Salty Cards Card Prediction Trick
With nothing more than kicking a deck of cards you can tell which is the chosen card.
Materials Needed:
1 Standard Card Deck
A good pinch of salt secretly stored in your pocket
Method
Have a shuffled deck of cards placed on the floor. Have a person look through the deck and choose a card. Have him/her place his card on top of the deck. Now have them cut the deck into five piles. (Remember that their chosen card is on the top of the first pile.)
Now, by pointing to the piles have them put the deck back together in a different order.
The trick is that as you are pointing at the card piles, instructing the audience member to put them back together, you take a pinch of salt and drop it on top of the chosen card as you point to it)
Then, lightly kick the deck of cards with your right foot, slide into the cards to make them glide to the left.
Examine the deck. The place in the deck with the most distance between one card and the next is the chosen card.
Notes: Practice this trick before performing to get a feel for how hard to kick the cards, and how to "see" the chosen card.
All The Aces Card Cut Trick
An easy card cut trick where your spectator cuts the deck into several piles, only to find that the aces have magically risen to the top of each pile.
Preparation: Before performing this magic trick, remove the four aces from the deck and place them on the top of the deck.
Method To begin the trick, you, the magician, ask your spectator to divide the deck into four equal piles by dropping cards off the bottom of the deck.
Keep your eye on the pile that contains the four aces. It may either on the left side or on the right side. Next, ask your spectator to pick up a non-ace pile and hold it in their hand. Ask them to take 3 cards from the top of the pile and place them on the bottom. Next, ask them to take another 3 cards from the top of the pile and place them one on each on the top of each of the other piles..
Now, ask your spectator to repeat the same procedure for next two non-ace piles.
Finally you ask them to do carry out the same procedure for the pile that contains the aces. Now invite them to turn over the top card from each pile. Amazingly, the top cards should be the four aces !!! Bottoms Up Card Trick
Effect: A pack of cards is fanned out in front of a spectator. The magician runs his fingers around the card fan and the spectator is asked to tell him when to stop his fingers on a card. This card is shown to the audience, replaced in the pack and the pack handed back to the spectator to shuffle. The magician then reveals the card which was chosen.
Method: Ask a spectator to shuffle the cards. When he/she hands them back to you note the bottom card . That is going to be their card.
Start by fanning the cards out. Run your finger across them and ask the spectator when to stop. When he/she says to stop, put your thumb on that point of the deck.
While your thumb is on that point, use your other fingers to slowly work the bottom card under your thumb. As you pull the cards off the top of the deck with your thumb, slide the bottom card under the other cards and pull them off the deck and show the spectator his/ her card. This is where you take over. Since you already know the card you can have the spectator cut, shuffle, e.t.c.
Good routine to try out:
Start flipping the cards from the top of the deck over onto the table. When you flip their card over, continue flipping for another few cards, then say, "I'll bet you that the next card I flip over will be yours!" They'll think you messed up because their card is already flipped over on the table. When they say, "you're on!", reach over and flip their card, which is already face down on the table. They'll be amazed.
Teleporting Card
An Easy To Do Card Trick With A Stunning Finish!!!
Effect: You remove a deck of cards from it's packet and hand them to the spectator.The spectator is then asked to give the pack a good shuffle and then deal the top five cards, face down on the table. The magician then lifts up each of the five cards in turn and asks the spectator to write down the name and suit of each of the five cards on a piece of paper. The deck of cards is then handed to the spectator followed by the five cards.
The spectator is then asked to insert the five cards randomly back into the deck and then give it another shuffle. They are then asked to spread the deck face up on the table and to pick out the five previously selected cards. One card will be found to be missing ???
The magician then asks the spectator to look inside the empty card packet where they find that the missing card has somehow teleported back inside the packet ??
You Need: A deck of cards. A piece of note paper and a pen.
How its done! When removing the cards from the packet, secretly leave the top card from the deck inside the packet ( you should have previously memorized this card). For this example we will call the card the 5 of diamonds. The spectator is then handed the deck to shuffle and then deal face down, the top five cards.
Now here comes the secret part. You the magician, lift up each card and quote the name and suit of each of the five cards to the spectator for them to write down on the note paper, the spectator should not be able to see the face of each lifted card. When you lift up the last card, tell the spectator that you have lifted the 5 of diamonds and then replace the card face down on the table.
The spectator then inserts the five cards face down back into the deck, shuffles the deck and spreads out the cards face up to find that their 5 of diamonds is missing. You can then reveal their missing card inside the card packet
This trick looks amazing as the magician has hardly touched the pack and nearly all the handling is done by the spectator.
Meet Your Match
In this clever card trick, freely selected cards, magically find their mate.
Effect: Two cards are freely (yes, freely) selected and inserted face up in the deck in two different places. Magician runs through the deck and drops the face-up selected card and the face-down card next to it, on the table.When the face-down cards are turned face up, they are seen to be the mates of the selected cards in color and value.
Set-up: Put deck in “Best Friends” order. See below.
Performance: Spread the deck and have a card selected. Cut all cards above selected card to the bottom. Have card removed and replaced on the top of the deck, face up. Undercut half the deck and peek at the bottom card. If it is a mate to the selected card, remember that the selected card is a before card. If it is not a mate, the selected card is an after card. Drop the cards in your right hand on top of the face up card.
Repeat this 2 or 3 times; if you do it more times than that, it can be hard to remember what cards are what. Now run through the deck. When you hit an after card, drop it and the card after iton the table. When you hit a before card, drop it and the card before it onthe table. Flip over the cards, and they match. Be sure to explain the mate concept before you flip over the cards.
Features: Cards cut as often as you like
Cards are freely chosen, no forces of any kind
Does not work on Rainbow Deck principle
Best Friends Order The deck is simply set up in pairs by value and color. Put the two red kings together, the two black twos, the two red jacks, etc. You can cut this deck all you want. The Best Friends effect wont be affected if a pair are separated, one on top and one on bottom. With another cut the order will right itself.
In today's world, money and the things it can buy-only these seem to have value. In reality, however, money and the things it can buy are both created by man. But man has forgotten his own value! Another startling fact about life is that this being called man, and his creation called money-both are short-lived. This short period in which they exist and vanish is called time. How important time is! But the meaning and value of time is not clear to all. We need to think deeply in order to understand the value of time. Only then will we realize that is the only wealth we have.
