A deck of cards is fanned for a choice. But the magician says oh, wait I really must take the cards out of the box first, and waves his hand over the deck which seems to melt into the box. The lid is opened and the cards are again removed.
First you need to prepare the box by painting the 2 long sides & bottom white
to match the deck. Do not paint the top. Place the deck inside the box and close
the lid. Take about 7 cards and put them on the face of the box. Not the back of
the box which looks like the back of a card. But the face of the box. You are
know ready to perform. Bring the box/cards out and spread them as if someone is
to take one. Close the spread and cut the top 6 cards to the bottom of the box.
Next palm off the top card showing the box. open the box and empty hte cards
out. The cards under the box blend in with the ones on the inside.
Effect: This is a Card trick that involves mutilating two cards but it's worth it. With this card that is created you can do tons of tricks with
1. Take to cards any two cards that are in your regular deck that you use
2. Take one of the cards and trim the top down a few millimetres (Smaller the better)
3. Now take the other card and put glue half ways up the card Really good, So It won't be noticeable but still stick well
4. Now take the trimmed card and Place it on top of the glue card
5. Make the bottom of the card even
6. Place the new card between to heavy books or something
7. Pull it out later and VOILA
Card Trick:
Now your thinking "Ok I have now thoroughly screwed up two cards from my deck
now, What The heck can I do with them". Well here is your answer, Once dry place
the card in the middle of the deck or so (ALWAYS REMEMBER WHERE THE BOTTOM OF
THE CARD IS), Now Rifle through....... WOW You Notice it stops momentarily at
that card, "Ok That was kewl". IT GETS BETTER!. Take a card off the top this
time and Then when you rifle through... Place the card inside of the cards. When
you push up on the bottom card *GASP* The Card rises out of the Deck
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!
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 matching 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 committed. 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 committed here, and "say
the name of the spectator " you are the committee. 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!
A person chooses a card out of ten card with a hole at the top of them. the magician puts the card back into the middle of the ten without looking at it. he then puts a string into the hole of the card thus connecting them and with a jerk of the string all the cards are pulled away except the chosen card!
The trick is very simple. when you put the card back into the deck you do it
from the bottom and you don't put it in all the way you actually hide the bottom
of the card with your hand and when the person pulls the string it stays behind.
Effect: The magician riffles through a deck of cards. While he riffles he tells the spectator to think of any card he sees, not the bottom card. After he thinks of his card you lift up the top card and say you didn't think of this card. Place the card back on top and then grab the top card again. Tell the spectator to think of his card. Ask him to name is card. Flip over the card and there it is!
Card Trick:
The trick needs a little preparation. First you need two of the same card. Lets say the King of Spades. (You can have what ever.) Next take out the two of diamonds. Take a pair of scissors and trim the very top of the card. Cut as least as possible but make sure the card is now smaller than the others.
Now place the 2 of Diamonds and the King of Spades in the centre of the deck.
Have the King behind the 2. Place the other King on top of the deck. When you
riffle through the deck you will feel a stop or a gap when you riffle. That is
the two, but it will go on so you will stop at the King since it is behind the 2
of Diamonds. Tell the spectator to think of a card he sees when you riffle
through. Riffle the first part fast so they have trouble seeing the cards. When
you feel the break pause for a split second so the spectator can see the card
and suit. Usually they will pick the King since it popped out and was easier to
see than the others. Now do a double lift and show what they think is the top
card. Place it back on top and then ask for their card. Show them the top card
and you have a great trick! If you want you can write on a piece of paper if you
can't do a double lift or you can make up your own thing.
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.
Effect: You riffle the deck let the audience pick a card and put it back. You cut the deck into 4 piles they pick 3 to take out and the pile left over is the pile with their card on the top
Card Trick:
You need a Svengali Deck.
1. Take off the top card and put it aside.
2. Riffle so normal cards show, have them take the bottom card (a forced card) and return it.
3. Cut the cards so the short cards (forced cards) are on top of 4 piles.
4. Tell them "I don't like to work to hard so you'll lead me to your pile. Pick 3 piles, any 3 piles to take away."
5. Turn over the top card of the last pile and it is theirs. Put the deck away.
6. When they ask for the deck to examine take out a real deck and give
it to them.
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 from 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 chooses 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 neither 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 aluminium sulphate. You combine 1 once
of ALUM with 1 pint of vinegar. This is your solution. This will make enough for
100 eggs or 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.
