If you're ready to learn five easy card
tricks, let's get started.
I think this is one of the best card
tricks that you can perform. You bring out a
deck of cards and then you take some
cards off the top. Here you ask a
spectator to remember one of the cards.
We're going tocall this one "number one."
This one "number two" and this one "number
three." Now let's say they pick "number two"
which is the five of hearts. At this
point as the magician, you will not know
that they pick the five of hearts. In
fact, you can have the spectator mix the
deck up ahead of time before you perform
this trick. So you truly do not know what
this is. You just know that they picked number
two or the second card. Place them all in
and then you count "one," "two." Now seemingly
lost in the deck you're now going to
perform the magic. You're going to take
your finger in, charge it up with some
massive amounts of static electricity
and with that it's going to help you
perform a trick. Hhere we go "one,"
"two," "three" and the card rises from the
deck.
Here's how to do the rising card. Now for
purposes of explanation here we're going to
use the ace of hearts, two of hearts and
three of hearts, which should make it a
little easier to learn the trick and
understand it. Although when actually
performing the trick, you'll just use a
mixed deck. These three cards could be
any three cards . So let me show you how
this works. Once again, we have the ace,
two, and three to represent "one," "two," and
"three" - they're just underneath and then a
card is on top. Here's the setup. When you
display the cards in a fan, what you do
is you pull out the top card and then
pull out the next three cards just like
this. And by holding your thumb here, you
can actually hold the fan of these three
cards. Now let me show you from the other
side. As you can see, we have our ace, two,
and three representing "one," "two," and "three."
Now what spectators don't know is from
this perspective - this is your
perspective - you have an extra card on
top. But when you show this to the
spectators, all they see is what
they think are the top three cards. And
that's when you ask them to to remember
one of the cards. We're going to call this
one, "one," this one "two" and this one "three."
Then let's say they pick "two" which would
be the two of hearts. From the back
perspective, you take and gather the
cards, and push them down. But what spectators
don't know is that there's an extra card here.
Now our spectator in this case chose "two,"
So that's when you count. "one," let's see
this is an indifferent card - whatever it is.
It just happened to be a two of diamonds
and you place it in the deck. Take
the second card that they think this is their
card, the two of hearts, but it is not.
It's actually the ace that goes in the
deck but spectators now think that their
card has been lost inside of the deck.
What they don't know is that their
selected card, the second one, is actually
on top of the deck.
And that's the setup. The spectator's
selected card is automatically on top of
the deck and actually you can use this
technique for any find a card trick.Now
we're ready for the second part, the
levitation or rise the card.
Here's where you make the chosen card
seemingly rise out of the deck.
Take your finger with your right hand -
remember your spectator's card is on
top. And you count "one," "two," "three" and on
"three," you extend the pinkie right here.
And now to make the card rise, you press
down with the pinky and the card goes up
with it and draw out the card to
show that it's their card, the two of
hearts.So once again, it's "one," "two," "three"
pinky is extended, push the pinky into the
card and cause the card to rise up. And
then grab it and show the two of hearts.
And that is the rising card trick.
To find a card and create a royal flush
you use any deck of cards. To start you
take out a royal flush of any suit of
your choosing. I happen to have chose the
diamonds here. Gather up your royal flush
and turn it over. Now take a "5." It could
be of any suit and place it on top of your
royal flush. And place all this at the
bottom of the deck. So what you'll have
at the bottom of your deck is a royal
flush in a suit and a face up "5" shown here
from the other direction. Now you're
ready to begin the trick. You have a
spectator select a card - remember don't go
too far down, otherwise they might see
that face-up card. In this case, we're
going to say they selected the queen of
spades. Have them show the card around,
place it on top of the deck and then you
just give it a cut, apparently losing
their card in the deck. What's happened
is that when you cut the cards,
that means the "5" and it's 5 cards (royal flush) are on
top of the spectators card just due to
your setup. So at this point, you just go
through the cards looking for something
and say "aha" there's a face up "5." That
always tells me something. I can count 5
cards "1," "2," "3," "4," "5" and after that the next
card will be your card, which it is. And
now for phase two you can turn over each
cards that were in-between and show a
complete royal flush.
Here's how to perform the counting card
trick. All you'll need is a deck of
standard cards. There is a set up ahead
of time. What you do is take out the 1
through 10 of one suit.
So here I've used the hearts so I have 1
through 10, ace through 10 of hearts
and they're arranged with the ace in
front and the 10 in the back. This goes
on the bottom of the deck. So once again,
we have ace through 10 and then we have
the rest of the cards in whatever order
they happen to be in.  Now a spectator
randomly selects a card and it really
is random. So you can offer the deck to
have a card selected. In this case,
we're going to say that they picked the
queen of spades. Have the deck resting on
the table. Make sure you haven't changed
the order on the bottom, ace through
10. You have the spectator take their
card and place it on top of the deck. And
then you ask them to lose the card by
cutting. So they can cut the deck and at
this point this is where you say that
the cards will be under the spectators
control. Turn the deck face-up and then
you ask the spectator to cut. Now you
have them cut continually, it might take
a while. Sometimes you have several cuts
but eventually one of the hearts will
appear - one of your one ace through ten
of hearts will appear.. And at this point,
you stop and say "you've been cutting the
cards, mixing it up. I see the number three." And then
you have them count from the top, "one," "two," "three" and it will be their card. Now this
works for any of the hearts. Let's say
you happen to see the number seven was
the one that they had cut to. Then you
would count one, two, three, four, fiv,e six,
seven, and again that would be their card.
