This is a fantastic card trick that is both easy and powerfully impressive. You can easily perform this for any aged audience and it will impress them. It is an up close trick, so you’ll need a small audience. The great part about this trick is there are many ways to choose the reveal.

Here’s the essential trick, as it appears to your viewers. You hold a customary deck of cards, and fan it out, like they would think. Then you command them to choose a card, any card. They choose card, and you tell them to consider it vigilantly, and show it to their friends. After they position it back in the deck, you strangely pluck it right out. They will be staggered, and think you have powerful extrasensory powers.

Here’s how to do the ruse. While they are busily learning their card, you separate the deck, and make a place for them to put their card. All you need to do is take a speedy peak at the card that you will place on top of theirs. Just keep in mind this card, and once they place there’s in the deck, you’ll know precisely what card comes after. There are quite a lot of ways to reveal this trick.

The most evident way is to simply imagine you are reading their mind while searching through the cards. Then when you get to there’s (which is next to the one you peaked at), you simply pull it out. This alone will worth the price of admission. But hang around, there’s more.

You can search through the deck, pretending to look for it. Once you get to there card, separate and re stack the pack so their card is on top. Then place the deck face down on a table, say some magic words, tap the top, and there card will be on top. But wait, that’s not all, there’s one more commanding reveal.

Once you have their card on top, place the deck behind your back, or under the table. Then promptly take their card out, flip it over, and place it back in the deck, so it’s facing the opposite direction of all the other cards. Then make believe that you can’t guess their card, and get them to tell you which one it was. Then only look through the deck, now with the cards face up, and there’s will be the only card that is face down. This is only a few ways to reveal their card, I’m sure you can think of many others. The more you can talk up your psychic powers of deduction before this trick, the better. You’ll have a stunned audience in no time, wanting to see more tricks. Have fun with this.
