CARD MAGIC WITH A

REGULAR DECK

Here are some great card tricks you can perform anywhere. They all use a regular deck of playing cards.

You can also use your Mystery Deck included in this set for most of these tricks.

63. 4 CARDS & POCKET

Name the card your audience selects.

SUPPLIES NEEDED: Deck of playing cards

THE SECRET: The three cards hidden in your pocket allow you to “count” to the card your audience

selected.

SHOW:

1. Before you begin, secretly hide three cards in your pocket.

2. Now, you’re ready to perform magic! Place four cards face down on the table from right to left - count-

ing 1,2,3, and 4 as you place them down. Have an audience member pick a card, look at it and return it to

it’s place - all while your back is turned. Make sure he remembers the face, suit and position, (1,2,3 or 4)

of the card. When he’s ﬁnished, have him tell you to turn around.

3. Pick the cards up in order, and put them in your pocket. Secretly remove the three cards you’ve hidden

earlier and place them face down on the table. Ask, “What card did you choose 1,2,3 or 4?” When they

reply say, “Isn’t that funny that’s the only card still in my pocket” - and count down that number of cards,

pull that card out of your pocket, and read the card he picked. For instance, you’ll say, “you picked the ace

of diamonds,” as you place that card on the table.

64. EASY FORCE

“Forcing” a card means you are always able to make the volunteer take the card you want them to. In this

trick, you predict the card the volunteer will cut to.

SUPPLIES NEEDED: Deck of playing cards

THE SECRET: By memorizing the card on the bottom of the deck, this trick works like a charm!

SHOW:

1. Ask a volunteer to cut the deck. Take the bottom of the cut and place it on top of the rest of the deck,

cross-ways as in FIGURE 1.

2. Make some casual conversation before you predict the card (which is really the one you memorized).

3. Lift up the top part of the deck, as in FIGURE 2, to reveal the bottom card. The volunteer will be amazed

to see you are correct. They won’t realize this is the card that was on the bottom of the deck before they

cut it!
