Cool card tricks can really amaze your friends and family.

This cool card trick is a little more difficult to learn but is well worth the effort. You will probably find that it is easier to do if you use an old set of cards. New cards are much stiffer and slippery as they are glossy. Old cards, however, have more ‘give’ to them.

Before beginning this card trick, remove the four Jacks and place them face up on the table. You can tell your audience that these Jacks are going to be your helper cards. Make sure you memorize the card on the bottom of the pack before going any further.

Have someone from your audience choose a card from the pack. Tell them to show the audience what the card is without letting you see it. Have them place the card face down on top of the deck. You pick the deck up and cut it, which places your memorized bottom card on top of that card that they have chosen.

Pick the deck up and than it out slightly with the cards facing you. You know that their card is going to be the one after memorized card that was on the bottom of the pack.

While talking to your audience about what is going to happen or anything else you can think of to distract them, place one of the Jacks before your memorize card. Place the next Jack after their card, and the next two Jacks after the next two cards. Their card is sandwiched between the second and third Jack.

Straighten the pack of cards up leaving the Jack’s sticking out at right angles to the rest of the deck. Then turn the Jacks so they are facing the same way as the rest of the cards. Hold the deck firmly and push the Jacks and other cards into the pack. The trick here is to not push the Jacks all the way in. You want the Jacks and the cards between them a little out from the edge so you can push them through.

As you push these cards in, you will push out the card behind the Jack after their card. Make some comment asking if this is the right card. When told no, tell them you need to try again (or whatever you decide to say). Pushing that card back in will push out the Jack behind it. When you push that Jack back in, it will push out their card. This is when you can act surprised or tell them that this must be the right card. Again, it is up to you to work out what you want to say.

This card trick will take practice to get it right. You will also need to work out your banter or what you are going to use to distract your audience. Remember to practice it in front of the mirror. When you are satisfied that you can do it properly, you are ready to amaze your friends with your latest cool card trick.
