The Grand Mind Reading Card Trick

By Miles Sunkest

This is a fantastic card trick that is both easy and powerfully impressive. You can easily perform this for any aged audience and it will impress them. It is an up close trick, so you'll need a small audience. The great part about this trick is there are many ways to choose the reveal.

Here's the basic trick, as it appears to your audience. You hold a normal deck of cards, and fan it out, like they would suppose. Then you command them to choose a card, any card. They take card, and you tell them to examine it cautiously, and present it to their friends. After they put it back in the deck, you puzzlingly pluck it right out. They will be amazed, and think you have powerful supernatural powers.

Here's how to do the trick. While they are busily learning their card, you part the deck, and make a place for them to set their card. All you need to do is take a instant peak at the card that you will place on top of theirs. Just keep in mind this card, and once they place there's in the deck, you'll know exactly what card comes after. There are quite a lot of ways to reveal this trick.

The most evident way is to simply imagine you are reading their mind while looking through the cards. Then when you get to there's (which is next to the one you peaked at), you just pull it out. This alone will worth the price of admission. But wait, there's more.

You can search through the deck, pretending to look for it. Once you get to there card, divide and re stack the deck so their card is on top. Then place the deck face down on a board, say some magical terms, tap the top, and there card will be on top. But wait, that's not all, there's one more potent reveal.

Once you have their card on top, place the deck behind your back, or under the table. Then immediately take their card out, flip it over, and place it back in the deck, so it's facing the reverse direction of all the other cards. Then pretend that you can't guess their card, and get them to tell you which one it was. Then just look through the deck, now with the cards face up, and there's will be the only card that is face down. This is only a few ways to reveal their card, I'm sure you can think of many others. The more you can talk up your psychic powers of inference before this trick, the better. You'll have a astounded audience in no time, wanting to see more tricks. Have fun with this. - 2361
