This is an easy and fun card trick that you can add to your repertoire. Now, the story can be modified to fit your particular show, and you can use any 4 cards, not just kings. Let your imagination go with this and see what fun variations you can come up with. Here is the trick with the 4 Kings.
Fan out 3 Kings so that your audience can see them. Explain to the audience that the 4 Kings are friends and that one of them got lost in the forest (the deck). Tell your audience that the 3 Kings decide to go looking for the lost King.
Place the 3 Kings on the top of the deck. Explain that one of the 3 decide to look at the farthest edge of the forest…place that King at the back of the deck. Now explain that the 2nd King decide to look in the middle of the forest, place that King in the middle of the deck.
And now explain that the 3rd King decided to stay at the opening of the forest and wait for their friend….keep that King right where he is. Now cut the deck and then fan out the whole deck and show your audience that the 4 Kings have now found each other and they now appear together in the deck.
Here’s how it’s done…. Gather all 4 Kings and also 2 other cards (any cards). Fan the four Kings out , only showing 3 of them, and place the other 2 cards behind the second card. Make sure your audience can’t see them. Show the audience the Kings and explain that they are all very good friends.
Now place the kings on the top of your deck. Show the audience the top King and then place it on the bottom of the deck (this is the one that goes looking at the far end of the forest). Place the 2nd card (not a king) into the middle of the deck Repeat this step again. Then show the audience the last King and leave it where it’s at.
Now cut the deck, putting it back together so that all of your Kings ended up together. Fan them out face up and show your bewildered audience how the 4 Kings found their way to each other.
