Do as I Do, You Can't is a plot in card magic in which a spectator tries to follow along with the magician, but fails.

Seems to be a creation of U.F. Grant in 1931.

Examples

  • U Can't Do As I Do by U.F. Grant in Encyclopedia of Card Tricks (1937)
  • The Five Cards Do As I Do--You Can't in Greater Magic (1938)
  • Do As I Do--You Can't Unless I want You To by Ed Marlo in Amazing, Isn't It (1941)
  • Vernon's Variant from Dai Vernon's Ultimate Secrets of Card Magic - four cards are repositions and turned over in a specific sequence. The magician ends up with four face down cards, but the follower ends up with one face up. (1967)
