Trick Courtesy of: Brian Reaves (manna@quicklink.net)

Original Author: Unknown

Effect: The magician lets the spectator choose a card, which is memorized and put back into the deck. The magician then puts the deck back into the card box and slips it into his pocket. He then claps his hands and points to a nearby table where an orange is sitting. He tells the spectator to pick up the orange and peel it.

When the spectator peels the orange, they suddenly find a lemon inside! When they peel the lemon, they find their card rolled up in the middle of it. When the magician pulls out the deck and hands it to the spectator, their card is indeed missing from the deck.

Card Trick:

This trick is a double-whammy. First, purchase two decks that are alike. Cut the top (where the green thing is) off the lemon VERY CAREFULLY. Then insert a pencil into the middle of the lemon. When you pull out the pencil, it should leave enough room for a rolled up playing card (provided you roll it up on it's side instead of lengthwise). Now glue the pap back onto the top of the lemon, doing your best to match the grain.

Now take a larger orange and cut four slits into the bottom of it about halfway up. Carefully take a knife or spoon and seperate the meat from the orange peel, doing your best not to tear the peel. When you have the meat out, you should still be able to keep the basic shape of the orange with the peel. Now stick the lemon in and glue the bottom slits of the orange together. In about two hours, the slits won't be quite as noticeable, but you can't wait much longer than that to do the trick or it will turn black around the glue.

Now simply force the card on the spectator and put the deck into your pocket. The extra deck should be in the same pocket (an inside coat pocket is ideal). When the spectator pulls out the card, you pull out the extra deck and let them look for the card. Of course, the card will not be there.

The Four Ace Trick

Original Author: Unknown

Card Trick:

1. First of all you will need to cut the long side of your cards with a pair of scissors. But do not cut the aces.

2. So now every card, except the aces, are narrowed down by about 2 millimeters on both sides.

3. Either you can shuffle the cards or have the victim shuffle them. But it does not matter who shuffles them.

4. Then you say that you will find the four aces in no time at all, What you can to do to make a big deal about it, is have them time you while you find the aces.

5. Pick the deck up, either with your left hand or right hand, it doesn't matter which hand, and square all four sides of the deck.

6. Either drop the cards, throw them, or whatever, and the narrow cards will fall out of your hand, with the aces still in your hand.

7. As you see it, the aces were the only cards you had a hold of securely. The other cards fell out because you did not have a hold of them. And that is the trick.

Find-A-Card

Trick Courtesy of: Jesse Jastram (tmexp@sturgis.com)

Original Author: Unknown

Card Trick:

You need a deck of cards from Las Vegas that have a hole punched through the deck. The hole is usually in the center off to the left a little bit. Make sure all the holes in the cards are lined up so that you can see through the deck. Then tell your spectator to pick a card and memorize it. You then take the card and put in the deck(make sure that the hole is on the right side of the deck) You then can go through the deck and find the card that the hole is off to the side. When you get better at this you can start shuffling the cards but make sure that the holes are lined up when you shuffle. This trick can also be done if you have a deck of cards that the back of them are not symetrical in other words if you lined them all up and one was put in the deck the wrong way.

Egg A la Card

Trick Courtesy of: SCARNE (CliffToy@juno.com)

Original Author: Unknown
Effect: You ask a spectator to think of a number from 10-20. They pick one. Such as 15. You say to the specator. that you will count of 15 cards from the deck. So you do so. Then you say I will add the two digits together. 1+5=6. Then you say. I will subtract that from original number. You subtract 6 cards frome the pile of 15. You end up at a card. You take the card and say this card neither you have seen nor I have seen. You place the card aside. The performer takes an egg and rolls over the card a couple of times. The egg says "shell me". The performer cracks open the egg and finds that the card is printed on the egg. the egg never lies.
Card Trick:
The performer cooses a card before he/she starts the trick. Such as the Ace of Spades. You place the ACE as the 9th card from the top of the deck. Then ask the spectator to choose a number from 10-20. When he chooses a number , the performer adds the two digits then subtracts the it from the original number. The original being 15. 5+1=6. 15-6=9
The 9th card from the top of the pile. You deal off 6 cards from the 15 cards dealt. At the 9th card. The performer knows it but says niether I or you have seen the card.
The trick to getting the egg have the card appear is simple. You have to go to a pharmacy and buy ALUM. This is ammonia aluminum sulfate. You combine 1 once of ALUM with 1 pint of vinegar. This is your solution. This will make enough for 100 eggs sor so . You get a brush and write the card on the egg. PRINT THE LETTERS ON EGG SHELL. Do this and let egg dry until there is no more writing seen on the egg. Then after this, you shall boil the egg for about 10-16 minutes. Preferably 16, take out of boil and cool. You are done with the trick. Have fun.

Caught Red Handed

Trick Courtesy of: Magic Man (magician_man@hotmail.com)

Original Author: Unknown

Effect: A spectator chooses a card from a blue deck and memorizes it. He then places it back into the deck and the deck is shuffled. The performer goes through the deck and explains that the spectator was "caught red handed". The performer comes to a card with a RED back, it is flipped over and it is found to be the spectator's card, with fingerprints all over it!

Card Trick:

First, you need to make a trick card by taking a red deck and pulling out a card. Put ink on your fingers and make finger prints on the face side of the card. Find a blue deck with the same back as the red card. Place the red card second from the bottom in the deck. And put the maching blue card on the top. Now you're ready.

Go through the deck making sure not to show the red back and explain that a crime has been commited. Once the audience is satisfied that all the backs are blue, force the top card by having the spectator cut shallow into the deck, flipping it over, placing it back on the deck, then cut further down and flip it, and once again place it back on top. Now have the spectator take the first face down card you come to in the deck.

Once the spectator has the card and memorizes it, have them place it back in the deck. cut it and place the bottom half on the top one.

Go through the deck and explain; "a crime has been commited here, and "say the name of the spectator " you are the commitie. Place the red back card on the table and have the spectator pick it up. Once they see it's their card, they'll be baffled!

Card Through The Window

Trick Courtesy of: Brian Reaves (manna@quicklink.net)

Original Author: Unknown

Effect: The magician allows the spectator to choose a card. Once they see it, they slip it back into the deck. The magician then shuffles the deck and without warning tosses it against a nearby window. After all the cards settle, one is left sticking to the window. When the spectator goes to peel it off, he finds that it's actually stuck on the OUTSIDE of the window. As the cards are gathered up, the spectator's card is found missing and indeed stuck.

Card Trick:

A real baffler, but a little preparation is necessary. Get an exact duplicate of the card you want to force by buying two alike decks. Put double-sided tape (the clear kind) on the face of the card and stick it to the outside of a window near where you will be presenting the trick.

Now, get your spectator - making sure that their back is to the window AT ALL TIMES. Now force the card on them (using your method) and let them slip it back into the deck. Shuffle the cards, but keep a lookout for the card they chose. When you see it, make it the top card of the deck.

Now, WITHOUT WARNING toss the deck past the spectator to the window. Make sure that you palm the top card before you let go. As the spectator turns to watch the cards fly, slip the palmed card into your pocket.

