Card Tricks
Effect:
The magician picks out two cards. He has a spectator cut the
deck. He flips over the cards that he picked, and then he flips over two
cards of the deck that was cut. The cards match.
Method:
Shuffle the deck so the spectator doesn't think you've rigged it.
Tell them you will pick two cards. Go through the deck making sure you
look at the bottom and the top cards of the deck. Pick out a card that
matches the bottom card. (If the bottom card is a Four of Hearts, you
would pick out the Four of Diamonds to match it.) Then pick out a card
that is the same as the top card. Ask the spectator to cut the deck. Take
the first card, the one on top of the original top of the deck, and flip it
over. Flip the bottom half of the deck over completely. Flip over the cards
you picked.
They all match!
