An Easy Card Trick

Spelling Out That Card

You can shuffle cards like this when you learn how to do card tricks.

Learning how to do card tricks can be easy and fun. This one is an easy card trick you can use to amaze your friends. Take a deck of cards, making sure you know which card is on the bottom of the deck. Have someone choose a card and lay it face down on the table. Make various sized piles of cards from what’s left in your deck and ask your friend to place his card on top of one of the piles. Make sure the pile with the bottom card is in the row closer to your body.

Randomly start putting the piles together, making sure the pile with the bottom card that you have memorized is put on top of the pile with the card from your friend. We have picked up all the cards, start turning them over one at a time. When you reach your bottom card that you have memorized, start a new pile. This pile will have your friends card at the bottom (or at the top with the pack is turned over). Continue adding cards to this pile, remembering just what the chosen card is. Start the next pile and silently spell out the words of that card, making each card one letter of the word. Once you have the correct number of cards for the words, start a new pile and continue doing this until all cards are back on the table face up.

When picking up your piles, make sure the pile that spells the words of the card is placed on top of the pile that contains the card. All the other piles are underneath. Show your audience one card and said was your card? When they say no, ask them what their card was. Then you can spell the words of their card, turning each card over as you do so, ending with well here is your card.

Practice doing this a few times, and try it in front of a mirror. When learning how to do card tricks effectively, you will need to work on your dialogue or banter as the more you can weave a story into your magic tricks, the easier it is to distract your audience.