This one is great, but angles are everything. If they see the card before you toss the deck, the trick is a bust.

magic card trick revealed: Opnick's Dozen

Opnick's Dozen Trick Courtesy of: Opnick (opnick@accel.net) Original Author: Unknown You will need twelve cards, with no more than three of the same value. Arrange them into three piles of four each (make sure there are no doubles in each pile.) Each pile needs to be put into numerical order, from lowest to highest, so when face down the lowest card is on top. Show a spectator the three face down piles, then move the piles around, so there is no way for you to remember what card is where. Get spectator to pick a pile. Fan that pile for spectator to see, and ask them to remember one card from that pile. Ask them to also remember a number from 1-4, depending on the position of the card in its pile -- 1 being the top-most card, 4 being the bottom card. Put the piles on top of each other, with the selected pile on the very top. Deal the cards, from left to right, into three piles (1234, 1234, 1234.) When done, put the pile on the left side on top of the middle pile, and put those on top of the pile on the right. Do the above action (deal the cards, then stack them,) three times total. You can do it fast, and say you are mixing the cards up. When you are finished for the third time, ask the spectator for the 1-4 position of their selected card. Deal that number from the bottom of the pile. The last card you deal is the selected card. Alternate Version: after you stack them for the third time, reverse the order of the cards. Ask spectator for the 1-4 value of the selected card. Deal that number off the TOP of the pile. The last card you deal is their selected card. Present the card in any fashion.

magic card trick revealed: On Tap

On Tap Trick Courtesy of: Matt Sterling (mattwin@hsonline.net) Original Author: Unknown Effect: You lay nine cards onto the table, in a three by three pattern. You ask an accomplice to leave the room, then have a spectator choose one of the cards. When your accomplice returns you will have him identify the exact card chosen by the spectators! Preperation: Get an accomplice, and tell them the trick. 1. Ask your accomplice to leave the room or area. 2. Turn nine cards face down, three by three. 3. Have the spectator(s) pick a card. 4. Once they have chosen a card, have someone tell your accomplice to return. 5. Now you make a series of taps on the cards, anywhere from five to twenty. (You can always change the amount to fool your spectators.) The signal you give your accomplice is where you tap the first card. This tells him/her which is the chosen card. If you tap the first card in the middle, that signifies the middle card in the three by three setup; if you tap the first card in the upper right corner, it signifies the card in the upper right of the setup, and so on. 6. Now all that is left is for your accomplice to amaze the spectators by choosing the exact card. Editor's note: since you are the magician, you might want to perform this as a test of your "mental powers." You say that you will cause someone else to find the correct card.

magic card trick revealed: O'Henry Trick

O'Henry Trick Trick Courtesy of: Alan Coutts (alan.coutts@paisley.ac.uk) Original Author: Unknown Preperation: Before the trick make up a packet containing 20 black cards and one red (we'll say the Queen of Hearts.) Put the red card 10th from the top. Place this packet on top of the rest of the pack. Presentation: In performing the trick say to the audience you will remove a random number of cards from the top of the pack, but remove the top 21 cards placed there earlier and disregard the rest of the pack (you no longer require them). Give the packet of 21 cards to the spectator and turn your back. Tell the spectator to remove between one and ten cards from the top of the packet, count the number to themselves and put these cards into their pocket. You tell the spectator you will predict which card they will choose and write it on a piece of paper. Write down the Queen of Hearts (or whatever the red card was), fold the paper and give it to a member of the audience to hold. Turn back to face the spectator. Deal out from right to left ten cards from the remainder of the packet. Ask the spectator how many cards they have in their pocket and remind them that they had a free choice of between one and ten. Count from left to right the number they tell you. The next card to the right is theirs (it's the Queen.) Open the piece of paper and show your prediction to be correct. To top off the trick ask them to return the cards from their pocket and tell them that not only did they pick the card on the slip of paper, but they chose the only red card in the pack. Show that all the other cards were black.

magic card trick revealed: Obedient Colors

Obedient Colors Trick Courtesy of: Phil Lorenzon (plorenzo@vt.edu) Original Author: Unknown Effect: Two columns are created, a black one and a red one. Cards are drawn one at a time from the bottom of the deck and an audience member chooses whether to put it face down on the red or black column. The column colors are then switched and more cards are placed by the audience. At the conclusion of the trick, all the cards are flipped over and all the colors in each pile are together. Step 1: Place two random cards, one black, one red, face up next to each other. Step 2:Have the bottom of the deck facing you and draw the first red card, ask the spectator if they want it to go on the "Black" or "Red" pile. Place it face down on the pile they choose. Step 3: If the bottom card is black, just tell the spectator you don't like that one, and place it on the top of the pile. Step 4: Continue this practice with as many red cards as you wish. I usually stop when I run into a big section of black cards. Step 5: Take out another red and another black card and place the black card face up on the "Red" pile and the red card on the "Black" pile. The "Red" pile is now the "Black" pile and vice versa. Step 6: Take a few cards off the bottom of the deck making sure they are all black and ask the spectator which column to put it on. Remember to now move the red cards to the top of the pile in your hand. Step 7: When you feel you have enough cards on the table (I usually strive for a total of around 12 - 15) take the very top face-up black card and flip it face down to the bottom of its pile. This puts it with all the other black cards. Step 8: Square up the piles making sure not to mess up the order, and flip the the cards over in order showing the audience that they are all in color order. If you so choose you can have the spectator flip over the second pile. When flipping over the piles, just leave the face up cards face up, they will match the colors.

magic card trick revealed: Number's Game

Number's Game Trick Courtesy of: Oren Krinsky Original Author: Unknown Effect: Through math, you can find out two cards that a person has chosen. Preparation: Make sure all Tens, Jacks , Queens, and Kings have been removed from the deck. (Aces serve as one.) Trick: Have the person you are showing the trick shuffle the cards. Take a group of cards and hold them in your hand, spread out in a fan shape. Ask him/her to pick a card from among them. Tell the person to remember it and to put it back in the deck. Ask them to double the value of the card they picked, then to add 5. Now have them multiply that number by 5. Tell them not to forget this number. Instruct them to look at another card in the deck, and to add its value to the total that they had computed before. They are to tell you the final total of everything. In your head, subtract 25 from the total. The two digits you get are the same as the two cards they chose. Example: they choose a Five, then a Three. 5(doubled) = 10 plus 5 = 15. Multiply times 5 = 75. Three added to total = 78. You subtract 25 = 53. They picked a Five and a Three! Editor's note: try this a few times to get the feel...

magic card trick revealed: Nice and Easy

Nice and Easy Trick Courtesy of: fazboy flai@mail.usyd.edu.au Original Author: Unknown Shuffle deck. Let someone choose any card, memorise it and place on TOP of deck. Behind your back, flip THAT first card over and bring out the whole deck. Hold deck upright, so they see bottom card - don't let them see theirs. With the bottom of the deck showing, ask if that's their card, to which they say no. At the same time you can see what THEIR card is, because you've flipped it over and it's now facing you! Put deck behind your back (be careful they don't see.) Flip their card over again and put it anywhere in deck. Bring out the deck, shuffle it or get them to shuffle, and now you can find their card!

