This card trick is very impromptu and can be done with a borrowed deck. There is no need to practice and no sleights needed.

Trick:

You predict a card without even touching the deck.

Method:

You hand a whole deck to your spectator and tell him to shuffle it. You then tell him to count 26 cards which is half of the deck. As he/she is counting, you remember the seventh card. Then tell him/her to set aside the 26 cards counted. You then write your prediction to a piece of paper. Next, tell him/her to pick any three cards from the other half. After that tell him to put the other half on top of the counted 26 cards. Put the three cards in a row order face up. Tell him for each card how many will he add to make it 10. For example the three cards are a six, seven, and a king. You will add four cards to six, three cards to seven and zero to king as it is considered 10 together with jack or queen. You then add the three cards: six + seven + 10 (king) = 27. You then tell the spectator to get the remaining cards face down and count until the 27th card is reached. The 27th card is the card you predicted.

Here is a another free card trick that requires a bit of preparation and practice. It can be done with a borrowed deck with a little misdirection to perform the flip.

Effect:

The spectator s chosen card appeared to be different from the rest.

Explanation:

You setup the deck with all face down except for one card at the bottom. You spread the card asking your spectator to choose one card. Be careful not to reveal the face up card at the bottom. You tell your spectator to pick the card, look at it, and remember the card but as he does, you flip the cards over. So you have one card face down and the rest face up. You tell your spectator to put the cards somewhere in the middle of the deck. Be careful not to reveal all face up cards. Then tell your spectator that you will put all cards behind you and reveal your card within a split second. What will you do here is you just get the top card and reveal it. This is obviously not his card. You then spread the cards face up to reveal one card that is face down. This is your spectator s card.

Since the beginning of times, human beings have a fascination for the unknown. For instance, our primitive ancestors worshipped lightning and thunder. Some of that secret admiration still remains inside us, and that is the reason why we feel an attraction for magicians.

From little kids’ birthday parties to million dollar shows, these professionals have astonished people on the widest variety of places and situations, including movies, books, TV shows, and so on.

Nowadays, there are magic schools that prepare prospective magicians for their future career. These schools do not only instruct magicians in the arts of disappearing handkerchiefs, or taking rabbits out of hats, but also take care of more complete aspects of artistic expression, such as acting, verbal communications and public speeches, and even dance routines, as these arts are becoming more and more helpful when entertaining an audience that is harder to satisfy day by day.

Every day magicians and magic shows are getting more complex and more complete; today if a magician wants to make a difference between himself and the rest of his colleagues, he needs not only to perform flawlessly, but also be in constant search for new visually impressive tricks to attract a highly demanding audience.

Sadly, this creating process often takes several months or even years, so it is usual for famous magicians to remain out of public appearances for a lot of time, and return to stages once a year or maybe every two years with more and more impressive tricks that leave the eager audience breathless.

Back in the past days, magic schools were an option for magicians to improve their proficiency and get better in what they do; today these institutions are essential even for beginners to learn tricks and prepare themselves for this very competitive field.

Magic is not a hobby anymore, today it is a profitable career. It all depends on preparation and creativity.
