The Awesome Vanishing Ace Of Diamonds
If you like simple to learn and pretty impressive card tricks, then you've come to the right place. You'll be able to perform this trick after only a few minutes practice. It does require a little bit of set up before you face your audience, so you can only do this trick once. This is popular with kids, as it doesn't require any high level sleight of hand skills.
This is how the stunt will appear to your astounded audience. You take three Aces: Spades, Clubs, and Diamonds. You hold them out, holding them to the audience. Then you place them on top of the deck, and mix up and cut the deck a number of times, ensuring that they have been evenly dispersed.
You then ask a volunteer to come up and search for the Ace of Diamonds. They will look in vain, as they won't be able to discover it. If you like, you can get a different audience member to come up and search, but they too will be disastrous. Then you pull the Ace of Diamonds out of your shirt pocket. (Or your back pocket, or shoe, or wherever.)
Here's how to set the ploy up. First unearth all the Aces. Then put the Ace of Diamonds in your pocket (or shoe or wherever) beforehand. Then lay the other Aces on top of the deck. When you pull the three Aces off the top, and fan them out, make sure to hold the Ace of Hearts in the heart. If you place both other cards on either side of the Ace of Hearts, it will look like the Ace of Diamonds to the audience.
How you sound this is important. If you mention beforehand that you are going to make the Ace of Diamonds fade away, they will be looking much more intimately. But if you just start of by recounting what you are doing, and then name the three cards (Ace of Clubs, Spades, and Diamonds) they will likely have faith in you, and not glance too closely at the three cards.
One way that can incredibly help is as you are shuffling and cutting the deck, is to impart some long winded story about how diamonds have some kind of paranormal power, and in the old days when they were choosing the shapes for cards, they almost didn't choose diamonds because people were always stealing them, or they were always disappearing or something. That way, when they start thinking about the Ace of Diamonds, it will already be secreted someplace in the deck, or so they suppose. Have fun with this trick. - 2361