magic card trick revealed: Mystery Ten

Mystery Ten Trick Courtesy of: Erik H. (erich@empnet.com) Original Author: anonyomous Effect: This is a whole story of Seven detectives chasing a murderer (the selected card). Procedure: 1) Take any four of the same face cards out of the deck, usually kings. 2) Shuffle the deck and memorize the bottom card. 3) Fan the cards out and ask the spectator to select one. 4) Tell the spectator to place it on the top of the deck. 5) Ask the spectator to cut the deck. 6) Explain that the card they selected was a murderer and the four face cards you took out were detectives to find him. 7) Look through the deck, the selected card will be after what the bottom card was. 8) Place the four face cards so that they're sticking out of the deck about half way and in the order of: Face Card-Bottom Card-Face Card-Selected Card-Face Card-Card after Selected-Face Card. Explain that the detectives are searching in those places. 9) Fold the deck back up and leave the four cards sticking out. Turn it up side down and hit the four cards against a table. The three alternate cards should all pop up with the selected one in the middle. Say the detectives called on these three guys to help them and show them to the spectator. 10) Take those three cards sticking up and hit them against the table and two face cards should pop up. Hit those against the table and the selected card should pop up. Note: When hitting the cards against a table, hold the deck on the sides, not the face and back. Also, don't hold it too tight or your cards will bend and not work.

magic card trick revealed: Mirror Image

Mirror Image Trick Courtesy of: Jeffrey Winterbourne (winterbg@aol.com) Original Author: Unknown First of all: set up the pack by alternating red, black, red, black through the whole pack. Do this before your audience arrives. Now you are ready to start. 1. Tell a spectator to cut the pack as many times as they want. 2. Have them riffle shuffle it, but once only. 3. You cut the pack between two cards of the same colour. 4. Turn over the top card. If it is red, deal it to your left, face up. If it is black deal it to your right, face up. 5. Deal the next card face down underneath it. Repeat step 4, then this step (5) until the pack is gone. 6. The piles you have are mirror images. The cards underneath the red face up pile are black, and the cards underneath the black face up pile are red. Reveal this to everyone. 7. Take your well deserved bow.

magic card trick revealed: Mind Reader

Mind Reader Trick Courtesy of: James Blackie (lamb4ewe@nbnet.nb.ca) Original Author: Unknown This card trick is very easy but it fools alot of people. 1. Shuffle the deck or get the spectator to shuffle it. 2. Take the card on top of the deck and look at it, without letting the spectator see it, and place it, face-down, in front of him. 3. Ask the spectator to pick a color: red or black. 4. (example: if the card was the Three of Hearts, a RED card.) If the spectator says black, then you say: "Well, that leaves red." If he says red, you say: "Good Choice" 5. Now you ask: "Which suit do you like better, Hearts or Diamonds?" (Remember, the card you looked at is RED.) 6. If the spectator says Hearts, you say: "Good choice." If he says Diamonds, you say: "That just leaves Hearts." Either way, you then say: "Pick five cards in that suit you like the best." 7. If the five cards he picks don't contain your card, say "Okay, now from the remaining cards pick five cards you like the best." 8. If these five cards still don't contain your card, say: "That just leaves three cards." Name the three remaining cards. 9. On the first or second try, five cards will have been selected. On the third try, only three cards. Ask him: "Out of the five (or three) cards which, two do you like the best" 10. (example: out of the five cards 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 he picks the 5 and 6.) You say: "That leaves the 2, 3, and 4." 11. Now you ask him which he likes out of those three. If he says the Three of Hearts, you turn over the card and amaze him! 12.If he does not pick the card, you ask him out of the remaining two, which one he likes the best. If he still doesn't pick it, you say, while turning over the card: "Well that just leaves the Three of Hearts," and you amaze him! The trick seems simple, and you think any one will get it. They don't. Try it on a friend. The trick is this: the spectator gets so caught up in picking everything, he doesn't realize that you are making the choices, so he thinks he picked the card. It amazes him!

magic card trick revealed: Magic Riffle

Magic Riffle Trick Courtesy of: Pjorge@dcci.com Original Author: Unknown Effect: Performer shuffles the deck and then riffles through it (see below.) A spectator is asked to say stop before the end of the deck is reached. The performer separates the deck at that point, shows the card to the audience (without looking) and "guesses" the card. The Riffle: Hold deck horizontally, place thumb on bottom of deck, and middle, ring, and index fingers on top of deck. Place unused hand around deck with thumb on the back of the deck (not the bottom, the back...) Pull top of deck back with top fingers and smoothly lift fingers from top of deck so the cards flip forward one by one. The Trick: The trick is in the initial shuffle. When you shuffle, note the bottom card. As they tell you to stop while riffling, separate the cards, but use your thumb to pull the bottom card out, along with the top half of the deck. Hold the chosen half up, facing the audience. Don't look at the card. Tell them the card that you saw when you shuffled. That is their card. When they ask you to do it again, which they will, do it without looking at the deck. That will amaze them. This trick takes a bit of practice, but once mastered, makes an awesome sleight of hand trick.

magic card trick revealed: Magical Cut

Magical Cut Trick Courtesy of: Richard Sylveste (CuznTybalt@AOL.com) Original Author: Rick Artola Effect: Begin the trick by what I call riffling the deck. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, see below.) Tell the spectator to say stop. Where you stop you cut the deck. The card on top of the bottom pile is the spectator's card. Tell the spectator to look at the card and put it back where it was. You put the top half of the deck back on top of their card. Now you lay the cards face up so you can see them all. You pick a card and that is the spectator's. Card Trick: The trick is really simple. It makes some people laugh at how simple it is. (Editor's note: but DON'T tell them!). All you do is this: while they look at their card, turn the top pile you cut over so that you can see the face of that card. Then you'll know that the card you're looking for is right next to it. It is always best to do this innocently so the spectator doesn't suspect anything. You don't have to lay the cards face up - it is good to customize this effect for yourself. I recommend you pretend to get it wrong the first time, to fool the spectator. Riffling the deck: Hold the deck in your left hand, in the normal position for dealing. Place your right ring, middle, and index finger on the edge of the cards that is facing outward. Place your right thumb on the middle of the top card. With your right fingers, starting at the bottom of the deck quickly brush your fingers up.

magic card trick revealed: Lucky 13

Lucky 13 Trick Courtesy of: Dennis.Williams@ncx.com Original Author: Unknown Effect: The magician takes a fresh deck of cards out of the box and shuffles them to demonstrate that they are in no particular order. He deals the cards into a bunch of piles, until the deck is cleared. There are 13 piles, and when he is done each of them contains all four cards of each suit! Card Trick: The cards must be a fresh deck with the Jokers removed. Make sure the deck is in order like A,2,3... of each suit. When you shuffle, you do it end over end. Actually, you are just cutting the deck every time. You must do it thirteen times. (Make sure you count it to yourself, not out loud.) Deal out thirteen cards. Once you are at thirteen go back to one and repeat. Do this until the deck is done, and you have thirteen piles of four cards each. Tap the cards, or make some other magical gesture, and flip over each pile. They are all together!

