Numberphile with a beautiful Card Trick on the Base of 3

See? Math is just some kind of magic. The magician explaining stuff in the video is part of the gig. It's all an illusion.

I learned the 21 card variation as a kid and then combined it with another trick. In the variation I knew, the card was always #11 after 3 deals so I would manipulate the deck afterwards to get it down to the bottom. Then you have the other person pinch the pile firmly near the edge and then slap the deck out of their hand. What happens if you do it right is the bottom card stays in their fingers while the rest scatter on the floor. It gives the trick a nice bit of flare for the finish.
