Pick a Card, Any Card
Category: Card Trick
Supplies: Deck of cards
Summary: Someone picks a card out of the deck, memorises it, shows everyone apart from you, and returns it to the deck. The deck is mixed. Amazingly, you find their card.
Secret: Remember another card in the deck which magicians call the Key Card and place your spectator’s Card next to it. In order to find the spectator’s Chosen Card you must know where the KeyCard is.
Set up: Ask a person to pick any card and show everyone apart from you. Tell them you can feel which card it is after they cut the deck a couple times.
Method:
Step One: Choose a card to memorize and put it at the bottom of the deck. We will use the Ace of Spades as an example.
Step Two: Ask your spectator to pick a card. Let’s say they choose the 5 of spades. Turn around so you don’t see the card they chose.
Step Three: Have them show anyone else that is around, so that they can’t try to say they chose another card.
Step Four: Cut the deck in half then have the spectator return the card they chose to the top of the deck.
Complete the cut by placing your bottom card (Ace of spades) on top of the spectators chosen card.
Step Five: Key Card is now on top of the 5 of spades. You may now have the spectator cut the deck a few times. Your memorized card will remain next to the spectator’s card.
Important: Don’t shuffle the deck because the Key Card and Chosen Card might get separated.
Step Six: Now spread out the cards flat on a table or in your hands.
Step Seven: Find your key card, The card Under it will be the spectator’s card, the 5 of spades.
Ask the spectator if they see their card – Look away and tell the spectator you are looking away because you don’t want to see what they are looking at.
Step Eight: Cut the spectator’s card to the top of the deck. Ask them the name of the card they chose. Turn over the top card and there it is!

Slide the coin towards you completely covered up. Slide the coin off the table so it falls into your lap. Touch your thumb to your middle finger as if you are picking up the coin as it reaches the edge of the table. Keeping all your fingers closed still. Stare at where the coin should be as you slowly move your hand away from you back to about 6 inches above where the coin originally was.

3 core magic tips
Patter – This is the most important piece of your routine when performing magic. You can take a simple trick and turn it into a whole theatrical event if you can come up with the right dialogue to assist you. Now this is hard to teach but there are some common rules you should follow. One is to always look into their eyes. Make sure you have their attention and they are listening to your every word. Second is humor. Humor is what gets people in a relaxed state and sets them up to be caught off guard as to what you are about to do.
After Effect – Once you have performed your magic trick and your spectator is freaking out as to what they have just witnessed, do not say anything to them. Just stay quiet for a minute and just stare at them. You just let them talk and they will build up what just happened even more just by themselves. Try it yourself.
Confidence – You have to go in knowing that you are going to pull off one of the biggest magic tricks ever. You can’t be going in all nerves, it will show and take away from the trick and the spectator will suspect something right from the start. Practice until you can do it blind folded. You need to come across as you truly are magical and have no doubt that in your mind that you can show someone something truly amazing. Your spectators will feed off this energy and will give you more respect for it.
5 rules of magic
There 5 basic rules of magic. Break one of them and you have ruined the magical mystery of the effect and lost the credibility and respect of the audience.
1. Don’t EVER tell the secret.
Most people will ask how you do a trick. Just say “I never tell my secrets” Don’t be temped to tell them as once you do the mystery is lost and so is the power of the trick.
2. Only perform magic in the perfect situations.
Ideally, you should only perform when asked, but if they have never seen any magic before, test the audience out with one trick. Don’t ever assault someone with trick after trick.
3. Leave them wanting more.
Part of the fun in magic lies in the audience wanting more. So don’t overstay your welcome and start to bore someone. Some people like magic more than others, so you will have to experiment with this.
4. Learning one trick very well is better than learning 100 tricks badly.
The memory of one well performed trick will stick in the memories much better than lots of mediocre tricks. Expand your knowledge by learning many tricks, but focus on only a handful to really perfect.
5. Practice to absolute perfection.
Don’t ever perform a trick you don’t know perfectly. This will take hours, days, weeks and sometimes months to get right.
