Magic Tricks for kids: Card Trick 'Impossible
Prediction'
Wow your friends and family with this baffling
card trick. They'll be desperate to know how
you did it.
You will need:
A deck of cards, a pen, and some paper.
Preparation:
Before you begin, pick a card and put it at
the top of the deck. Write or draw what the
card is on a piece
of paper, then hide the paper.
Performance:
1.Take the deck of cards in one hand and slide
the top card into your other hand. As you
do this, ask an
audience member to pick a card.
2.Holding the card in place with your fingers,
spread the rest of the deck on top. Tell your
volunteer to
say "stop" after choosing a card.
3.When the volunteer says stop, split the
deck in two. As you do, secretly slide the
hidden card under
the card where you cut the deck.
4.Hold up the deck. If you did the trick right,
the hidden card will be the card at the bottom,
instead
of the one your volunteer picked.
5.Ask the volunteer to read the chosen card
aloud. After this, direct him or her to the
paper you hid earlier.
Your prediction will come true.
