easy 21 cards pattern magic

1
Take any 21 cards out of a 52-card deck.



2
Lay out the cards, three across and seven down. It is important that you do this correctly. You have to lay down the cards row by row, not column by column.


3
Have someone silently pick one of the cards and tell you what column it is in. (There are only three columns.)


4
Push together each column and place the group of cards in the selected column in between the other two groups of cards.


5
Imagine that the volunteer secretly chose the King of Hearts and then told you that their card was in the middle column. You would pick up the columns and would make sure the selected column was placed so that it was in the middle of the deck.


6
Lay out the cards again in the same way, three across and seven down (row by row).


7
Ask the volunteer where the card is now.


8
Pick up the columns again (second time), as before, making sure the column with their card is in the middle of the deck.


9
Lay them out again, the same way.


10
Ask the volunteer which column the card is in now (third time).


11
Pick up the columns again, as before, making sure the column with their card is in the middle of the deck.


12
If the trick is performed correctly, the chosen card will always be eleventh (if the cards are face-down).

illusion of cards

Steps

1
 Prepare two sets of cards.
 •One set should contain six cards. While you could use any six cards, the illusion is probably most convincing if you use three sequential cards (i.e. 5, 6, 7 as in the picture), and choose one red suit and one black suit for each number.

•The second set should contain five cards chosen from the remaining two suits of each of the three numbered cards. Because there are only five cards, you'll have to leave out one black or red card of one number (the 7 of clubs in this example). It doesn't matter which one you leave out.





2
Choose a friend or audience member.


3
Lay out the set of six cards, face up, in front of the person. Induce a sense of ease and familiarity. These are just ordinary playing cards, after all. Show the person the back of the cards to show them that nothing is amiss.


4
Ask the person to choose one card. Tell him not to touch the card, point to it, or tell you what it is.


5
Pick up the cards and place them in a neat, face-down stack in your hand.


6
Tell the person that you are going to try to read his or her mind to discover the card he or she has chosen. They must concentrate on it to the exclusion of all else, and remember the details thoroughly. Ask him to try to make a picture of it in his mind.


7
Replace the first set of cards with the second. This trick is a little more difficult to perform in person than it is to display online, because you'll need to use some sleight of hand. As you're talking to your volunteer (and thus creating a distraction), switch the two sets of cards so that you hide the first one and now have the second set in your hand. This can be done in a number of ways, such as using a sleeve trick or putting your hand in your pocket (which has the second set of cards in it). Act like you're thinking very hard, and keep talking to the volunteer so he or she won't notice the switch. If you're no good with sleight of hand, see the alternate method below.


8
Display the second set of cards. With much fanfare, lay out the five cards in the second set, one by one. The card the volunteer chose will have vanished! Actually, none of the cards are the same, but they resemble the cards from the first set so closely that the volunteer probably won't notice this.

Card again at the top

1
Tell the participant you are going to use mind control to make a card magically rise to the top of a deck.


 

2
Perform a double lift. As you’re talking, perform a double lift — that is, pretend you are taking just the top card from the top of the deck, but actually pick up the first two cards. Do this without showing that you have two cards. •The critical part here is to remove the two cards so smoothly that the participant believes you are showing them only the top card.



3
Turn the cards over and ask the participant to memorize the card you are showing them — which they think is the top card. In actual fact, it will be the second card that they're seeing but they will think it's the first card.


4
Put the cards back. When they have assured you they have the card memorized, put the cards back on the top of the deck, and make a big show of removing the top card putting it into the middle of the deck. Now the once second card is on top. •Obviously, don’t let the person see the face of the card!



5
Say the magic words, snap or ask the participant to tap on the deck and visualize the card rising toward them.


6
Now flip over the top card, and enjoy their amazement that the card you supposedly shoved in the middle is suddenly back on top!
