Card Tricks - Do One Yourself

Whenever I see a magician performing, many of us know that he had it up in his sleeves. He simply but elegantly brings it out and makes it a magic.

Many of us want to become a magician and get applause, but magicians have their own equipment and secrecy which they never share with you.

There are certain magic tricks for which much equipment and tricky thing is not required.

How about starting with a card trick?

You will need a card pack with four jacks separated from them.

Put one of the jacks upside down, on top of your pack, but your audience shouldn’t know it.

Start your story – “Once upon a time there were three best friends who lost their way in a mild desert. The only way to survive was split and search in three directions before them. The first people to get help would comeback and rescue other two”

Now put one jack on the top, one at the bottom and one in the middle of the pack. Now ask one of your audiences to cut the pack into two equal parts. Put the bottom half of the pack on the other half.

Turn your pack upside down and amaze your audience by showing them three jacks together somewhere in the middle of the pack.

So simple, isn’t it?
