Trying to learn card tricks can be a hard
thing to do. There is so much that goes into making a trick look
professional and realistic, that you’ll want to start off
small. Try learning some
easy card tricks to get
started.
One card trick that you can try is called
“The King’s Rescue”
1.The first thing you need to do is to take
out the Kings, Queens, and Jacks from the deck.
2.Put one King, one Queen, and one Jack on top of the deck (shhhh, this
is a secret)
3.This trick even has a story! Say, “There once was an
apartment building, and this stack of cards represents the
building.”
4.“In each apartment there is a desirable woman. “
5.Mention that one queen lives in the top apartment and place a queen
on top.
6.Mention that one queen lives in the middle apartment and place a
queen in the middle of the stack.
7.Mention that one queen lives on the bottom floor and place a queen at
the bottom
8.“Then, three robbers broke into the building. One went
upstairs, one went in the middle, and one went to the
bottom.” (Put a Jack into the appropriate spot with each of
these.
9.“The robbers made a lot of noise so the queens started
screaming. “
10.“Three policemen decided to step in.” Put a King
on each floor level.
11.Then, you should hand your card deck to an audience member. They
should cut the pack.
12.Next, deal the cards out facing up. In the middle of the pack, three
Kings, Queens, and Jacks will come out together. This means that the
Kings came to the rescue!
Another one of the easy card tricks is
called; “Pick It” There are very simple
instructions for you to follow along to.
1.Put your four sevens on top of your card
stack.
2.Put the cards back into their cardboard box.
3.Choose a volunteer from your audience.
4.Take the cards out from your box and hand the first four to the
audience member. (They should be instructed not to look at the cards.)
5.Explain that you’re going to ask them 5 questions. They
should answer with whatever pops into their head first.
6.Ask what is: 1+1? What is 2+2? What is 4+4? What is 8+8?
7.Then, ask for a number between 5 and 12.
8.They won’t be expecting that and will probably answer
“7”
9.You then turn over all of the 7’s you had set up in the
beginning and they will be amazed!
Doing easy card tricks is a great way to
pass the time and entertain your friends and family. They might seem
complicated at first, but soon you’ll be doing them with no
effort at all. Everyone will wonder where you got your magical powers.
