U Find it

1. To set up the deck, sort all the Hearts into numerical order, Ace to King. Put them on the bottom of the deck

2. Set the deck face down on the table and ask a spectator to cut the deck, after that, tell them to look at the card they cut to.

3. Ask them to put the card on top of the opposite pile (on top of the original top card), and then ask them to complete the cut and square the cards the card neatly.

4. Now, ask them to turn the deck face up, and then ask your spectator to complete a cut again. (what u need them to do is to cut to one of the cards in the stack (face up) which u set up earlier, any heart). if you're lucky enough, they will do it the first time, if not simply ask them to cut the deck again, and if needed again.

5. After they cut to a card, in our example, 4, remember the card. And then have the deck turned face down and stare at the edge of the deck as if making some ingeniously long stupendous calculation. State their selection is 4 (the card) cards down from the top of the deck. And then ask them to deal three cards face down and turn over the fourth. It will be the card selected. It depends on what hearts they pick, if they pick 7 ask them to flip over 6 and the seventh card is theirs, Jack:11 Queen:12 King:13. Hope u like it :)))))))))

Red & Black

Effect: the magician takes his deck of cards and perform a few cuts

cut the deck into to packets. and asksthe spectators to take on packet.

the magician shuffles the DESK . Then shuffles his a few times .

peperation: set your hole desk as red ,black,red,black etc. until your last card.


secret: so you have your deck set up.
all you have to do is to do a few fake cut or shuffles.


cut it into two halfs. now ask your spectators to take one packet.


now take the packet from then again do some fake shuffles or cuts


now take yours do some fake shuffles to yours.

Best Card Force Around

EFFECT:

You riffle through the cards and call out stop and the spectator looks at the card they stoped at, and the bast part is the card truly came from the middle of the deck!

PREPERATION:

Start off with a normal deck of Bicycle rider back playing cards

Cut open the face down deck just above the middle

Take a look at the card you cut to

Memorize it

Move the card underneath it just under and inch towards yourself

Close up the deck

PROFORMANCE:

Riffle down throught the cards SLOWLY until the spectator says "STOP"

They quickly jump to the card to memorized

It should be easy because the card underneath it is sticking in towards you


P.S. It will be easier to riffle down the cards if they are on an angle

Card Switch

What it looks like:

You flip the top card, revealing the Ace of Spades. You then give this card to the spectator to hold, face down. You flip the next top card, which is the Ace of Clubs, and announce: "I'm going to switch these cards."
Your hands dart backwards and forwards, and you say: "Okay, I'm going to show you what I did, but in slow motion." So, you do it in slow motion, and quite obviously switch the cards. You then give back the Ace and say: "Okay, which one is the Ace of Spades, and which one is the Ace of Clubs?"
The spectator answers, and you ask them to show the cards to everybody, and they are two queens. This trick has made many a jaw drop, and is responsible for me being chased down a corridor by a school mate, who wanted to know how on Earth that trick was possible.

How it's done:

1. Arrange the top 4 cards like this: Ace of Spades, Red Queen, Red Queen, Ace of Clubs.
2. Flip the top card, showing the Ace of Spades, and give it to the spectator to hold face down, with his fingers on top and thumb on the bottom.
3. Do a triple lift (pick up three cards to look like 1) and show the Ace of Clubs. You then put the card face down, and take the top card (which is a queen) and slide the card under the spectators fingers and out again. You are actually doing nothing when you do this, it just feels like you switched them.
4. Do it in slow motion, and this time, actually switch them. So they have a face down Queen and you have the face down Ace.
5. 'Give them back their card.' You are actually NOT giving them back the Ace, but the other queen. To do this, get eye contact with the spectator, then slide out the Queen from the top of the deck, put the Ace on top and take the Queen.
6. So then, after giving them the queen, ask: "Which one is the Ace of Spades, and which one is the Ace of Clubs?" After they answer, get them to flip the cards, and BAM - They have changed!!!

Light Up a Card Trick

Effect:
The name of a selected card "burns" itself into a normal lightbulb.

Method:
With a fine camel hair brush, paint the name of a card on a frosted lightbulb with lemon juice. Force this card on a person, then hand the bulb around for examination, place it in a socket and turn it on. The heat will cause the writing on the bulb to develop and reveal the name of the selected card.

NOTE FROM SATISH RAJA: If you don't know how to force a card, look in the "Easy Card Force 1 & 2" section of this Blog

Easy Card Force -2

Making the spectator pick the card YOU want,
while they think they’re picking the card THEY want.

Many times in a magic trick, you will need to make a spectator choose a specific card without realizing that they're picking the card you want them to pick.

Before starting the magic trick, secretly remember the top card of the deck. This is the “force card” that you will force your friend (the spectator) to choose, although s/he will think it is a "Pick a card, any card" kind of free choice.

Have the spectator lift up half the deck, and place it on the table. This is called cutting the deck. You now have two piles of cards, A and B. The card your friend will choose, the force card, is on the top of pile A. Keep track of where the force card is, and don’t forget it.

Tell the spectator you will mark where the cut was. Pick up pile B, and place it sideways on top of pile A. The pictures show how this is done.

Ask the spectator if s/he has seen the card yet, and when s/he says no, lift pile B, and have the spectator take the top card of pile A. Your friend will think this is where s/he cut the deck of cards, so when the card is picked up, they will think it is their card.

Now that the spectator has "chosen" your card, you can go on with whatever magic trick you had planned.

A simple magic effect would be to pretend to concentrate for a moment and then name the force card! Only a magician could know the value of a card without looking at it, and now you can too!

Easy Card Force -1

Easy Card Force Number One:

Making the spectator pick the card YOU want,
while they think they’re picking the card THEY want.

Once again, secretly remember the top card of deck. You will also need a scarf that you cannot see through. Hold the deck in your hand, and drape the scarf over it.

Here comes the important move. Under cover of the scarf, turn the deck upside-down in your hand. The photos are shown without the scarf. The spectator can not see it, since the hanky is covering it up, so s/he will think it is normal.

Now have the spectator lift up the top half of the deck.

Before the scarf uncovers your hand, turn the bottom half of the deck right-side up. When the spectator takes the top card off the deck in your hand, s/he will think it is the chosen card.
