Awesome Magic Trick Simply Using Cards

Here is a super cool and simple magic card trick to amaze your friends and family.

You will need 1 deck of regular playing cards. Show your audience the stack and shuffle them well.

Now count out the first 26 pieces, turning them over face up as your count them out into a pile. Pay close attention to the 18th card as you are flipping them over and placing in a heap.

Once you have gone through all 26 stop and take those and turn them face down and put them at the bottom of the stack.

Now you are going to count out 4 rows of 10 cards. You will turn over the first one in the deck and whatever number is on that face you will start counting to 10 from there. So for example if it is an eight you lay that one down and say 8 and then another card on top of it going downward like laying them out in solitaire. The next one is 9 and then 10. Now start the next row with another card. If that one is a two, begin by saying 2, then the next piece is 3, the next 4 and so on until you get to 10. No matter what amount is on the face you are just counting to ten from the first number in each row you start. If one of them begins with a ten, jack, queen, or king you will count that as a ten so just say that amount and start the next row until you get all 4 lines completed.

Now take the top card in each row and pull them upward away from the lines and add up the total of those four. Again if one of them is the number two, a jack, queen or king it counts as ten. Now after adding the sum of those four pieces. Take the total, such as fourteen and tell your audience you will find the suit from your 18th card above when you get to that number. Count out that many cards from the remaining deck you have in your hand and that last numeral should be the lucky piece you glanced at from the beginning. Remember I told you to pay attention to the 18th item.

Practice this simple magic card trick before performing for family or friends to make sure you have it perfect.
