Magic Tricks Done With Cards, This Mind Reading Trick Is Easy Enough For A Child To Do.

“Forcing a card” is the name of a famous magic card trick and what we have done is made a version of this trick. It is a favourite of magicians  probably because it is so amazing to witness yet so easy to perform. This easy trick could be convincing even when a child performs it.

Supplies: 

All that is needed is a deck of cards, any kind or size will do.

For starters:

For starters choose a single card and that will be the one you want your audience to choose. Mistakenly they believe they have a chosen card but in reality you have make the choice beforehand. It is important to remember which card you choose. Remembering which card you have is the only real skill in the trick. Actually, remembering the card that you choose beforehand is the only hard part of the trick. Put the card you chose before on the top of the deck.

This is phase one:

Someone must select a number between five and ten so group together some people and ask a single person. The number they choose is of no consequence. It may be ten, seven, eight, six, nine or five. Be sure the cards are facing down. So now they tell you their choice and you answer with, “Please count backwards from ten through the deck. You can do it like this.” Once they have been told this you take the deck of cards back from them and begin to make a pile on the table counting from the number they just said. If they said six then you must take the top card from the deck and keeping it face down put in on the table and say six. Now the remainder of the cards will be dealt out while you count them continuing from the first card for instance, “eight, nine and ten.” Remember the ëforced card’ which you chose at the start well this card is now on the top of the deck on the table.

Gather up the cards you have just counted and placed on the table and place them on top of your pile but keep them facing down. Give the audience member the deck of cards and ask them to count to ten while going through them. Tell them to lay out each card while they count. Tell them not to let you see it but the tenth card is their card. Ask them to show it to their friends but don’t let you see it.

The Conclusion:

The card they are holding is being focused on by you and let them know that the answer is coming to your mind. After a minute of thinking hard you telling them that, “the card isÖ” You chose a ëforced card’, this is the same as the chosen card by the audience member and also the one at the top of the deck. If you had chosen the Ace of Diamonds as your forced card then you would say, “I believe you are holding the Ace of Diamonds.” Of course, this is exactly the card they have in their hand. They have no idea the card they choose was the one you made them choose. The trick will leave them shocked.
