Card Magic / Playing Card Tricks (1–10)
Magic where all the aces come together
This is a mysterious magic trick where four aces appear on the top.
You shuffle the deck and turn over cards until your spectator says ‘stop,’ separating the cards into four piles as you go.
In the end, you cast a spell and the top card of each pile turns out to be an ace.
The secret is that you first set aside the four aces and shuffle only the rest of the deck without disturbing them.
That way, the last four cards will be the aces, so no matter where the spectator says stop, the top cards at the end will be the four aces.
Sweep Change
The magic trick where the top card changes into a different card when you sweep your palm over it, known as the “Sweeping Change,” is also one of the classic card tricks.
It’s a very simple trick, but without practice, you can’t perform it smoothly.
It seems magicians, too, need 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.
A prophecy of numbers using a calendar
It’s a magic trick using a calendar.
First, have someone outline a 4-column by 4-row block of numbers on the calendar.
The magician then predicts the total and writes it down on a note.
Next, ask them to circle any one number and draw lines through the entire row and column of that number.
From the remaining numbers without lines, have them choose another number and do the same—circle it and draw lines through its row and column.
Repeat this two more times, and then add up the four chosen numbers.
When you open the note, the predicted total matches perfectly! The secret is that if you add the numbers on the two diagonals of the 4×4 block and then double that sum, you get the final total.
It’s a curious number trick that stays entertaining even after you reveal the method.
A magic trick of guessing a card
This is a magic trick where you correctly name a single card chosen from a thoroughly shuffled deck.
Watching it, you’d think there’s no way to know where the selected card is because everything is so mixed up, right? But once you know the secret, it’s very simple: when you split the deck into two piles, remember the bottom card of the pile you didn’t use.
When that pile is cut, bring that remembered card to the top.
Then just remember the number of cards in the selected group and in the other group.
With this method, your secret should stay safe no matter how many times you perform it.
Magic in which cards of the same type gather together by a mysterious power
This is an introduction to a magic trick where cards with the same number mysteriously gather together.
It requires virtually no practice and you can try it right away.
First, secretly set up four 3s at the very bottom of the deck.
Make sure not to let your spectator see this, and even when you shuffle, keep those bottom four cards in place while shuffling from around the middle.
Then you produce the four 3s.
Because it’s simple, you’ll need to use some clever patter so the spectator doesn’t catch on.
Card Magic / Playing Card Tricks (11–20)
Card magic where the prediction comes true
There are three cards laid out, and an empty box is placed on top for the spectator to choose.
It’s a magic trick where you correctly predict which card will be chosen.
You might wonder how, but once you know the method, it’s really simple: just prepare three separate predictions.
Hide them on the back of a card, on the underside of the placed box, and inside the box.
That’s it! It’s so easy that even elementary school kids can do it.
Self-working card magic that you can definitely do once you learn the steps
It’s a fascinating card trick where, after randomly dividing the cards and performing a few moves, the Aces and Kings suddenly appear together.
Although the initial way you deal the cards is casual, you start with four Aces and four Kings arranged together.
You take one card to the bottom of the pile and deal to the other piles; next time you move two cards to the bottom, and so on.
For some reason, the selected cards end up appearing at the very top and bottom.
As long as you follow the steps, this mysterious trick works every time.
