Yeah, I highly doubt that. It's nearly impossible to even deal a deck in 10 seconds, much less count it.

yah. i agree. thats kinda wierd to count a deck in 10 sec. thats a little toooooooooo fast. anyways right now, i'm trying to learn a new system called omega. do you guys know anymore systems???? i would appreciate it if you guys could help. Thanks!!!! ^_^
There would be no point to counting down a deck in 10 seconds as no dealer will every deal out even close to as fast as that. You need to be able to count down twice as fast as the dealers deal.
Consider a dealer who deals to cards each to a 7 player table in 15 seconds (which is quite fast). That makes 8x2=16 cards. 16 cards in 15 seconds. So let's say the average dealer deals about one card per second. You would need to count at least 2 cards per second to make sure you have little to no errors.
An advantage is that the cards are left on the table so you can wait after the dealers has dealt 2 cards to each player and then count. You can look for combos that cancel out, etc.
Basically you'll need to be able to count a deck down in 25-35 seconds without error.
As for other systems, you can check out a list at THIS site...

I'm intrigued. I know the Hi-Lo (Plus-Minus) system, but I don't gamble, so I really haven't used it.
What I'd like to know is if any sort of card counting method is used in any magic effects? Anyone know of any?

no i dont know any card counting in magic. thanks alot shanku!!!!!!!!!!!! i like the chart! if you want to cheat then you can use the gamblers cop with your hand on the table. IT WORKS!!!! what do you guys think about the gamblers cop to cheat???? i dont really like it but i only do this for fun. lolz
ok guys! thanks alot for helping me out! i'll keep searching for a simple and accurate system.
THANK YOU GUYS!!!! if you guys want to comment then feel free! ^^

There's no completely "accurate" card counting system. The cards won't come in a specific order if you're counting...
I prefer the K-O system because there's a very low chance of making errors. There is no need for true count conversion so that would save you time and effort. Just read up on the various systems and decide which one you like best...
Because most cheats get greedy. A well done card cheat is impossible to detect, but when security notices a pattern emerging, you're as good as busted.
If you really want ot learn more about card cheats, look up Sal Piacente. I attended one of his lectures last night and the man is perhaps the most skilled card cheat you will ever meet. He doesn't even count cards anymore because he knows so many different systems including one for memorizing an entire deck.
i dont really like memorizing decks. its kind of a waste in my opinion. ok, i'll check him out! anyone else have suggestions on what other person i should look up??? plz tell!
You haven't seen Sal work. When you see what he's capable of, you'll quickly change your mind about memorization mentalism.
Keep in mind, that I have never utttered a sentence like the previous in my entire life prior.
so he's really good huh? how would he be good if he memorised a deck??? i'm just wondering. and also, wat does he do other than counting cards?
Sal Piacente is a gambling consultant who helps casinos train their staff in catching cheats. You won't ever get a false shuffle past this guy. Other notable consultants include Darwin Ortiz and Steve Forte.
Wouldn't you be good if you had an entire deck's order memorized and knew the location of every card?
All the best,
TDA
Maybe I didn't make myself clear. He memorized the location of all 52 cards in less than 6 seconds and was able to successfully name them all.
After memorizing the spread, he was then able to shuffle and control the cards to deal himself a royal flush. Does that impress you more?
read my reply on top of your reply. i think its cool. just saying. u know anyone else i can learn about?