magic card trick revealed:The Lazy Magician

The Lazy Magician Trick Courtesy of: (schary@vnet.ibm.com) Original Author: Unknown Effect: The spectator is given the cards, which they may shuffle as much as they want. While the magician's back is turned, the spectator looks at the top card, and replaces it back on the top. The spectator is asked to place as many cards as the top card (King is 13, Queen is 12 and so on..) from the bottom to the top (still behind the magician's back). The magician turns around and takes the deck and finds the card! Card Trick: This works based on a mathematical principle. All the magician does is start with the second card from the top, and counts mentally as one, two, and so on, going down through the deck. The spectator's card will be at the same number as the card value that matches the magician's count! There are better methods of revealing the result, however. To the Reader: For this trick to work you have to know the number that the spectator has counted. To do this you can simply tell them to count out loud.

magic card trick revealed:Kings Robbery

Kings Robbery Trick Courtesy of: Michael Drzakowski (mdrzakow@mail.win.org) Original Author: anonyomous 3 Robbers & a Cop Variation The 3 Theives Variation Start out by telling a story of four king thieves (have the Kings separated from the rest of the deck). One day the kings decide to rob their local Famous Store. The four kings fly their helicopter to the roof and begin to devise their plans. (As you say this, place the four Kings on the top of the deck.) The first king says, "I'll take the clothes from the first floor" (Place the King on the bottom of the deck). The next king says, "Okay, I'll rob the second floor (Place the King somewhere in the middle, but near the bottom." The third king says, "Then I'll rob the third floor (Place the King somewhere above the second, but not on top.) The fourth king says, "I'll be the lookout. If I see some police coming, I'll whistle and you should all come up to the roof." The kings begin to rob the store. However, the king on the roof sees the cops are starting to surround the store. So he gives the whistle (whistle - or scream or something, if you can't whistle) and the four kings all run up to the roof and fly away in their helicopter to safety (take the four cards off the top, one by one, revealing the four Kings!) How it's done: The whole trick is done right at the very beginning. Along with the four Kings you place on the top of the deck, you also place three other cards on top of those. When you show the Kings, keep the others hidden behind them, so it looks like there's only four Kings. When you put these together and put them on the "roof," and then move the three Kings to the various parts of the building, you're actually moving those three cards.

magic card trick revealed: Keith's Trick

Keith's Trick Trick Courtesy of: Keith Johnston Original Author: Unknown Prepration: Find a volunteer (One who won't mess up the trick). Teach him about the trick. Inform him not to tell anyone about your secret code (see below.) Trick: Split the deck into several piles. Leave the room. While you are out of the room your assistant will tell a person to pick a card from one of the piles. They call you back into the room. The assistant will have spread out the pile, face down, on the table. Next have the assistant point to various cards. When the assistant points to the chosen card he will point to the middle of the card, while on every other card he will point to its corner. When you see him point to the middle of a card, you'll know it is the selection. Wait until he points to a couple more cards, then tell him to stop. Flip the correct card face up. Listen for applause.

magic card trick revealed:Kathy's Prediction

Kathy's Prediction Trick Courtesy of: Melissa Smith (msmith1@students.miami.edu) Original Author: anonyomous Shuffle a deck of cards. Place the top card face up on the table and look at its number (Jacks, Queens, and Kings all equal 10.) Put enough cards on top of the card to make the total 10. For example if a 4 is showing, then you would put 6 more cards on top of it. Put the cards on so that all are face up. Keep making piles like this, until the deck is used up. If there are remaining cards that do not exactly equal 10, hold onto them. Ask someone in the audience to choose three piles, each with three or more cards in it, and flip them face down. Pick up the rest of the piles. Count 19 cards from those in your hand, and place them to the side, as they are unnecessary for the rest of the trick. Ask the volunteer to flip the top card of any of the three piles over, so that it is face up. From the cards in your hand, take the number of cards that corresponds to the number of the card flipped over. For example if a 5 is flipped over, count five cards from your hand and place them aside. Repeat this for one of the other piles. Now count out how many cards are in your hand, and tell the audience that this is the number of the top card of the final pile. Have the volunteer flip that card over. The number always matches. (Editor's note: to make this trick seem less "mathematical," don't just count the final cards and say that is the number. Instead, have your volunteer put the cards from your hand onto the last pile. While they do this, you can quickly count the cards in your hand. Now make a production of how you announce the final number.)

magic card trick revealed: The Hotel

The Hotel Trick Courtesy of: Robert Collier (lalalalalala@Juno.com) Original Author: Unknown The Motel & Royal Hotel Description: A story is acted out with the cards. 1. You must have the four Queens on the top of the deck, four Jacks below the Queens, four Kings below the Jacks, and four Aces below the Kings. 2.)Deal out the Queens, face up, in four different piles, while saying, "Four girls went to a hotel. Each stayed in a different room." 3.) Deal out the Jacks onto the same four piles, while saying, "They needed their baggage, so they called up four bellboys." 4.) Deal the four Kings onto the piles, while saying, "Four desk clerks came in." 5.) Finally, deal the four Aces, while saying, "The girls panicked because they thought the clerks were burglars, so they called the police." 6.) Set the rest of the deck aside. Put the piles together. Tell one of the audience members to cut the cards. 7.) Deal the cards into four face up piles, again. Viola! They have returned to their proper places!

magic card trick revealed:Haphazard Cards

Haphazard Cards Trick Courtesy of: Frankus (frankus@juno.com ) Original Author: Unknown Holding a deck of cards face down in your left hand, take a small bunch of cards with your right. Turn the cards in your right hand face up, and put them on top of the cards in your left. Square up the deck. Grab all of the face up cards and a bunch more from your left hand. Take this new stack of cards, turn it over and place it back on those in your left hand. Continue this process until you've exhausted the entire deck. The cards now appear to be hopelessly mixed, face up and face down. The cards are really just divided into two halves, facing each other. (But don't tell the spectators this.) Find the place where the two piles come together, and separate them. Put the piles on the table and give them one quick riffle shuffle. (The kind where you flip the edges of the cards so they interlace.) Now spread the cards out, to show they have been magically restored to order!

magic card trick revealed:The Four 2's Jive

The Four 2's Jive Trick Courtesy of: Nick@Empire.net Original Author: Nick Locapo Effect: Deck is shuffled, and a spectator cuts in half. Spectator chooses one cut portion and performer takes the other. Both spectator and performer hold cards behind their back and select a card. The cards selected are then exchanged and placed face up behind the back. This is repeated one more time. When done, both people bring out their pile and spread them out. All four Two's will be face up. Preparation: Put the four Two's in your back pocket. Do this where no one can see you. Card Trick: Put the four Two's in your back pocket. Do this where no one can see you. 1) Shuffle deck. Let spectator cut in half and choose a pile; you take the other pile. 2) Tell spectator to do exactly what you do. 3) Put cards behind back, have spectator do the same. (You secretly take the four Two's from your pocket and put them on the top of your pile.) 4) Both of you select a card (you pick the top Two). 5) Then you exchange cards with out looking at them. 6) Tell spectator to put it, behind her back, face up, anywhere in the deck. 7) As she does this, put the spectator's card on the bottom of your pile, take a Two from the top and put it face up anywhere. 8) Repeat steps 4-7 one more time. 9) Then bring the cards out. Join the two halves together. Spread the cards to show all four Two's face up! Editor's Note: If you like, you can have the Two's on top of the deck. In this case, YOU make the cut, and give the bottom half to the spectator. Then proceed as above. Getting the Two's in place can be done while you're ending another trick.

