This magic card trick is so incredible that it will leave the audience wondering how you ever pulled this off. If you take the time to practice, this is one of the easiest tricks to perform and will become one of the favorites you perform. Here is a step by step detailed instruction on how to perform this cool card magic trick.
1. The key to this magic card trick is in the preparation. If you prepare the deck a certain way, you can pull off this trick very easily. This is the perfect trick for the beginner because it will help you to build up your confidence performing in front of others.
2. Take a deck of standard playing cards and remove the three of diamonds, the three of hearts, the seven of clubs, and the seven of spades. The three and the seven are two cards that more people will choose when asked to select random cards. For that reason, we need them to focus only on the number and not the suit for the trick to work properly.
3. Take the three of hearts and the seven of spades, and place these two cards at the top of the deck. Now place the three of diamonds and seven of clubs at the top of the deck on top of the other two cards. Do not shuffle the deck. It is perfectly prepared for the trick to work properly as is.
4. Place the deck in the box and begin your magic trick by telling the audience that you are going to magically make two cards travel through the deck with your mind. The key to making this trick work successfully is to never call attention to the suits of the cards that the audience member is going to be given.
5. Begin the trick by choosing an audience member. Explain to them you will make their two cards travel through the deck without touching them. Draw the top two cards from the deck and explain to the person as you peel them off that they have the red three and black seven. Let the person quickly look at the cards and show to the group if they like, but time is the essence. Keep emphasizing red three and black seven.
6. Now tell the audience member to take the three and place it anywhere in the deck. Now tell them to take the seven and place it anywhere else in the deck that they like. There is no need to shuffle the deck at this point. You already know that another three and seven are sitting at the top of the deck, the trick is to make the audience believe that the two cards just inserted in the deck will rise to the top.
7. With the two cards buried in the deck, use some magic words, wave the wand, and conjure up the spirits, telling everyone the cards have now traveled from the middle of the deck to the top without you ever touching them.
8. Peel off the top two cards, revealing by magic that the three and the seven somehow got back together and made their way right back to the top of the deck.
