Roll Over

Preparation
Put a double-faces card (bought from most magic card trick shops, or two cards glued back to back) on the bottom of the deck.

Performance
1. Fan the deck out and have a spectator select a card. Ask the spectator to show the card to the rest of the audience, but not to you.

2. While everyone is watching the spectator, turn the deck over. Ask spectator to put the card back into the deck.

3. Pick up the deck hold it on its side for a second with your hands covering both sides. Turn the deck back around and shuffle it, shuffling the double-card into the deck(off the bottom).

4. Tell the spectator(s) something like "not only do I know some tricks, but I have taught some tricks to these cards. Tell the spectator to tap the deck and to say "roll over".

5. Lay the deck on the table and spread them out. The selected card will be face up.

Copycat

1. This card trick requires two packs, each with a different coloured back. Ask a member of the audience to help you and give them one of the two packs-you take the other one. Tell the person to copy what you do

2. Start by both shuffling the pack in your hands.

3. Swap packs, but as you do so, take a peek at the bottom card of the pack you are handing over. Lets say it's the ace of spades for this example.

4. Choose a card from your pack and place it on the top. Instruct your helper to do the same.

5. Each of you cut the pack in your hands. Your helper's chosen card is now the one below the ace of spades.

6. Swap packs again and instruct your helper to remove their chosen card from the pack and place it face down on the table.

7. Forget the card you chose before and remove your helper's chosen card (the one below the ace of spades) and put it face down next to your helper's card.

8. Turn the card over at the same time as your helper, and low and behold, they're the same card!

Card Force

1. You must know what the top card is. Either sneak a peak while shuffling or just look before beginning the trick. No matter what, keep that card on top.

2. After shuffling the cards several times to gain the person's trust (always keeping the same card on top), hold the deck in your left hand with your pinkie, ring, and middle fingers on the back side of the deck.

3. Now take the thumb of the same hand and riffle through the deck, so as to make a shuffling sound and say "tell me when to stop".

4. When they say stop, keep a tight grip on the top card with the three fingers, and pull the top half of the deck, except for the top card, away (quickly, or it is noticeable) letting the "top" card fall on top of the bottom half.

5. Say "there's your card", and ask a member of the audience to look at it. Of course you already know what it is.

6. Hand them the deck and say "put it anywhere in the deck, shuffle it if you want"

7. Take the deck back and pretend to concentrate hard whilst looking through it. Take the cards off the bottom one at a time, putting each one on the top, when you see their card, put it on the top of the deck and then continue to put one more on top of that.

8. Do a double lift and ask if it is their card. It's not. It is now up to you to decide which card trick magic you will use to reveal that you know their card.

Bottom Glance ending with a s

1. First, tell someone to shuffle the deck. When they hand it back to you take a glance at the bottom card.

2. Look at the audience and bring the card that you've seen up to the top. Bring three more cards up from the bottom in the same way.

3. Cut the deck into two packs. The top section goes on the right side and the other section goes on the left.

4. Take the first card from the right pack and put it on to the left pack. Repeat with the next two cards. You now have three cards on the left pack that came from the right.

5. Take the next card off the top of the right pack and show it to the audience. Tell them that this is their card and that they should remember it. Put the card on top of the left pack.

6. Now you can shuffle the deck anyway you like since you know the card already.

7. After shuffling the pack, turn it so upside down so that you can see the faces of the cards.

8. Tell the audience to pick a number from 2-5. While they are distracted with telling you the number, put the card that you showed them second from the bottom of the deck.

9. Ask the audience to count to their chosen number. When they have finished, grab the bottom card and show them. Ask if it is their card. It won't be.

10. When they say no, put the card you just showed them on top of the deck and put the bottom card on the table face down. This is their card.

11. Repeat step 9, putting the cards on top of the chosen card, face down on the table. For example, if their number was three, you would end up with four cards on the table.

12. Tell an audience member to put out their hand and make a scissors shape with their forefinger (pointing finger) and middle finger.

13. Place the the 4 cards between their two fingers, and tell them to squeeze fairly tight.

14. Slap the cards hard enough that the first three cards should fall off their finger. Tell them to turn over the remaining card. It's the same card from the bottom deck at the beginning of the card trick....!