magic card trick revealed: Four Kingdoms

Four Kingdoms Trick Courtesy of: Larry Dennis LARRY@fsulcd.physics.fsu.edu Original Author: Unknown Kings Family Variation Kings Party Variation This card trick seems magical, but it's not. To perform, separate all of the Aces, Kings, Queens and Jacks from a deck of cards. The rest of the cards will not be used. Begin the trick by telling this story of the greatest and most powerful wizard. Once upon a time there were four kingdoms. In each kingdom there was a beautiful castle. (Put down the four Aces, face-up, in a row, next to each other.) In each castle lived a wise and just King. (Put down the four Kings: the King of spades on the Ace of spades, each of the other Kings on the Ace of the same suit.) Each King was married to an equally wise and just Queen. (Put down the four Queens, the Queen of spades on the King of spades, etc.) One year to each family was born a healthy, happy child, and all seemed right with the world. (Put down the four Jacks, the Jack of spades on the Queen of spades, etc.) And the greatest and most powerful wizard saw just how good things were and said, "Great! Now I can take that vacation to Disney World and visit the Florida Keys to soak up some sun." And so he began to pack. (While you are saying this, pick up the four piles and place them one on top of the other.) In the mean time the evil wizard, Morganus, was conjuring up an evil spell to be cast on the four kingdoms. Once the good wizard left, Morganus didn't waste any time. He chanted, "Mouse tails, bat's eyes, blood from a rat. Mix it together in a great big vat." (While saying this, deal the cards into four face-down piles, one card for each word.) His spell took hold of the four kingdoms and, leaving no stone unturned, he cast them to the four winds. (While saying this arrange the four piles in a diamond shape.) The results were devastating. The children became lost in the forests, the Kings and Queens wandered aimlessly in the desert, and the castles were empty. (While saying this turn over the four piles to show the piles of all Aces, Kings, Queens, and Jacks.) But soon the greatest, most powerful and most rested wizard returned, and he saw what Morganus had done. "This just cannot go on!" he said. And he cast his spell. It worked a magic much more powerful - it gathered in the Kings and Queens, children, and castles from the four corners of the earth. (While saying this, pick up the four piles and lay them on top of each other.) And he said, "Morganus is in trouble if ever he's sighted. But these families four will soon be united." (While saying this, deal the cards into four face-down piles, placing one card for each word.) And the wizard proclaimed that all was right in the kingdoms. (While saying, turn over the four piles to reveal the four united families.) Note: with some practice you can cut the cards during the trick, but you have to make sure that you only cut the deck after card #4 or 8.

magic card trick revealed:Four Islands

Four Islands Trick Courtesy of: (FigDish13@aol.com) Original Author: Unknown Effect: There are four islands in an ocean. Each has a king, queen, a son named Jack (the Jack will be used,) and a dog named Ace (the Ace will be used.) One day, a hurricane storms through the ocean, creating complete chaos and wiping everything on the islands away. Finally, each king lands on his own island, each queen on her own island, etc. Card Trick: To perform this trick, you need to remove all Kings, Queens, Jacks, and Aces. Create four "rows" of cards going down as you would in solitaire. Each row should have a King, Queen, Jack, and Ace all of one suit. Explain the setting as you set them up on their islands. When you tell about the hurricane, sweep the cards up from the bottom of the "island" (the Ace) up. Do this to each row, in order from left to right. Hold the cards face down. The order will be King, Queen, Jack, Ace (of each suit.) Have a member of the audience cut the small deck in half, and complete the cut (top half of deck goes beneath the bottom half.) This may be done with several audience members. Don't let them make more than one cut at a time. Now just deal them out, one at a time, onto their four different islands (four piles.) If you have done it right, each island will have all of one type of card.

magic card trick revealed:Find The Card The Easy Way

Find The Card The Easy Way Trick Courtesy of: Larry Dennis LARRY@fsulcd.physics.fsu.edu Lucky Guess Variation 11th Card Variation Sim Sala Bim Variation In this trick 16 cards are placed face up on a table, in four rows of four cards. Ask a spectator to pick a card in his mind, and to tell you only the vertical column in which the card is located. Gather up the cards, making sure to pick the fourth vertical column first. (Take the top card in your hand, face up. Pick up the second card and put it onto the first card. The third card goes on these, and then the fourth.) Place those four cards face down in a pile. Next pick up the third vertical column and place it on top of the pile. Repeat this for the second and first columns. Next deal out the cards in four rows of four, only this time make sure that the first four cards go into the top row, the second four cards go into the second row and so on. You must remember which column (1,2,3 or 4) contained the card. By remembering this you now know which horizontal row contains the chosen card. Ask the spectator to again state which vertical column (1,2,3 or 4) contains his card. The intersection of this column with the original row is the spectator's card. You can pick out the card immediately. In this case the spectator's answers provide us the final row and column of the card. Most people will see through the magic in this trick in a hurry, though it might remain a mystery to first graders for a long time.

magic card trick revealed: ESP

ESP Trick Courtesy of: JJ Jones (jj@vt.edu) Original Author: Unknown You will need someone to act as your assistant for this. Have your assistant leave the room during the first part. Nine cards are laid out, face down, in three rows of three. (eh: You can have them choose a card by the method in Find The Card The Easy Way.) Once a card has been selected, have someone call your assistant back in. When the assistant returns, you are holding the rest of the deck in your left hand. Your thumb will represent which card was chosen. Example: if the spectator chooses the card in the middle, when the assistant returned, your thumb would be directly in the middle of the deck. You will have to do this once for the row the card is in, and again for the column. The trick is to be VERY DISCRETE when holding the deck. Shuffle the deck a little so as not to draw attention to yourself. Keep a serious look on your face, and stare at the assistant, as if you actually had ESP. Let your assistant reveal the chosen card.

magic card trick revealed: easy pick

Easy Pick Trick Courtesy of: ehillsman (ehillsman@mindspring.com) Original Author: Unknown Use any full deck and its case. Allow a friend to shuffle the cards. Tell him/her to keep one of the cards, look at it, and give the rest back to you. Then you place the rest of the cards in the case, but leave the flap open. Ask the friend to put the card back inside of the deck. The secret to this trick is holding the case. You prevent the card from going in all the way: tighten your grip on the case, while the friend is trying to put the card in the deck. (Don't grip it too hard or the card will not be able to go in at all.) Turn your back and pull out the card that is different from the rest. It should be sticking out very slightly. Take it out and reveal the card. If you pull the deck halfway out of the case it will be easier for you to know which card is theirs.

