Taking Liberty
INITIAL THOUGHTS:
When I was younger, I played with this kind of routine but with a different method. It involved much more intensive sleight of hand, and it was riddled with an angle issue. Furthermore, I never received the kinds of reactions from it like I do now.
Since simplifying the method, I find that only the effect remains.
SET-UP:
This routine requires a deck of cards, and a US quarter. Finger Palm the quarter in your right hand, then place the deck on top of it. You’re set, and ready to go.
PLOT & METHOD
Start by shuffling the cards while concealing the quarter in Finger Palm as you say, “Physics is a crazy motherfucker!”
Spread the deck from hand to hand, and have a card selected. At the same time, use your left-hand’s third finger to slide the quarter out of Finger Palm, and under the spread of the deck in the right hand.
As the card is removed, separate the packs. However, make sure the quarter remains hidden under the spread in the right hand.
Have the card returned to the top half of the pack in the left hand. Immediately replace the upper half of the pack on top of the rest of the deck in the left hand. In doing so, you’ve loaded the US quarter on top of the selected card.
Apply pressure to the top and bottom of the cards so there’s no obvious protrusions or breaks showing. Finish by picking up the tuck box, inserting the deck, and closing the lid. Hold the boxed deck at your fingertips in your left hand.

Trial 1 (A), included the participant holding the deck of cards face down , and he/she must sort the deck of card into 2 piles, one pile being a black suit pile and the other a red suit pile. In between the trials, the experimenter (also the time keeper) shuffled the cards. Trail 2 (B), again, holding the deck of cards, face down, the participant is asked to sort the cards into 4 piles this time, one for each suit; diamonds, clubs, spades, hearts. Once Trial 3 (B) is finished, the cards are shuffled again and handed to the participant. Trial 4(A), is a repeat of trial 1, the participants had to separate the deck of card into 2 groups, by alternative color. For each trial, the participant was timed as to how long it
Matthew dealt out the cards again and placed down the first card. Sarah kept eyes on Matthew's expressions as he put cards in the pile. Matthew started to be more careful and much more thoughtful with every card still thinking that the questions are on the cards.. The siblings got to the point that they each only had one card, and the correct card was Matthew's. Sarah sighed in defeat as if she .

This game has 3 cards. One card has an X on both sides, one card has an O on both sides, and one has an O on one side and a X on the other. On your turn you choose one of the cards at random from a bag. You hold it up with one side facing you. You are not allowed to look at the other side or the other cards. You have to predict whether it is an O or an X on the other side of the card.
How is the game of liar’s poker played? The liar’s poker can be played in-group of as small as two or as many as ten, seated in a circle. And the game is played with eight digit serial numbers on a US dollar bill. Each player has to hold dollar bill close to their chest and unseen by other players. The goal of the game is to guess how often a specific digit appears among all the bills held by players in a circle. For example, if the first bidder says three 5s, then there is at least three 5s among the player’s entire bill including his own. The next player can bid higher number like three 6s, any numbers of at higher level like four 5s, or the player can decide to challenge (I doubt it). The game proceeds on clockwise around the table until all the other players decide to challenge one single player’s bid.
Hypothesis : If I pair a beep with flipping to the next card then the subject will anticipate the swap and focus on the next upright facing card of the deck.
Problem Statement: In the problem That’s Entertainment we had to find out how the magician did his magic trick using math. The trick was as followed: you will shuffle the card then pull the first one off the top of the deck. For example, if the card is a 3 you’ll place it down then you’ll count up to 12 starting at 3. So if you pull of a 5 you’ll start counting at 5. If you pull out a face card, king, queen, and jack, you place it back into the deck. Once you get to the point where if you pull out a card and are unable to make another pill then you put those cards off to the side. Once you have done this, you will flip the decks, face down, then flip over the top card and add them up. You have to use the information
Starting off: Each Player is dealt 7 cards. Before the first hand is dealt, players must shuffle the deck, and choose a random card from the deck. The lowest card chose has to deal. After this, the dealer must deal 7 cards to each player in a clockwise rotation and flip one card face up on the table. A player can have up to 7 cards in their hand at a time.
America is commonly called the “Land of the Free”, but the abundance of liberties, and liberties for all, has not always been the case. The Puritans were some of the first to settle in the New World, but they were self-interested and did not come with the purpose of creating a free state for all. As time progressed, so did their believes, and by the time Tocqueville arrived from France, liberty was an important aspect of American life. So important that people would fight and die for it. Tocqueville, while impressed at the amount liberty and freedoms that citizens had, believed that America had a long way to go before it could call itself a truly free country. Fast forward over a hundred years later, and John Rawls lived in a time were the
Consequently, what makes this routine look magical is the reverse spread cover. In hindsight, creating that kind of cover was inevitable, given the left-handed way I spread playing cards. While other card handlers found the reverse spread to be backwards. I recognized then that it mattered how the cards spread.
Now the magician asks her to gather and thoroughly mix all the cards together. When satisfied with the mélange, she randomly deals the cards face down on to the table. That way, no one sees any of the names. That includes the magician.

Community cards are cards that the whole "community" can use and there is five of them. Together will your two hole cards whoever makes the best five card hand wins. In regards to the community cards, they are dealt face up in the middle of the table. The first three cards dealt are known as the flop, then the turn and finally the river. The river is your last chance to catch the card you have been waiting for to make your hand a winner. Before and after the flop as well as before and after the river there are rounds of betting. The first two people to the left of the dealer must place a forced bet called the blind. Blinds are to assure there is always money in the pot. In order to see the flop everyone must call the amount of the blind or fold depending on their hole cards. There are four ways to bet, Check, Raise, Fold and Call. Checking means you are betting nothing and passing bet to the next player. Raising is obvious, it means you are putting more money into the pot. Folding is when you do not want to call or your cards are so bad you don't even want to check. And finally, calling is when you match the raise made by another player to see the next card. You have all four options to choose from except when a player has bet before you and then you cannot check.
There are many varieties of this highly popular card game, but I will teach you how to play the very common “five card stud”. The game begins, as most do, with an “ante” of the lowest possible chip in your possession. This may be changed later on but is normally played this way.
The perception of liberty has been an issue that has bewildered the human race for a long time. It seems with every aspiring leader comes a new definition of liberty, some more realistic than others. We have seen, though, that some tend to have a grasp of what true liberty is. One of these scholars was the English philosopher and economist J.S. Mill. Mill's On Liberty provided a great example of what, in his opinion, liberty is and how it is to be protected. In this essay we will examine Mill's ideals concerning liberty and point out a few things he may not have been realistic about.
