Playing Card
Magic Trick
There's a difference between the playing cards you use for performing card magic tricks and the playing cards you use to ... well, play cards. For a friendly game of poker with your buddies, plastic playing cards or plastic coated playing cards are find. However, for performing card magic, you always want to use top-quality playing cards.
Then what cards are right?
Bicycle cards are probably the most common because they're easy to find, they're cheap, and people quickly recognize them as household playing cards. Tally-Ho and Bee cards are also commonly used by
magicians.
If you're looking for the best card stock (it's slightly thicker than the Bicycle card), with an excellent finish and visually impressive appearance, you might want to consider moving up to more expensive cards, such as Black Tiger, Silver Viper, or the new Masters Edition designs. These are designed with the magician in mind, and you will pay extra for them.
Deck
That Shuffles Itself - the performer takes a
deck out of its case. He spreads it face-up on the table. The deck is now
squared and put aside.
The performer pretends to shuffle the deck invisibly: he pretends to take the
deck in fact the deck stays on the table and he acts as if he had the deck in
his hands, put it on the table in front of him, cut it in half, turn one pile
face-up and shuffle both parts with a riffle shuffle, square the deck, take it
and put it back where the real deck was.
The deck is spread on the table, and all the cards are mixed, half face-up and
half face-down, as if these fictitious actions became real.
The deck is put aside. The performer separates the cards in the same way with an
invisible deck in his hands and then puts it back. The real cards are spread,
and all the cards are face-up again. He squares the deck and puts it face down.
He then spread the cards, showing that only the card backs are visible.
The cards are squared and taken with the right hand. The face card is the Queen
of Hearts. The performer does a magic move and spreads the cards again, showing
that they are now all the Queen of Hearts!
Squaring the deck again, the performer does another magic move and spreads the
deck to show only ordinary cards. He then spreads the other side to show only
the backs of the cards!
The performer puts the deck back in it case and closes it. As he puts it away,
he changes his mind and hits the short side of the case, showing that the image
on the front of the case has become compressed.
Diminishing
Cards Al Baker Style - After performing a series of card effects, the performer begins to shrink a fan
of cards.
Just a light squeezing motion, and voila! Cards have diminished by 25! This is
repeated four times until the performer is holding an extremely small fan of
cards! Finally, the cards vanish completely!
