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.
