Trick: Make a pre-selected card rise up magically
Watch and learn how to master the art of wizardry
- Take a pack of cards and secretly remember which card was at the bottom, let’s say the ace of spades.
- Now spread out a pack of cards and ask a friend to select a card — any card.
- Cut the entire pack into two sets, making sure your ace of spades is still on the bottom of the other set.
- Now, take the other set (not the one with the ace of spades) spread it out again and ask the friend to put the selected card on top of the set.
- Bring back your first set (with the ace of spades) and put it on top of the set on the table.
- The ace of spades is now directly on top of the card your friend has selected.
- Take the entire set now and look at the deck.
- You will know exactly which card has been selected.
- Pretend that you’re shuffling the cards and try and place the selected card on top of the set.
- Now show your friend the face of the deck.
- Remember the selected card is now on top.
- Use your index finger and with a flourish, let the selected card magically rise.
Good luck.
