Discuss the physics behind the demonstration, explaining some of the various steps of the demonstration when appropriate. In the simpler case of two stacked cards, there is a sum of torques acting on the top card. On each element of mass in the card, the is a downward force due to gravity. There is a fulcrum created when the top card is slid off center off the bottom card. The top card will remain horizontal if the torque pushing the card onto the bottom card is greater than that pushing the cantilevered portion downward. This analysis can be applied to a several cards stacked in this fashion.

Discussion:

In the simpler case of two stacked cards, there is a sum of torques acting on the top card. On each element of mass in the card, the is a downward force due to gravity. There is a fulcrum created when the top card is slid off center off the bottom card. The top card will remain horizontal if the torque pushing the card onto the bottom card is greater than that pushing the cantilevered portion downward. This analysis can be applied to a several cards stacked in this fashion.
