Step 1: Mind Reading Card Trick

This trick will have your audience believing you can read their minds.

Materials Needed

• A standard deck of playing cards

Instructions

1. Allow Spectator to Shuffle
   Give the deck to your spectator and let them shuffle as much as they want. This adds to the illusion of fairness.

2. Turn the Deck Over
   While holding the deck, turn it around so the bottom card is facing you.

3. Dealing Cards

   • Hold the deck in a grip where your thumb is at the back and your fingers are at the front.
   • With your other hand, come under the deck to start dealing cards.
   • As you deal, push the bottom card slightly to the side and start pulling cards off the top, ensuring you don’t deal the bottom card.

4. Spectator Says Stop
   Let the spectator say "stop" at any point. Show them the card that they stopped at and ask them to remember it.

5. Reveal the Card
   Pretend to read their mind and confidently state their card, which you had seen when you turned the deck.

Tips

• Practice the grip and dealing motion to make it smooth.
• Maintain eye contact with the spectator to enhance the illusion.

Step 2: Rising Card Trick

This trick makes it look like a card rises back to the top of the deck.

Materials Needed

• A standard deck of playing cards

Instructions

1. Prepare the Deck
   Hold the deck in your dominant hand.

2. Riffle the Back
   Use your thumb to riffle the back of the deck until only two cards remain.

3. Show the Card
   Pick up the two cards as if they are one and show the selected card to your spectator.

4. Place the Card in the Middle

   • Place the top card (the indifferent card) into the middle of the deck, while keeping the other card on top.
   • Snap your fingers, and the selected card will appear to have risen back to the top.

Tips

• The key is to make the two cards look like one; practice this to avoid detection.
• Use a confident presentation style while performing the trick.

Step 3: Indicator Card Trick

In this trick, you will use an indicator card to reveal the spectator's selected card.

Materials Needed

• A standard deck of playing cards
• A setup with four aces on the bottom of the deck and one card (like the five of hearts) placed face up.

Instructions

1. Setup the Deck
   Place the four aces face down at the bottom of the deck, with one card (e.g., five of hearts) face up on top of them.

2. Spectator Chooses a Card
   Spread the cards and let the spectator choose one card. Ensure they do not see the bottom cards.

3. Cut the Deck
   Have the spectator place their chosen card on top and cut the deck. Make sure they only cut without disturbing the setup.

4. Reveal the Indicator Card

   • If they cut to the face-up card, you can show it as is.
   • If not, perform a flourish (like spinning the deck) to indicate that one card has flipped face up.

5. Count to the Spectator’s Card
   Count down five cards from the indicator card to reveal their selected card.

Tips

• Ensure the spectator only makes a simple cut to avoid ruining the trick.
• Keep the performance light and fun to enhance the magical experience.