magic trick revealed:Do It Yourself Discovery

Do It Yourself Discovery Trick Courtesy of: Rocky (ronny@popnet.net) Original Author: Unknown Effect: The spectator discovers his own card in a mysterious manner. Card Trick: Have the spectator shuffle the cards, take half the deck and give the rest to you. "Now," you say, "while I turn my back, pick out a card, look at it, show it to everybody, and put it back on top of your pile." Turn away and secretly turn the bottom card and the second card from the top face up. When the spectator is done turn back. Tell the spectator to hold out his cards and place your pile on top of his. Even up the cards, and then direct him to place his arm behind his back saying, "Now I want to perform a little experiment with the cards behind your back." Make sure that no one can see what happens behind the spectator's back and that he does not bring the cards forward. Say this to the spectator: "Take the top card ... no, put that onto the bottom, so that you know I'm not trying to fool you. "Have you done that? All right take the next card, turn it over, and stick it in the middle. Even up the cards." Have the spectator bring the cards forward. Take the deck and run through the cards until you come to the face up card. Ask the spectator to name his card. Turn over the next card. "As you can see you located your card yourself." Tips: once in a great while the spectator will stick the card between the face up card and the chosen card. When you turn up the wrong card simply say: "You missed it by one," and turn up the next card.

magic trick revealed:Deck Predictor

Deck Predictor Trick Courtesy of: (codring@uwindsor.ca) Original Author: Unknown Effect: After mixing the deck of cards, the performer asks a spectator to cut the deck that is in his left hand. The spectator then places the top portion of the cards on the performer's right hand. The spectator is asked to take the top card off the portion in the performer's left hand. The spectator looks at the card without showing the performer. The performer uses his mind reading capability to tell what card has been chosen. Card Trick: Rigging the deck before hand: Place the cards in four piles starting with Spades then Hearts, Clubs, and finally Diamonds. Each of these piles should then be arranged, face up, in order from King on the bottom to Ace on top. Now starting with the Spades count back until the King is showing (bottom card is now Queen then Jack, Ten etc) Next take the Hearts and count back in the same manner until the Ten of Hearts is on top. For the Clubs you need the Seven on top, and the Diamonds will have the Four on top. One more step to complete. Take the King of Spades from its pile, turn it face down, and start a new pile. Onto this put the face down Ten of Hearts, then the Seven of Spades, and finally the Four of Diamonds. Continue to place the top cards in the same order of suits on the new pile until all the cards are placed into one pile. This completes the rigging of the deck. Action: Now practice your mind reading skills. Have someone cut the deck (as above) and take the top card off the left pile. You place the right half of the deck under the left half. While doing so, take a glance at the bottom card without making it obvious. Mentally count three cards up from the card you see on the bottom of the deck, and this is the value of card that was chosen. As for the suit, if a Spade is showing on the bottom then the card chosen is a Diamond. (Example: Six of Hearts is the bottom card, then the Nine of Spades is the chosen card; Ten of Clubs is on the bottom, then the King of Hearts is the chosen card. Tips - Always tell the spectator to place the chosen card back on top of the deck after the trick is completed. Mix the cards each time you perform the trick, by cutting the deck in half, so as to appear to shuffle but not to actually change the order. If the audience asks to see the cards, flip them over and quickly run through them, as they appear to be in random order. Don't let the audience shuffle the deck. Once you have completed the trick a couple of times, really shuffle the deck well and hand it to them. While doing this trick, you might first make a "mistaken" guess to throw the audience off, after all, it's 80% your game, 20% your trick.

magic trick revealed:Abracadabra This is Your Card!

Abracadabra This is Your Card! Trick Courtesy of: matthew-j@usa.net Original Author: Unknown 1. Shuffle the deck. When you are done, square up the deck using a table to aid you. During this, glance quickly at the bottom card. REMEMBER this card. 2. Get an audience member to draw a random card from the deck. 3. Have them memorize it, then place it on the top of the deck. 4. Ask the audience member to cut the deck and complete the cut. At this point the chosen card should be directly below the card you remembered. 5. Turn the deck horizontally and shuffle the deck using the Overhand Shuffle. A fast Overhand Shuffle usually will not separate the two cards. Don't riffle shuffle - this could separate the remembered card from the chosen card. 6. Spread out the deck, right to left, face up, on the table. Your card will be just to the right of the spectator's card. 7. Take hold of the spectator's hand at the wrist. (Be sure to tell them you're going to do this!) Have them point their index finger. Move their hand over the spread out deck. When you see your remembered card, move their hand to the card at the right of it and DROP their hand. All other cards should scatter leaving their finger on the chosen card. You can also reveal the card in other ways too.

magic trick revealed:Cut To It

Cut To It Trick Courtesy of: Ittay (Ittay@cs.huji.ac.il) Original Author: Unknown Abracadabra This is Your Card !! Variation Effect: The spectator picks a card, puts it on the top of the deck, cuts the deck, and the magician finds the card. How it's done All you have to do is have a glimpse at the bottom card of the deck. Ask the spectator to take any card. After he does, ask him to put it on top of the deck, and to do a complete cut of the deck, putting the bottom part of the deck onto the top. You count off the cards from the top, flipping them face up until you reach what used to be the bottom card. The next one is the chosen card.

magic trick revealed:Count Down

Count Down Trick Courtesy of: Du Vong (dkv94001@uconnvm.uconn.edu ) Original Author: Unknown Trick Description: You shuffle the deck several times and then ask a person to tell you when to STOP when they think you drop ten cards. You then count the correct amount of cards actually dropped. You then tell them to memorize the top card and put it back into the deck shuffling anyway they want to. You then fan all the cards out in a spiral towards the middle and pick their card out for them. How Its Done 1. Shuffle the card deck a lot, memorizing the bottom card. Depending on the war you shuffle, you should be able to keep a certain card always on the bottom. I usually lead with the right hand first so that is always the bottom card no matter how many times you shuffle. If you lose the card, keep shuffling until you memorize the bottom card. 2. Since you now know what the bottom card really is, it is a simple job getting the other person to pick the card. When you drop cards, no matter how many you drop, you should count the DROPPED cards back to them and eventually the bottom card will be on top. 3. After they shuffle and give the cards back to you, throw the cards out in a pattern to confuse them, then show them their card. (I like to confuse them even more by throwing out about 10-20 more than the one they actually pick and then say "Is this your card?". Since they will say no... dig through the stack and get the real one.

magic trick revealed:Chased

Chased Trick Courtesy of:Michelle (michelle@insyte.com) Original Author: Unknown Effect: To guess someone's card by memorizing order of deck. Preperation Before the performance, set the cards in this order: 8, K, 3, 10, 2, 7, 9, 5, Q, 4, A, 6, J. Also in suit order: Clubs, Hearts, Spades, Diamonds. To remember numeric order simply memorize this: "8 kings threatened to save 95 queens 4 1 sick knave*." To remember the suit order, use CHaSeD (Clubs, Hearts, Spades, Diamonds.) Card Trick: When someone picks a card, sneak a peek at the card above it. Now you should know what their card is. You can also let them return their card, and look for a card out of place. Editor's note: "knave " is an old word for knight, which is the same here as the Jack. This trick will take a lot of practice, but you'll have a real mystery when you get good at it!)

