Card In Your Pocket
|
Description: A spectator picks a card. The magician looks for the spectator's card in the pack but can't find it. He then magically pulls the card out of his pocket. You need a second set of identical cards for this trick.
Directions: 1. Take one card from the first deck, and put it in your pocket. You will no longer need that deck. Put its twin from the other deck on top of the pack. 2. Rifle through the pack of cards and ask the spectator to tell you when to stop. Stop at that place, and remove the top half of the pack, sliding, with your thumb, the top card of the top half to the top of the lower half of the pack (this should be the same card as the one you have in your pocket). 3. Hold out the cards below the break and tell the spectator to take the card and memorize it. Reassemble the pack and give it to the spectator, telling him to put his card in it and shuffle the deck. 4. Take the pack and announce that you are going to find his card. After looking through the pack claim that you cannot find his card (although in fact you should have seen it). Then say something like "Hang on, what's this in my pocket?" and pull out the card. |
