe a bit eccentric?

I figured it out the first time. I caught a couple of people with it, but most figured it out quickly.
That’s why “magicians don’t repeat a trick”! 
Add me to the list of “head slappers”. I even scanned through this thread and didn’t notice that Steve-o gave the solution.
Haven’t had my caffiene yet this morning.

whew. I almost wondered how it new the finish of the trick before I even saw the trick.
Sorry, Steve-o. My sig is a quote from a TV show; it’s not open to amendments.

Yeah, they change them all but you can still amaze your friends with it. Even make your own version, if you want.
Everyones link to this “trick” leads me to a dead site. Anyone care to try again ?
For those who are not magicians out there, the trick is called the “Princess” card trick. It was originally done with real playing cards. 7 cards were fanned out, one was mentally selected. The cards were brought together, then refanned and one was missing: The card that was selected. Would anyone care to venture how the LIVE version was done?

just in case you’re interesterd, and to reveal my own pointless life, AWB’s sig is from the episode “The Gamesters of Triskelion” from the original Star Trek.
Cecil said it. I believe it. That settles it.
Dragwyr, sleight of hand. You have a pile of both sets of cards. First you fan one set, then the other. Ta da!
