as well. When he turns them over, he nds he is hold-
ing two Queens instead.
SECRET: You stack the deck as follows, top card is
Ace of Spades, next two cards are queens, fourth card
from the top is the other ace. You hand the spectator
their card, the Ace of Spades, you then show your card
by turning it over, but you really turn over three cards
by using the pinky break method. You have your three
cards separated by “breaking” the deck with your
little nger. Instead of lifting just one card, you lift
the top three cards and the audience see the ace of
hearts. Return the three cards to the top of the deck,
face down.
When you pretend to do the lightning switch and
hand them your card face down, they expect the
other ace, but instead are getting one of the queens.
You then take their card the ace quickly and put it
on top of the deck. While distracting the spectator
with some patter and direct eye contact, deal him
the second card from the top of the pack (the queen)
and return “this” card to him. When he turns his cards
over, he has two queens instead of two aces.
CARD LEVITATION
EFFECT: The magician puts 1 or 4 cards under
his hand. He slowly lifts his hand and the cards oat
with his hand. Holding his hand above the table, the
magician pulls the cards out of his hand and drops
them on the table.
YOU WILL NEED: A ring*, toothpick*, card(s)*
SECRET:
1. Put the ring on your middle nger. Then put the
toothpick under the ring so that both sides of the
toothpick out.

place a card under your palm but above the toothpick.
You need to practice this move to make it look like
you’re just placing a card under your palm not above
a toothpick.

your ngers down a little on the back of the cards,
they will remain in position and appear to be levitat-

ICE ICE BABY!
EFFECT: Pour some water into a cup, blow on the cup
and then turn it upside down where out pops some
ice cubes. You need a cup or glass that you can’t see
through. You also need a small sponge and some ice
cubes
METHOD: Prepare the cup by placing the sponge
into the bottom of the cup. Then, drop a few ice
cubes on top of the sponge and you’re ready to go.
To perform pour a small amount of water (about an
inch) into the cup. The sponge will absorb the water.
Blow into the cup, wave your hands over it and dump
out the ice cubes. If you are using a disposable plastic
cup for the trick, just throw it away at this time.
Watch the look of surprise on your friends’ faces.
QUICK COIN VANISH
EFFECT: A coin is place onto the table. It is picked
up and it magically vanishes.
METHOD: First, let me tell you this is about as
easy as a magic trick as it gets. Set the coin onto the
table with your left hand. Say something like “Check
this out” and reach over with your right hand. Then
press down on the coin with your index, middle and
3rd ngers with your hand and arm parallel with the
table. Slide the coin toward you keeping in mind is
should be completely covered up. Slide the coin o of
the table so it falls into your lap. Touch your thumb to
your middle ngers as if you are picking up the coin
as it reaches the edge of the table. Keeping all your
ngers closed still. Stare at where the coin should be
as you slowly move your hand away from you back to
about 6 inches above where the coin originally was.
Start moving your thumb in a circular motion as if the
coin is disappearing. Slowly turn your hand around
and spread your ngers apart. Now the rest is up to
you. The more surprised you act and if you act like
you were all fortunate to see a miracle, people will
believe the trick even more and remember it (and
you) forever,-maybe.
