What are your favorite magic tricks?

Answer 1

Card tricks are all sleight of hand. Take this video for example (YouTube video clip here-)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7Xq2BmEm3s / don't worry about the video name - the video is about Justin miller performing a card trick with the black tiger gaff deck of cards, now as said it is all sleight of hand - for example a very basic trick would be this

1. grab a deck of cards (fanning powdered if you wish)

2. take 2 of the cards on top but make sure they are EXACTLY on top of each other (this is called the double lift)

3. place them both back on top of the deck, now take the TOP card / the 1 top card - and place it on a table (preferred flat smooth surface

4. now take the second card (the whole deck is face down by the way) and wave it over the first card, now seeing as we double lifted 2 cards at the top, they think that the second card / which you know that it is/ is the top card so after you wave the second card over the first then turn them other and they will think they have switched

5. it may be a bit hard to understand at first / but it is a easy trick made by David Blaine - a cardistry person /

6. - There is a link to card tricks below (i think)

7. i hope i helped - the deck is the Black Tiger Gaff Deck, it is a gimmicked deck, and you place gimmicked cards inside a real deck of black tigers (made by ellusionist - on eBay for £7 - 8) and then perfrom sleight of hand to make people think that you can do card magic :)

A Bonus Step If You Will - you can go up to people which a real deck with gimmicked cards in and show them tricks, could be people you know and could be complete strangers

First, have the spectator pick a card. Tell them to memorize it. Then take part of the deck off of the top and turn it over. Tell the spectator to put his card face down into the deck. While he does this, secretly memorize the card that is turned over. Then, put it back on. Do an overhand shuffle (if you know how,) and find the card you memorized earlier in the deck. Their card will most likely be on top of it.

Answer 2

If you tell a person that all your cards are weak then he picks his weakest one then you pick a ultra powerful card use it when your opponent has 1 card left if it doesn't work just fake cry for it

Answer 3

Place the King of Hearts and Queen of Diamonds at the top and bottom of the deck, without being seen. Then show the person the Queen of Hearts and Queen of Diamonds and tell them to remember the cards. Now place the cards, one at a time, clearly into the middle of the deck with the person watching you. Now tap the deck and tell them you are going to produce their cards. With them watching you all the time slide the top and bottom cards off the deck at the same time and show them. The person will be convinced that they were the cards you put into the middle of the deck.

place the 10 of dimonds on the top of the deck and put the 4 of hearts on the bottom of the deck secretly then show the person you are presenting the trick too the 10 of spades and the 4 of dimonds tell them to remember them 2 cards then put them in the middle next tell them you will present the cards to him/her but the 10 will have a dimond on it and the 4 will have a heart on it and mix them up but leave the 10 of dimonds on the top and the 4 of hearts on the bottom so it looks like you mixed them and then slide the 2 cards out and there you have it the 10 of dimonds and the 4 of hearts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
