A few simple and easytolearn magic tricks
The secret is revealed as follows:
(1) The playing cards themselves are not a secret; they can be borrowed temporarily. The secret lies in the moment when an audience member selects a pile of cards from the performer's hand, looks at the top card, and shows it to the audience.
(2) At this moment, the performer quickly flips the bottom card of another pile of cards, making it face up, and then flips the second-to-last card, also making it face up. These two card flips are the key to the magic trick; once completed, the trick is complete.
(3) The audience member moves the cards according to your two-step method. The first step is to move the top card to the bottom, which prepares for the second step. The second step is to flip the top card, a deceptive move. The audience member imagines the card being flipped face down to face up, unaware that the performer had already flipped it face up, but now, after the audience member flips it, it is face down, aligned with the other cards.
(4) Finally, the audience member unfolds the cards, face down, and sees a flipped card face up, believing it is the card they flipped behind them, when in fact this card is right on top of the card they remember.
(5) So when the audience sees a card they remember behind the flipped cards, they are amazed.

Basic card shuffling techniques
: Please read patiently~~~ Magic card shuffling method: Magic card shuffling is completely different from ordinary card shuffling. In card magic, most tricks involve shuffling, the purpose of which is to shuffle the cards drawn by the audience or the cards needed by the performer to achieve the desired effect. After the performer is proficient in magic card shuffling, the shuffling action becomes very natural. To the audience, there seems to be no special technique, but the performer can do whatever they want. Therefore, to perform card magic, you must first learn magic card shuffling. There are more than ten basic methods; four examples are given here for reference.
1. Bridge Deck Break: Lay the deck face down, allowing the spectator to draw a card. The performer gathers the deck together, holding it in their left hand and grasping the top half with their right. While the spectator watches the drawn card, the performer lowers their right hand, using their thumb and four fingers to slightly squeeze the deck in their right hand, forming a bridge shape. The spectator places the drawn card on the back of their left hand, and then the performer places the right-hand card on top of the left-hand card. The deck is then flattened on the table, and the left hand releases its grip. Due to the elasticity of the top half, the bridge shape reappears. At this point, the boundary between the top and bottom halves of the deck is clear, with the drawn card still below the boundary (above the bottom left half). The performer then uses their four fingers to hold the deck from the front (towards the spectator) and place it on top. The deck should not be disturbed. Generally, the deck is shuffled twice. To keep the drawn card at the bottom of the deck, after the spectator draws a card, use your left hand to squeeze the cards, forming a bridge shape with a portion of the cards in your left hand. Then, have the spectator place the card on top of the deck in their left hand, and repeat the process.
2. Little Finger Method: With the entire deck of cards face down, have the spectator draw a card. Hold the deck in your left hand, with your thumb on the left and the other four fingers on the right. Before the spectator inserts the drawn card, pick up a portion of the cards with your right hand and place the drawn card on the back of the deck in your left hand. While your right hand is pressing down on the drawn card, insert your left little finger into the middle of the deck to hold the drawn card down. Then, draw as many cards as you like and place them on the back of the deck. If you draw the lower half of a card below your little finger, you can place that card on the back of the deck. Afterward, if you continue to draw and shuffle, you must again use your little finger to hold down the card, otherwise it will become messy. If you need to keep this drawn card at the bottom, you can press down on it firmly with your little finger and remove the card below it; it will then remain at the bottom.
3. Forced Card Drawing Method: The "forced card drawing method" is one of the important techniques in card magic, with a wide range of applications. It is crucial not only in small magic tricks but also frequently used in stage magic to achieve amazing effects. The purpose of forced card drawing is to allow the audience to draw a card that they need from several other cards. For example, in acts like "Guessing Cards Correctly" and "Blindfolded Card Reporting," the performer can read the name of the card drawn by the audience. Many stage magic acts, such as "Cards Rising from a Cup," "Five-Star Flying Cards," "Burning Cards Restored," and "Cards Escape into Balloons," cannot be performed without this method. How can you force a card to be drawn? At first glance, it seems impossible, but once you know the method and practice diligently, it is foolproof.
The first method is to see the face-up cards when shuffling them, making them "known cards." With the cards face down, draw the bottom half of the cards and place them on top of the top half. When placing the cards, extend them slightly forward, with the bottom half at the back. This makes the faces of the two halves of the cards noticeably uneven (the front half is the "known card"). Then, spread the cards out, with the "known card" protruding forward and the corners of the remaining cards tucked back into the edges. The performer intentionally hands the "known card" to the audience member who draws a card. In this situation, the audience member is generally willing to draw an easy card, but because the corner of the "known card" is exposed and the other corners are tucked back, it's difficult to draw, and even if the audience member draws, they can't hold onto the corner.
