[Trump Magic] Incredible Magic Reveals. Difficult Tricks for Advanced Performers (41–50)
Color-changing magic, Chicago Opener
You have someone choose a card, return it to the deck, and cast a little spell.
Then the back color of one card changes.
And when you turn over that one differently colored card…
it’s the card they chose! If you do the same thing again, the face of that previously odd-backed card changes.
This magic trick produces unexpected effects and requires techniques like the double lift—showing two cards as one—and top control to bring the target card to the top of the deck.
It’s a challenging trick that you can’t perform without solidly mastering several techniques.
An undetectable card prediction magic trick
You’d be surprised if someone could guess the card you chose from a whole deck, right? Card magic is often performed on TV as well.
In card tricks, finger movements are extremely important.
Magicians secretly palm cards so they’re hidden from view, or hold cards between their fingers while shuffling.
They also put themselves in the spectator’s shoes to read their psychology and guide the trick forward.
Why not learn a variety of magic techniques and challenge yourself with more advanced moves? You might even be able to guess a chosen card from among many in the deck.
The selected card comes out of the case.
It’s a magic trick where you put the deck—after returning the selected card—back into the case, and when you shake the case, the previously chosen card pops out.
The method is that when you return the card to the deck, you secretly pull it out with the other hand and palm it, allowing you to produce the selected card from outside the case.
Since you’ll also be holding the case while the card is concealed in the inside of your hand, be very mindful of your angles so you don’t show the inner side.
After that, move the card to the bottom of the case and slide it out to produce it—done.
If you grip the card too hard it can bend, so keep your hand relaxed and hold the card lightly between your fingers.
Transposition using the snap deal
It’s a magic trick where, while you’re riffling through the deck, a spectator chooses one card, you square up the rest of the pack to restore the deck, then you show the top card and, in the brief moment as you place it on the table, it transforms into the previously selected card.
When you replace the packet containing the chosen card onto the deck, you secretly bring it back to your hand and align it with the top card.
Then, as you table the card, you switch in the selected card and, at the moment it hits the table, you secretly take back the card that was on top while transitioning into spreading the deck on the table.
The angles that conceal the retrieval of the card into your hand and the distance between your hands and the deck are critical points.
Reset
The world of card magic is profoundly deep.
Among its many wonders, reset magic is especially captivating.
The way cards change in an instant enchants everyone who sees it.
Four Aces turn into Queens and then revert back to Aces—the sequence feels freshly astonishing no matter how many times you watch it.
Although it may look simple, it’s actually built on meticulous, sustained practice.
This secret art, born from a magician’s skill and effort, is sure to captivate you as well.
Detective Card
The world of magic is exciting just to watch, isn’t it? But when it comes to advanced tricks, the methods can get pretty complex.
Detective-style card magic feels like solving a mystery.
It packs in not only card-handling technique but also a wealth of surprises that defy the audience’s expectations.
It takes lots of practice, but that’s exactly why the sense of accomplishment when you master it is extraordinary.
Even when you see the explanation, you can’t help but go, “Wow.” And that’s part of the fun.
It’s full of the kind of charm that makes you want to unravel the mystery.
So, why not dive into the world of card magic, feeling like a detective yourself?
The top card instantly teleports into the deck.
In this magic trick, three of the four cards placed on top of the deck vanish, and when you wave your hand over the remaining card, it disappears as well.
Then, when you spread the deck, you discover that the vanished cards have moved to around the middle.
You hold four face-up cards along with a single face-down card, secretly adding cards beneath it, and finally switch the two halves of the deck to bring the four cards to the center.
It’s important to use your pinky to keep a break and accurately track the position of all five cards, as well as to maintain hand angles that don’t reveal the switches and movement.
