Cards in the hat

Imagine you have a magic hat that can hold lots of cards inside. Now let's say you have a bunch of playing cards like you use to play Go Fish or Poker. You want to put some of those cards inside the magic hat.

You start by picking a card from the deck and putting it inside the hat, and then you keep doing this over and over again until you have a bunch of cards inside the hat. You could pick any card you want from the deck, like a 2 of hearts or a Queen of spades.

Now, imagine that you want to do a magic trick where you guess what card is inside the hat without looking. One way to do this is to carefully remember every card you put in the hat, and then guess which one you think is inside. This can be hard if you put a lot of cards in the hat or forget which ones you picked.

Another way to do it is to make marks or remember certain features about the cards, like color or suit. This can make it easier to remember which cards are in the hat and guess which one is inside.

Either way, putting cards in a magic hat is a fun way to do magic tricks and entertain your friends. Just remember to keep the hat safe and don't spill the cards everywhere!
