Simple card magic. Tricks you can do with self-working methods or a bit of technique (41–50)
The color of the deck changes
This is a magic trick where a spectator selects a card from the deck, you cast a spell on it and the picture’s color changes, then you return it to the deck and cast another spell to make the color of the entire deck change.
What you prepare are a deck in the post-change color and the pre-change color card for the selection.
Through controlled mixing and display, you make it appear as though the card they chose has changed.
The card you want them to think they selected always stays at the bottom during shuffling, and by occasionally turning your wrist over, you convince them that the entire deck is the pre-change color.
After that, you use actions like a finger hook to control how you stack and turn cards of the same value—this is the general procedure.

A perfect prediction using playing cards
Magic tricks that are easy to do yet highly surprising are fun and rewarding for the performer, aren’t they? This one is a prediction trick that astonishes everyone by making it look like a perfect prediction.
The kicker is that both the revealed card and the originally predicted card are eights.
The key is to secretly place eights in the 8th and 9th positions from the start.
Pacing and flow are also important, so keep the patter going confidently and proceed in a way that doesn’t reveal the method.
A magic trick that always guesses the spectator’s card
This is a convenient and easy magic trick called the “13 Mysteries” that you can do without any preparation.
There are no special gimmicks or setups—it’s simply based on a straightforward numerical principle—so it won’t get exposed easily and is very handy to perform.
However, people who are good with numbers might occasionally figure it out, so be careful when performing it for such an audience!
In conclusion
How did you like the magic tricks that can be done without any special technique, or with just a little practice? I’m sure there were lots that seemed easy enough to try.