And this is the counting card trick. I
think you'll have a lot of fun with this.
I like it because the spectator has the
cards in their control and seemingly,
they've arranged the deck so it reveals
their hidden card.
Here's how to do the spell to a card
trick. You use an ordinary deck of cards
and for the purposes here, we're going to
say that the ace of spades is on the
bottom of the deck. Now in practice you
can always use the ace of spades
if you like. But you could have the
spectator shuffle the deck and then
whatever card is on the bottom, if you
just remember it, then you can use that
card. But for purposes of explanation,
we're going to say that the bottom card is the
ace of spades. And again, you're welcome
to, in practice when you're performing
the trick, always have the ace of spades
on the bottom. So what you do is you have
a card selected and in this case we're
going to say the spectator selected the 10
of clubs.
Now when the spectator is showing the
card around, here's a good time for you
to look through the deck and you can
actually take your ace of spades and put
it on the bottom. Or you can just
casually glance at the bottom card,
whatever it is. You want to do it now as
the spectator shows the card. You place the
deck on the table, ask your spectator to
place the card on top and then give it a
cut. Or you can give it a cut to place
the card card somewhere near the middle.
Now comes the spelling part. You tell the
spectator that you're not sure where the
card is or what it is, but by trying to
read their mind, you're going to go
through the deck and see you can get an
impression of their card. Now what you're
doing here is you're just looking for
your ace of spades and there's the ace
of spades there. Obviously, you're not
telling the spectators that but once you
spot the ace of spades you can look at
the card in front of it which is the 10
of clubs and then you know their card.
Now remember, you're showing and
just kind of going through the cards
looking for your ace of spades.
Once you find it, now you know the card
in front of it is the 10 of clubs. That's
the spectators card. Now you begin to
spell "T" spell in your mind... t, e, n, o, f, c, l,
u, b, s, and then,
just at this poin,t you just place the
rest of the cards on the front. And you
could just say something like "gosh I
just didn't seem to get much of an
impression but I have one more thing up
my sleeve. Ask them to tell you the card.
They're going to say 10 of clubs and now
you've positioned the cards so their
10 of clubs is at the point where you
spell 10 of clubs. Let's spell it t, e, n,
o, f, c, l, u, b, s 
and it'll be the 10 of clubs. This works for
any card.
That's the spell to a card trick.
Here's a card trick and the technique
has applications for other tricks. You'll
notice that I've got this big card on me
here.
You don't play solitaire in a phone
booth with this baby, let me tell you.
Jokes aside, I don't know why I'm wearing
this card on a clip on my shirt. It's
just the way I roll
and I have with me here a deck of cards.
Now we can shuffle the cards and such. I
mean just give it a quick shuffle here
and I do want to show you there's all
kinds of cards.
So different cards. Now we're going to do
something kind of interesting to try and
select a card. I'm going to ask you, the
spectator, to cut just a few cards from
the top ,maybe less than ten. So let's say
your spectator cuts the cards and I want
you to turn them face-up. Done. Now for
the second cut, we're going to cut a little
deeper into the deck. So we ask the
spectator again to cut, maybe about
halfway down, and turn the cards over. Now
the spectators done all the cutting and
then you tell the spectator to go
through the deck and look for the first
facedown card. It happens to be this one and
this card happens to be the ten of
hearts. now is there any relevance to a
ten of hearts? Well it turns out that I
do have this card on my shirt here and
oh ,what do you know? It just happens to
be the ten of hearts. Here's how to do
the trick- how to perform the
prediction. Now in this case, I'm using a
giant card which i think is kind of fun.
You do not need a giant card. All you
need to do is get a piece of paper, write
your card, a playing card on it, whatever
you would like, because the spectator
does not have a choice of the card.
They're selecting, in this case, I'm using
ten of hearts. I'm using a jumbo card.
Again, just write ten of hearts or
whatever card you want to use on a piece
of paper. Have it face down or fold it up.
For the trick, all you need to do is
find
your card, which happens in this case to
be the ten of hearts, whatever card you
want to use. I'll take the ten of cards
hearts. Take the 10 of hearts, place it on
top of the deck and you're ready to
begin the trick. You bring out something
a folded piece of paper with the name of
a playing card on it or you can just
have another playing card of a different
color. Or is I did here, the jumbo card.
Remember, your card ten of hearts is on
top, which matches your card for the end.
Now you're ready for the trick and what
you're going to do is ask the spectator
to cut a few cards off the top and turn
them face-up, which I've done here. Phase
two. 
Yes the spectator cuts a little more
cards in the deck and turn them over again.
At this point, you tell the spectator
that they have mixed the cards in all
kinds of different directions and you
want them to go through the deck and
find the first facedown card, which they
do. And this facedown card will be the
card that was originally on top which
matches your prediction. Well I hope you