The second method is for the performer to slowly spread the cards out, saying to the designated audience member, "Please draw one card." Instead of immediately presenting the "known card" to the audience member, the performer first presents the other cards. There is always a distance between the performer and the audience member. The performer deals the cards while the audience reaches out, their fingers slowly approaching the cards. When their fingers touch the cards, they should coincidentally touch a "known card." The performance should appear effortless. It's best to choose someone unfamiliar, an elderly person, or a child as the target. If the audience insists on drawing a different card, the performer should improvise and pass the card to another audience member. This is forcing one card to be drawn; there are also forced draws of two to five cards. The performer can pre-place all the "known cards" on the face-up cards, performing the same action. However, it's important not to give all the cards to one audience member; each person should only draw one. While practicing the "forced card drawing method," also learn the "forced card insertion method." If you understand this, it's not difficult to insert the audience member's drawn card above or below a "known card." A few
simple and easy-to-learn magic
tricks: The magician holds a deck of cards, with an Ace of Spades and an Ace of Clubs on the table. The magician begins to deal the cards neatly, then asks the audience to stop. When the audience yells "Stop!", the magician places the Ace of Spades on top of the dealt deck, then neatly folds the deck and places it at the bottom of his hand. He arranges the cards. The deck is dealt again, and the audience yells "Stop!" again. The magician places the Ace of Clubs on top of the dealt deck, then neatly folds the deck. He places the folded deck at the bottom of his hand. The magician places the deck on the table, unfolds it, and takes out the Ace of Spades and the card above it, placing them to the side of the table. Then he takes out the Ace of Clubs and the card above it. Unfolding the two cards reveals four Aces on the table, astonishing the audience. Secret: Before the magic trick, simply place the Ace of Hearts on top of the deck and the Ace of Diamonds at the bottom. Follow the steps above. Preparation
for the Four Kings
: First, select the four Kings from the deck. Then, choose two other cards and insert them after the second King. (Note: The six cards must be neatly arranged, and the audience must not notice that there are two other cards among the four "Kings".)
Magic Steps:
1) Fan out the deck of "Kings" to show the audience (hiding the two miscellaneous cards behind the third King), then gather the four cards (actually six) face down and place them on top of the deck.
2) Tell the audience that these four "Kings" are very good friends and they will never be separated.
3) Place the top "King" at the bottom of the deck; you can show this card to the audience.
4) Insert the next top card (not a "King") into the middle.
5) Repeat step four.
6) Now leave the fourth card on top. You can turn it over to show the audience that it is a "King".
7) While cutting the deck from the middle and placing the bottom half on top, you can explain to the audience: "The four kings are very good friends, so even if they are separated, they will soon be back together."
8) Fan out the entire deck, showing the audience that the four "Kings" have magically come together.
Pure Hand Magic Card Recognition Method:
Use an ordinary deck of cards, have the audience shuffle it randomly, and let them choose one card to hand to the magician. At this time, the magician's right thumb is down and the other four fingers are up, making the card vertical and facing away from the magician. Note that the hand position should be lower than the magician's chest. Use your fingers to make the card arch inward, so that you can see the number and suit of the card in the corner. Note that the movement should be natural and fast, and the card should not bend too much. As long as the card position is low, you can just see the number. This method needs to be performed well. Thank you, thumbs up!!
Finding a Playing Card
:
(
1) The performer takes a deck of cards, unfolds it and shows the face and back of the cards, indicating that there is no secret.
(2) After shuffling the cards several times, the performer invites an audience member to the stage and shuffles the cards several more times. The performer extends both hands, palms up, and asks the audience member to divide the cards into two piles, face down,
and place them on the performer's left and right palms respectively. (3) The performer says to the audience member on stage: "Choose one pile from the two piles, take this pile, and carefully look at and remember the top card. Show it to the audience, but don't let the performer know. Then put the card you looked at back on top of this pile."
(4) The performer places the other pile on top of the pile chosen by the audience member and says: "Do you know where the card you looked at is in the whole deck?" The audience member says: "No." The performer says: "If you do it my way, you'll know where it is."
(5) Then the audience member is asked to face down and move the cards behind their back. First, move the top card to the bottom of the deck. Second, flip the top card over so it's face up and randomly insert it into the middle of the deck. After completing these two steps, bring the entire deck in front of you.
(6) The performer says, "Spread out the deck, face down, find the card you just flipped face up, and the card below it is the one you clearly saw and remembered." The audience member does as instructed, and indeed it is the card they clearly saw and remembered, which they then show to the audience.
(7) Why is it that the card flipped by the audience member is inserted exactly above the card they clearly saw and remembered when they insert the deck behind them? It's truly mysterious.
