The Secret
The principle is very simple: the deck used by the magician is stacked, with all the black cards at the top and all the red cards at the bottom.

In the first round of dealing face-down cards, all of the cards dealt will be black. The switching of sides occurs at the halfway point through the deck because that is the point at which the black cards will be exhausted and the red cards will begin to be dealt.

To understand why this enables the trick to work, think about what will be in the two lines of cards at the end of the trick. The left-hand line will begin with the black marker card (placed at the start), followed by the face-down black cards from the top of the deck, then the red marker card (placed at the side switch), then the face-down red cards from the bottom of the deck. That's (black marker) (black cards) (red marker) (red cards). In other words, this line is exactly right, and is given to the subject to gather up.

The right-hand line will begin with the red marker card (placed at the start), followed by the face-down black cards from the top of the deck, then the black marker card (placed at the side switch), then the face-down red cards from the bottom of the deck. That's (red marker) (black cards) (black marker) (red cards). Although incorrect, it should be apparant that this can be instantly made to appear correct by moving the red marker card from one end of the line to the other, or by reversing the order of all other cards in the line. This must be performed by the magician during the act of gathering up the right-hand line of cards, while the subject is distracted by gathering up their own line. Since the cards are gathered into a stack at that point, this is trivially easy.

This does not apply to all versions. For example, Luke Jermay's alternate version, called Out of (t)his World does make use of mentalism methods to subliminally hint the subject to guess correctly. Since the trick is "empowering" to the subject - it implies the subject to have mental powers rather than to be fooled by the performer - it is not difficult to subtly obtain their cooperation.

Before you play a trick, keep in mind to make sure that you have practised your effect and presentation and, at your best, are positive in your public presentation.Good magicians all acknowledge that their principal job is to entertain. So as you practise your effect, present it up with a story or a gag. And when your performance is good, it often distracts the audience from trying to solve the magic trick.
