Sleights
Force

Preparation

You need a deck of cards with the nine of clubs on the bottom and the eight of spades on the top.

Method



1. You will need to use any force you want to make the spectator pick two cards the nine of spades and the eight of clubs.

2. Then have them take a quick glance at them and put them separately and randomly into the deck.

3. Here is the finish, you do not have to do anything to the cards just simply lightly squeeze the top and bottom card of the deck with your dominant hand, and then toss the cards to your other hand. So at this point you should have the nine of clubs and the eight of spades in your dominant hand. With the rest of the deck in the other.

4. The two cards in your dominant hand are not the spectators exactly, but they normally cannot tell.

5. Take the applause and start a new trick.

P.S. You can do this to reveal any card selected just move it to the top or the bottom and this trick might take some practice.

Aces Switch Place

Effect

The magician starts to make four piles of cards by dealing four aces, showing them to the audience. He then deals three cards onto each, so the ace remains at the bottom.

Then the magician gathers up the cards, and starts dealing them again, so the first three cards will be random, and the fourth will be an ace. He demonstrates this fact.

He then deals the remaining 12 cards to make the four piles, so the right-most pile contains all the aces.

The magician takes the bottom Ace and puts it on the top of the pile to its left, and takes the bottom random card from the pile that he has just added the card to, and puts it on top of the aces. After a magical move, all the aces have followed the ace and are now in the other pile, leaving the random cards in the pile that contained the aces.


Method

Start as explained in the effect, and continue until you show the first ace in the right-most pile. The secret move is that when you flip the ace over to show the audience, use the top card of the remaining 12 cards. Return this card to the bottom of your 12, so the sequence will be one card out. Then continue as explained in the effect.

1. Exposed view of initial piles


2. Use the next card to flip over the ace


3. Return that card to the bottom of the pile in your hand and continue dealing

Have the spectator choose a card and sign it. Then have the spectator put the card in the deck and control their card to the top. Shuffle the deck but keep the top card on top. Double-lift the top two cards and say "this is not your card is it?" they should say "no". Now replace the cards on top and give them the top card which is their card and have them sandwich that card between their hands - do your little patter and have them look at the card in their hands.

Blead

Effect

A spectator chooses a card and holds it against the magician's stomach and thinks about the card. The magician looks like he is in pain, and grasps the spectator's wrist and asks them to move the card away. The performer lifts up his shirt to show his belly which has a picture of a card in red on it, the spectator's card!

This is a very simple but very effective trick, as performed by David Blaine.

Card in Different Deck

Effect

The spectator picks one red card, and puts it under a boxed set of blue cards. A hankercheif or cloth is put over the deck and when taken off, the red card is in the deck of blue cards.



Sleights
Force


Preparation
One red deck, one blue deck, a duplicate red card, double sided tape or magicians wax and a cloth. First put the double sided tape on the bottom of the boxed blue deck and put a duplicate red with the blues.


Method



Show the spectator the blue cards (hiding the red one). Then put them back in. Now force a red card on them which is the same as the duplicate red in the blue deck. Now once they have done this, tell them to set it down face down. Then put the blue deck with the double sided tape or wax over that card so it covers it and sticks to it.

Now put the cloth over it, and wave a wand or say the magic words, then lift the deck up (hiding the card taped to the bottom) and pull out the deck. Have them look in the deck and they will find their card with all of the blues. It is best if this trick is done on a table cloth so that the deck does not immediatly stick to a wood table.