magic trick revealed:The Changing Ace

The Changing Ace Trick Courtesy of: Erich Gaul Original Author: Unknown Effect: You hold the Ace of Clubs, Diamonds, and Spades, spread out like a fan so that everyone can see them. You turn them face down, have someone tap them three times (the "magic" number,) turn them face up, and the Ace of Diamonds has now amazingly changed to the Ace of Hearts! Card Trick: You say you are holding the Ace of Diamonds, but you are really holding the Ace of Hearts. When you fan out the cards make sure that the Ace of Hearts is upside down so the point of the heart is up. Put it in the middle, but on the bottom, with the other two overlapping it enough so only a red diamond shape shows in its center. It will seem to be the Ace of Diamonds. Turn the cards face down and have someone tap them three times. Lay the cards down, separately, one at a time, and it appears that the Ace has changed!

magic trick revealed:The Bottom Card

The Bottom Card Trick Courtesy of: UNC (lucie@nbnet.ca) Original Author: Unknown Effect: You guess the bottom card without even looking at it (or so your audience thinks.) Presentation: 1. Look at the bottom card of the deck. 2. Shuffle the cards but not the bottom one. Leave the bottom card on the bottom. You can tell everyone that you aren't a very good shuffler. 3. Place the deck face down on the table. 4. Name four numbers in the deck (making sure that the card on the bottom is amongst them.) Have a spectator choose two of the numbers. 5. Let's say your card is a Four and you named a Three, Five, Four, and Nine. They picked the Five and Nine. Say, OK pick out of the Three and Four. If they say three say okay then the bottom card is a Three. 6. Now tell them to pick two of the four suits. If your card is a Four of Spades and they pick Hearts and Diamonds, tell them to pick one out of Spades and Clubs. If they say Spades say OK the card should be a Three of Spades. 7. Now turn over the deck and your audience will be amazed. 8. Remember the object of the trick is to get the person to pick the card on the bottom of the deck, so make sure you lead them to the right numbers and suits.

magic trick revealed:Back Flip

Back Flip Trick Courtesy of: Per Berge (per@calweb.com) Original Author: Unknown This is a very simple trick, and works best on kids, but it can be made to look pretty impressive. EFFECT: Audience member picks a card, which the magician does not see. The audience member inserts the card back into the deck. Next the magician drops the card onto a table top, and the card jumps out of the deck, face up! HOW IT'S DONE: -Shuffle the deck so that everyone can see you are not preparing the deck in any way. (Don't comment on this, just do it.) - Fan out the cards in your hand, and have someone pick a card. - While they look at the card, you do two quick, easy maneuvers: 1) Quickly move the top card to the bottom, while flipping it face up. You're left with a deck with the bottom card upside down. 2) Turn the whole deck over. You're left with an upside down deck, but because the (now) top card is reversed, it looks like a regular deck. - Now hold the deck out (make sure you don't fan the cards at all - you don't want to reveal that you're really holding onto an upside down deck.) Have them insert their card. - Turn around (yeah, this part is kinda cheesy, but it works fine, especially on kids.) Turn the top card back over so it faces the same as the rest of the deck. Scan through the deck to find the upside down card that the audience member just inserted. - Here's the BIG FINALE, that really makes this trick worth it: put the card on top of the deck, and hold onto the deck from above. You are about to drop it, flatly, onto a table top. BUT slide the top card back off the deck by a quarter-inch (this will be covered by your hand). Then, drop the deck from about two feet up. The deck will hit the table, and the top card (the selected card) will flip over. This is a real crowd-pleaser. - An alternative ending is NOT to turn around, but just to move the deck back to right-side-up, while moving the inverted top/bottom card back to its former position. Now, you put the deck down, do some Hocus Pocus and tell them you just made their card flip over, inside the deck. Fan the deck out, and their card is the only one reversed (it's actually better if you put the deck upside down and fan it out, so the chosen card is the only one that's right side up) However, a smart audience member will quickly figure you out this way, just because you mentioned "reversed" - it kinda gives them a clue... Ending Variation Instead of the last three steps tell the person to imagine their card flipping over backwards, then go through the deck and show them the card. (But be careful not to show the bottom card!)

magic trick revealed:Appearing Card

Appearing Card Trick Courtesy of: Matt Original Author: Unknown Effect: A spectator picks a card out of a shuffled deck. You put it with three random cards, place the cards at the bottom of the deck, and shuffle. You take three cards from the bottom of the deck and ask the spectator if any of those are his. None are. These are laid on the table, one of the cards is flipped over, and the selection appears on the table. How It's Done: Ask a person to shuffle the cards and then choose one card. Have them give you the deck. Take three cards from the bottom. Tell the spectator to put their card on top of those three, then to place the four cards at the bottom of the deck. Shuffle the deck, but be sure to keep the four bottom cards in the same spot. (Editor's note: There are false shuffles explained on the Terminology Page.) Shuffle the cards a couple of times. Now take the first bottom card and place it face down on the table. Take the new bottom card and put it at the top of the deck. Place the other two bottom cards face down on the table. The last card you put down is the spectator's card. Be sure you have that card at the top of the tabled pile. Set the rest of the deck aside. Pick up the tabled cards. Square them up, and hold them so the spectator can see the face of just the bottom card. Ask if this is their card. They will say no. Lower the cards so they are in dealing position and quickly deal the top card (actually their card) onto the table. If you do this naturally, without comment, they will think you dealt the card you just showed them. Show them the top card from those in your hand, and ask if it is theirs. Again they will say no. Lay this card on the table. Finally, show them the last card in your hand and ask if it's the selection. When they say no, put this card onto the other two. Ask them what their card was. When they tell you, use the other two cards (like a spatula) to flip their card face up on the table. You have made their card appear!

magic trick revealed:All The Aces

All The Aces Trick Courtesy of: Kelvin Nishikawa (kelvin@mindless.com ) Effect: The spectator cuts the deck into four piles. From each pile three random cards are dealt onto each of the other piles. The top card of each pile is turned over to reveal all four Aces. Preparation: Put all four aces onto the top of the deck. Procedure: 1) Tell the spectator to cut the deck into two piles. Once he has done that, have them divide the two piles into four. 2) We will call the piles numbers one to four; four being the top pile with the Aces. (Don't tell the spectator these numbers. They are just for us to keep track of things.) 3) Have the spectator pick up pile one, put the top three cards onto the bottom, and deal the (now) top three cards onto the other piles (two, three, and four. One card to each pile.) 4)The spectator continues, in order, to do the same with the other piles. (You just point to each pile, when you want them to use it.) 5)There IS no 5, you're done! Just turn over the top cards to reveal the Aces! Afterthought: This would be a good trick to precede the Acrobatic Aces.