You need a deck of cards from Las Vegas that have a hole punched through the
deck. The hole is usually in the centre 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 symmetrical in other
words if you lined them all up and one was put in the deck the wrong way.
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 millimetres 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.
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.
Effect: The magician takes a long-stemmed glass and announces that he's going to perform a card trick. The thing about this card trick is that he won't be able to touch the cards, because they'll be inside the glass the whole time! Placing the pack face-out in the glass, the magician states that he's going to find all four aces using special "Locator Cards". He reaches into the glass and pulls out a red number card (we'll use the Ten of Hearts for the example) and puts it in front of the rest of the cards in the deck so that it is the card the spectator now sees looking at them through the glass. The magician then states that he will let that red 10 find a red ace. Holding the glass by the stem, the magician passes a cloth napkin over the glass quickly. When the napkin has completed it's quick pass, the red 10 has been replaced by a red ace! The magician then takes the red ace and puts it in back of the deck and passes the napkin again. This time, the red 10 is replaced by the other red ace! Now the magician gets a black number card (say, 6 of spades) for the "Locator" and puts it in front of the red 10. A quick napkin pass, and there's a black ace! The magician takes the ace and puts it in back of the deck. Another pass, and there's the last black ace! Now pull out the pack and put it back in the case, smiling as you take your bow. All of this magic occurs in the glass, so there's apparently no way that you could've manipulated the cards! People will fall down at your feet and worship your incredible abilities ;-)
Card Trick: A slight amount of preparation work is required,
but this is worth it. First, find a wine or any other long-stemmed glass that
will allow you to set at least half a deck of cards in it. There can be no
design on the glass or stem!!! Next, take the two red aces and glue them back to
back. Make sure you make them look as much like one card as possible! Do the
same with the two black aces. Now get two identical number cards - one black and
one red - from an identical deck. Glue one red and one black back to back. Don't
do this with the other ones. Finally, get a cloth napkin that is big enough and
dark enough to completely cover the glass. With this prep, you're set! Set up
the deck like this: The black 6 card face-up on top of the face-down deck. Now,
set the double-sided black ace on top of it. Now place the double-sided red
10/black 6 card with the red 10 face-up. Next, comes the double-sided red aces.
And finally, the last red 10 FACE-DOWN on the face-down deck. The rest is
showmanship. Place the deck in the glass with the bottom card facing your
spectator. Announce that you're going to do the trick using a red locator card.
Pull the red 10 off the top of the deck and put it on the bottom, facing the
spectator. You should now be looking at a red ace. Holding the glass by the
stem, you pass the napkin over the glass and spin it around so that the ace is
now facing the spectator. It helps if you hold the glass with you fingers rigid
and the stem in the first bend of your finger. When you spin the glass, your
thumb does the work and your fingers look pretty much the same. Now take the ace
and put it on top of the deck. You should now be looking at the other red ace.
Perform the pass/spin again, and your spectator sees the other red ace. Now say
that you need a black locator card. Take the red/black card off the top with the
6 facing the spectator. Put it on bottom of the deck. You should now be looking
at a black ace. Pass/spin and your spectator sees it. Take it and put it on top
of the deck and perform the pass/spin. There's the final black ace! Now merely
put the deck into the case before anyone gets too close. SUGGESTION: When you
get to the black aces, if you stick the Ace of Spades on top so that it's the
first ace you'll show, you can ask the spectator to name a black ace. Nine out
of ten times, they'll say the Ace of Spades! You then make it appear for them.
If they happen to mention the Ace of Clubs, just say "So that leaves the Ace of
Spades," and make it appear.
A Specific Deck is Needed
It can be any 52 (54 with joker) card deck, as long as a reversed card can be distinguished from the rest of the deck
The best to use is a deck with a pattern on the top that is identical, except for the boarder. If you can find a deck where one side of the boarder is slightly thicker from its opposite side, that's very good.
A deck with a picture can also be used.
1. First arrange all of the card with their picture (or the thick boarder) in the same direction.
2. Have a spectator pick any card from anywhere in the deck.
3. (Here's the tricky part) Turn the deck around, so the pattern is in the opposite direction. *make sure the spectator doesn't see this!!!
4. Have the spectator place the card anywhere in the deck.
5. Shuffle/cut the cards in any fashion desirable, without mixing the pattern direction (the more shuffling, the more confusion from the spectators).
6. Count out the cards in any way. You can even make it up. Just
remember, the spectators card is the card with the reversed pattern.
