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.

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.
