Card magic is so popular. Most everyone has experienced being the recipient of a trick using a deck of cards. The greatest magicians as well as anyone “pretending” to be a magician has pulled out a deck of cards and requested, “pick a card, any card”. The fact of the matter is that there are hundreds, if not thousands of card tricks. But what do the majority of them have in common? They require the spectator to “pick a card”. This is the basis for most card magic.
Now, there are certainly card tricks that don’t require choosing, for instance the famous 2-card Monte, or something where you magically make the aces change into hearts, etc. But if you really think about it, the majority of card tricks require choosing in some way. It’s what is done with the chosen card that can either bore your participant because they have seen it a hundred times, or can absolutely blow their mind.
So if you are going to attempt card magic, you must think outside of the box. You must reveal their chosen card in such a unique way, that they are left thinking about your trick for days! Do something with their card that is totally unexpected and you will have them hooked! Most people are just expecting you to sift through the deck and simply pull out their card. No one would expect you to do something such as, pulling his or her card out of a sealed envelope. Or having their card appear under a tablecloth. How about having their card appear inside the spectator’s purse, or in their coat pocket.
Do the next time you pull out a deck of card and ask, “pick a card, any card”, be prepared to do something special.
