Magic Tricks With Cards

You have seen them tons of times, but have you ever wondered how the magician did the trick? The following are the most basic and probably the most used beginning magic tricks with cards ever preformed.

The first of the magic tricks with cards is the tried and true "Find the Card." The only thing needed is a deck of cards and good acting skills. To start this trick say the old order, "Pick a Card, Any Card." Then having a volunteer choose a card which you then "pretend" to lose it among the rest of the deck. This is the card that you find magically later.

The real trick to this beginner card trick is remembering where another card is and you inserting the chosen card by the memorized card. So when you have the volunteer place the card within the card deck, you need to make sure, the deck when you split it, is where the memorized card is. So when you go to pull the chosen card all that you need to do is keep an eye for the memorized card.

This following is one of many simple magic tricks is called " The Four Acres." This is fun one to learn, it takes a bit of practice but is worth it. This one you need to start with the four aces on top of the deck. Then while the crowd is watching shuffle the deck but you need to make sure that the "aces stay on top."

Have a member of the audience come cut the deck four times starting from the right; make sure that the quarter that the aces are in is on the right. Then have the person take the three cards from the top of the pile that is on the left and place them on the bottom.

Then take the three cards from the top of the pile, place one on each of the remaining piles. Have the person do it over again with the remaining three piles then have them turn over the top card of all four piles. They should all be the aces.

The next magic tricks with cards calls for ruining a good deck of cards but it is a good one. It is called "4 10s into 4 aces" To prepare for this trick, you need to start out with removing the tens along with the aces. Taking the 10 and ace of hearts and glue them together back to back with a glue stick (no glue bubbles.) This is the "full card." Taking the other three Aces, cut them diagonally, leave the 10's in one piece. Taking a part of each ace and match it with it's 10 glue them together. Then you are ready.

To start the trick display the prepared cards so that the cards overlap and only the 10's show. Be sure that the full card is the card that everyone sees as "the end of the fours cards."

Then you just collapse the cards down to a single deck. Meanwhile distract the audience with acting as though you are doing magic to do the change. Meanwhile maneuver the "full card and flip it over" make sure that the card stay in the correct spot. Do not forget to rotate the cards so the Aces now show when you show the audience that you changed the 10's into 4 aces.
