Ace Twister

1. Take the four aces out of the deck have them in the order of (from the top face down) ace of hearts, ace of clubs, ace of diamonds and finally the ace of spades.

2. Show the bottom ace (spades) and perform the glide, putting the ace of diamonds on the table.

3. As you do this say "the ace of spades" then perform a bottom buckle with a double lift showing the ace of clubs.

4. Saying "the other black ace the ace of clubs" turn the double over and deal down the ace of hearts (which is the top card). Do some kind of 'magical card trick move' or whatever. The spectator thinks that the aces on the table are black, but low and behold, the black aces are in your hand!

Card Between the Aces

Preparation
1. Take a red ace out of the deck and put it face up on the bottom of the deck.

2. Then take the remaining three aces, putting the red one between the two black ones. Place these on top of the deck. You are now ready to perform the card trick.

Performance
1. Take the first black ace off the top of the deck and show it to the audience. Place the ace facedown on the table.

2. Ask a spectator to choose a card and look at it. Tell them to put the card faceup covering half of the the facedown black ace.

3. Do a double lift and show the spectator the other black ace. Return it to the top of the deck and tell them you will put it on top of the chosen card. You actually are putting the red ace on their card.

4. Secretly make a break at the top card and tell them you will take the cards and put them on top of the deck.

5. Put the three cards, aces facedown, on top of the card you made a break at.

6. Flip over the four cards, the fourth card being the one you made a break at, and show them their card has disappeared from in between the black aces.

7. Cut the cards, which will place the bottom face up ace on top of the card and the other red ace.

8. Spread the cards to show a facedown card between the two red aces. It is the spectators chosen card!

Card Under the Foot

1. Ask a member of the audience to pick a card.

2. Shuffle it to the fourth from bottom.

3. Tell the audience member you will show him four cards,and if he sees his card, not to say anything.

4. Show the bottom card to the volunteer and place it in his hand.

5. Show and place the next two cards in the same way.

6. Show fourth card and then perform the glide, dealing down indifferent card.

7. Overhand shuffle the deck bringing the card to the top.

8. Perform double lift showing indifferent card. Ask if this is it. It won't be.

9. Turn down double lift and place top card(the selection) under his foot. He is holding four cards,and thinks his card is on top.

10. Ask him where his card is,he will say in his hand,on the top. Tell him to turn it over. It is not his card.

11. Tell him to check the other three. Its not there. Ask him if he ever heard of slight of hand, then ask him if he ever heard of slight of foot! Tell him to look under his foot. He will freak.

Joker Party

1. Take three jokers: two red backed (one black, one red) and one blue backed (black). You will not need any more cards for that card trick.

2. Place the blue backed joker on top, the red/red backed joker second, and last the black/red backed joker.

3. Tell the spectator that you have three jokers, one blue backed and two red backed, and show them, making sure they don't see both colors of any joker.

4. In the order described above perform a double lift, letting the bluebacked joker appear to be a red one and not a black one.

5. Then place the blue backed joker at the bottom.

6. Count the cards and bring the blue backed joker to the top again.

7. Show the blue backed joker now without lifting the two cards together, showing the way it is really.

8. The joker now apperars to be BLACK.

9. Palm the red backed and red colored joker, and while giving the other two cards to the spectator put it in your pocket.

10. The spectator has in their hands two jokers: one black/blue backed and one red/red backed. He'll say something like "Well.. What the heck is happening here?!!"

This trick is very simple. It might sound stupid and too easy to impress, but when I presented it to an audience it really worked and created mystery!

Now it should work!

1. Ask a member of the audience to choose a card and bring it to the top.

2. Ask the volunteer to think of any number from 5 to 15, and have them count off that many cards from the top of the pack.

3. Get them to turn over the top card, and ask them if it is their chosen card-it won't be. Have the dealt cards placed back on top of the deck.

4. Ask the volunteer if they are sure they counted correctly. Tell them that it is important to deal the cards slowly, or the magic won't work.

5. Deal off 1 less than the chosen number of cards from the deck slowly and carefully (ie. if the volunteer chose 11, deal off 10). The chosen card is now on top of the remaining deck.

6. Ask the volunteer what their card was and say: "Wouldn't it be amazing if I had your card right here?"

7. Double lift the top two cards, showing the one below the chosen card. Look at the bottom and appear annoyed.

8. Now, you have to blame the card you have revealed for ruining your trick. Imagine, for example, the card was the nine of diamonds. Say something along the lines of "Wouldn't you just know it? I should of guessed. The nine of diamonds is always messing things up, popping up when you don't want it to.

9. Replace the double card on top of the deck, and place the top card (the chosen one) to one side. "There, that should get rid of that nasty nine of diamonds!"

10. Put the dealt cards back on top of the deck.

11. Once again, deal one less than the chosen number of cards (10 for this example), off the top of the deck. "Now it should work!"

12. Lift the top card from the pack. "Nine of diamonds again! Wait a minute, if the nine of diamonds is here... What did you say your card was again?"

13. Turn over the chosen card which you have set to one side on the table. Act disgusted: that nasty nine of diamonds ruined everything!

My Mistake

1. Get a member of the audience to choose a card and return it to the deck.

2. Bring the card to second from the top using a double cut. To bring the card second from the top, you will need to obtain the finger break one card above the chosen one, rather than directly above it.

3. Tell the group something along the lines of: "I know this is going to be amazing, but please hold your applause. I'm going to reveal the chosen card, but it's important that you make no noise at all. Just marvel in silence so that we can all enjoy the enormous impact."

4. Perform a double lift showing the selected card, and name it.

5. Act as if something has gone wrong with the trick. Say something like: "I do apologise. I really don't miss that often. I don't have a clue what went wrong".

6. Return the double card to the top of the deck and slide the top card into the middle of the deck.

7. "Hold on, maybe I can work something out." Ask the volunteer to tell you the name of their card.

8. They will tell you and the audience will be happy to inform you that you have just returned the chosen card to the middle of the deck. Of course, you haven't-it's still on top of the pack.

9. "That's all right. Maybe I can work something out."

10. Tap the top card and turn it over for all to see.

Magic Slide

1. Get a card chosen using a forcing card truck method of your choice.

2. Bring the card to the top of the deck.

3. Do a double lift and announce the name of the chosen card.

4. The audience will tell you that you are wrong (which, of course, you are!)

5. Act surprised and inform the audience that you will now have to try some real magic.

6. Place the two cards down on top of the pack, and pick up the top (chosen) card, being sure not to show it to the audience.

7. Turn the card on it's side and pass it through the middle of the deck.

8. Hold it up to the audience. Magic! It's their chosen card.
