It seems like the basic descriptions of these two tricks, the cards and the liquids, are terribly vague and imprecise in this article, so it's difficult to discuss it. In particular, it's unclear what information is shared, and what information is hidden.
The logical and mathematical analysis later in the article looks more detailed, but unfortunately the initial, fundamental, description of the process lacks clarity and forces us to guess the details
- jandrese 5y agoI have to admit I still don't understand what is going on with the water and wine part. The card trick is pretty straightforward though. When you mix up the cards you end up with something like 7 face up and 3 face down in one deck and 3 down 7 up in the other. The trick is just that the magician flips his cards over, inverting the cards and matching the other deck. Presumably he does this while engaging in some misdirection.