magic trick revealed:After Drinks

After Drinks Trick Courtesy of: Per Berge (per@calweb.com) Original Author: Unknown This is a GREAT trick. And it's REALLY EASY. It is "detectable," but you get away with it most of the time. If people have had a drink or two, this is an incredible trick -- they'll think you're David Copperfield or something... EFFECT: The audience is given two random cards. They look at them, but the magician doesn't see them. The audience inserts the cards into the deck, and without shuffling, the magician throws the deck into a chair, but somehow manages to pick up the two cards, holding them up in front of the gaping audience members. HOW IT'S DONE: This is a trick of the mind. - You prepare the deck this way: pick two cards of different suits, but the same color, such as the Eight of Spades, and the Three of Clubs. These are the cards you are going to give to the audience. Next, pick the "opposites" of the cards: the Eight of Clubs, and the Three of Spades. These are the cards you will fool your audience with. Put the opposite cards at the top and bottom of the deck - Eight of Clubs on top, Three of Spades on bottom. And the "real" cards both go on top. - Without too much explanation, deal the two top cards out, face down, and let the audience look at them. Next, let them insert the cards back into the deck. - Make sure they can see that you're not doing ANYTHING to the deck. Hold the deck between your thumb on top, and your fingers on the bottom. Swing the deck back and forth a few times (make SURE they can't see the bottom card, though!) Perhaps you count 1, 2, 3, and then throw the deck into a chair (or couch, or something, where it'll be easy to pick up.) As you throw the deck, hold onto the top and bottom card with your thumb and middle finger. IMMEDIATELY hold the cards up for all to see. - It helps if you position yourself so that the audience doesn't turn their heads around to watch where you threw the cards. You should be close to the chair you throw the deck into, so you can draw their attention back to the two cards you held onto. - They picked the Eight of Spades, Three of Clubs - but you are holding the Eight of Clubs, Three of Spades.

spelling bee

Spelling Bee Trik Courtesy of: Preston Edmands (spire@cybertours.com) Original Author: Unknown Efek: Si penyihir mengaduk-aduk dek dan mengambil tiga belas atas kartu. Memegang kartu menghadap ke bawah, ia melanjutkan dengan mengeja nama kartu pertama, Ace. "ACE," dan untuk setiap huruf, dia meletakkan satu kartu di bawah paket tiga belas kartu. Dia kemudian membalik ke kartu berikutnya (keempat,) dan itu adalah Ace. Ia mengulangi proses ini untuk setiap nomor kartu, Ace melalui Raja. Pada akhirnya, ia memiliki semua tiga belas kartu tertutup di atas meja, di berurutan.

Editor's note: untuk menambah misteri, jangan gunakan kartu semua setelan yang sama. Sebuah kelompok campuran cocok membuatnya tampak kurang seperti "ditumpuk" dek.

magic trick revealed:Spelling Bee

Spelling Bee Trick Courtesy of: Preston Edmands (spire@cybertours.com) Original Author: Unknown Effect: The magician shuffles the deck and takes the top thirteen cards. Holding the cards face down, he proceeds to spell the first card name, Ace. "A-C-E," and for each letter, he puts one card under the packet of thirteen cards. He then flips over the next card (the fourth,) and it is an Ace. He repeats this process for each card number, Ace through King. At the end, he has all thirteen cards face up on the table, in sequential order. Preperation: Remove and arrange 13 cards in the following setup, top card down: Three, Eight, Seven, Ace, Queen, Six, Four, Two, Jack, King, Ten, Nine, and Five. Put these on top of the deck. Presentation: The trick almost works itself. To start, pretend to shuffle the cards, leaving the top thirteen untouched. Remove the top thirteen cards as a group and arrange them like a fan, so that your audience can see their faces. Square up the cards, and hold them face down. When you spell out each card, do it as follows: let's say you're spelling the word ACE. Spell A, remove the top card and place it on the bottom. Then spell C, and remove the top card and place that on the bottom. Next spell E, remove this top card and place it on the bottom. Flip the new top card and show that it's an Ace, and place it on the table. Continue in this manner until all the cards are face up on the table. (eh: You spell the cards in order: Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K) Your audience may realize that the cards must have been set up beforehand, but this only adds to the mystery - and you can treat it as a puzzle for them to try to figure out. Editor's note: to add to the mystery, don't use cards all of the same suit. A mixed group of suits makes it seem less like a "stacked" deck.

magic trick revealed:The Self-Arranging Deck

Trick Courtesy of: John Mefford (jmefford@juno.com) Original Author: Unknown First, separate all the cards by suit. Line up each suit in this order: Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K. Next stack the packets on top of each other. Starting with the top card, deal off 21 cards, making sure that when you lay them down they stay in the same EXACT order. (Normally when you deal, you pile the cards one by one onto each other. This reverses their order. You cannot do that this time.) Put the 21 cards on the bottom of the pile that's left over. Now have somebody cut the deck at any spot, 9 times. Make sure all of them are complete cuts or the trick won't work. After they have finished, deal the cards into thirteen piles. Start at one side, left or right, and deal thirteen cards across. Deal the next thirteen onto those. Repeat this two more times, until all 52 cards have been dealt. After you are done have someone turn over all thirteen piles. Each pile will have the same card denomination in it.

magic trick revealed:Number's Game

magic trick revealed:Easy Eights

Easy Eights Trick Courtesy of: Ed Stowell (stowell@students.uiuc.edu ) Original Author: Unknown You will need someone to be an accomplice in this trick. Arrange eight cards in the pattern of the symbols on the face of an eight. One of the eight cards must be an eight. While you look away, have a spectator choose a card. When you look back, have your accomplice point to a few cards, saying "was it this one?". Make sure they point to the eight, and to the symbol marking the position of the card the spectator chose. You will get it right every time. This trick is much more effective after perplexing the spectator by doing the trick several times. The average person will think it is something the accomplice is SAYING, so they probably won't figure out the trick for a while.

magic trick revealed:Seb's Bottom Trick

Seb's Bottom Trick Trick Courtesy of: (BBMMS@msn.com) Original Author: Unknown Effect: Very easy, basic card trick. Card Trick: Keep the cards in a single pile. Be sure to find some way to gain knowledge of the bottom card (shuffling, dropping a card, etc.) Hold the deck in your left hand, in a normal dealing position. Put your right hand on the deck so that your right fingers are on top, thumb on bottom, as if you were going to pull the whole deck back out of your left hand. Your right fingers begin to slide cards back, one by one, and you tell the spectator to say 'stop' at any time. When they say 'stop', use your right hand to pull off the cards that were moved. At the same time, your left thumb presses on the bottom card. As you slide the top cards away from the deck, the bottom card will come with them. (This works best if you pull the bottom card out, little by little while you go through the top cards.) Hold your right hand up so the spectator can see the bottom card of the group, but you can't. Now announce the card that was on the bottom. To make it more mystical say something about how you can tell it isn't a black card by the expression on their face, or that you can tell it's a Heart by the way their fingers wiggle. Or come up with something better. (That shouldn't be too hard.) Editor's note: finding out the bottom card isn't hard, especially if you are performing more than one card trick. Handling the cards, both during and between the tricks, gives you lots of chances to see the bottom card without making it obvious.
