magic card trick – Card Tricks – Essential Magic For Beginners by Andy Canning

Feb 19, 2010 in General

Why is it that most Magicians use card tricks in their act? Did they start out entertaining in Gambling Dens and Casinos? Or is it that the ‘card sharps’ had to learn magic card tricks in order to cheat at Poker?

Whatever the reason, Card Tricks are an essential part of any Magician’s performance. Some require difficult sleight-of-hand techniques, most just need you to distract your audience while you ‘do the deed’, many can be done in full view. A few need gimmicked decks or pre-prepared decks in order to work.

The marked deck is a rarity these days; after all, who needs to remember 52 different secret markings, all small enough to go unnoticed by the audience? Far easier to ‘force’ your victim to pick a specific card (she thinks she had free choice, but we know better!) then ‘control’ the card to the top or bottom of the deck where it sits until you magically produce it.

A favourite technique of mine (called; the Glimpse) is to openly look at the card (this becomes the ‘Key card’) above the selected card as the victim replaces it in the pack; all I have to do then is find that card and I know that the one below it is the selected card. Simple. The victim, and the rest of the audience, were all concentrating on the return of the selected card to the deck and didn’t notice me tilt the top half of the deck so that the underside of the card was visible. A few cuts then make it look as if the card is mixed up in the deck (a cut rarely splits the two cards that you want to keep together, but to be sure, Glimpse the bottom card after the last cut – if it is your Key Card, cut once more) and I then deal the pack onto the table until I see the card I viewed earlier. A nice twist is to carry on past the selected card, dealing say, another 3 cards before stopping and announcing “the next card I turn over will be the one you selected.” The victim gleefully disagrees – you can take bets on it if you want – and then you reach over to the selected card and turn that one over.

There are lots of card tricks you can learn easily that can be found at many dedicated magic websites. Many magic card tricks are offered free at these sites and are easy to learn. If you want to impress your friends in the bar or at the party, learn some magic card tricks and you will always be in demand!

Wonderful Origami Money Tricks For Pleasure And Delight

Performing tricks with paper money is a pretty intriguing thing to be able to do. The promise are limitless when it comes to doing magic with dollar bills. You can accomplish pretty much everything, and make an impact on a whole variety of people when you be taught these impressive skills.

Many times this involves that very old Japanese art of origami, or folding paper. You take a standard dollar bill, and through delicate manipulation of the bill itself, you can change it into a diversity of exhilarating shapes, such as a vessel, a bird, or even a frog. The sky is the boundary, and you are only inhibited by your creativity and imagination.

And then there are the sleight of hand money tricks, where you can make money vanish, resurface, pull coins out of children ears, and so on. These are likely the most admired dollar bill and coin magic tricks. Many believe they have their roots in the primordial Egyptians, as capital to them was considered sacred. There’s one in particular that I’ll divide with you.

Here’s the basic substance of the trick. The goal is to make individuals believe you are holding three one dollar bills, then you speak the magic word, and one of them disappears. Foremost acquire as single dollar bill, and crease the top halfway down.

After that stash it anywhere where nobody can see it.
Subsequently you place another bill in front of it, and crease it the similar way. Then you divide them, so it appears like you have the edges of three bills, while in reality all you have is two.

How you accomplish the actual “reveal,” or the part that you show the spectators that you in fact only have two bills while they figured you had three, is up to you.

Some people like to make a big deal of it holding the money to their cranium and pretending to project supernatural force to it.
Still others like to speak a magic sound, and then spank the bills, abruptly transforming what was thought to be three into two. Either way, you are sure to have plenty of fun with this easy trick.
