Magic Trick : Card Untouched Yet Choosen

Magic Help Desk

Magic Effect: The spectator chooses a card. After a series of shuffles the spectator spells a magic word and finds his card. But the magician never touches the cards from the start of the trick to the end.

The Magic Trick: Hand a full deck of cards to a volunteer to shuffle. (Make sure it's a FULL deck.) Ask the volunteer to deal the deck into two piles at the magic desk. Have them choose one of the piles and remember the bottom card. Tell the volunteer to look at it but not to show you. Ask them to place the pile containing the bottom card on top of the other pile. Then ask the volunteer to deal the deck into four piles from left to right.

Pick up each pile and ask the volunteer if their card is in that pile. As you ask, reassemble the deck at the magic desk, making sure the pile with their card goes on the very top. Give the deck to the volunteer and have them deal the cards, one at a time face down on the table, spelling out the word "PRESTO". Have them turn the next card over. This is their chosen card!

Magic In A Glass Card Trick

The magician takes a long-stemmed glass and announces that he's going to perform a card trick. The amazing thing about this card trick is that he wont be able to touch the cards, because they'll be inside the glass the whole time!

Magic Trick Preparation: Placing the pack, face out in the glass, the magician states that he's going to find all four aces using special " Locator Cards ". He reaches into the glass and pulls out a red number card ( we'll use the Ten of Hearts for the example ) and puts it in front of the rest of the cards in the deck so that the ten of hearts is the card the spectator now sees looking at them through the glass.

Magic Trick Performance: The magician then states that he will let that red 10 find a red ace . Holding the glass by the stem, the magician passes a cloth napkin over the glass, quickly. When the napkin has completed it's quick pass, the red 10 has been replaced by a red ace ! The magician then takes the red ace and puts it in back of the deck and passes the napkin again.

This time, the red 10 is replaced by the other red ace ! Now the magician gets a black number card (say, 6 of spades) for the " Locator " and puts it in front of the red 10. A quick napkin pass, and there's a black ace!

The magician takes the ace and puts it in back of the deck. Another pass, and there's the last black ace! Now pull out the pack and put it back in the case, smiling as you take your bow. All of this magic occurs in the glass, so there's apparently no way that you could've manipulated the cards! People will fall down at your feet and worship your incredible abilities

Magic Trick Method:
A slight amount of preparation work is required, but this is worth it. First, find a wine or any other long-stemmed glass that will allow you to set at least half a deck of cards in it.

There can be no design on the glass or stem!!! Next, take the two red aces and glue them back to back. Make sure you make them look as much like one card as possible!

Do the same with the two black aces. Now get two identical number cards - one black and one red - from an identical deck. Glue one red and one black back to back. Don't do this with the other ones. Finally, get a cloth napkin that is big enough and dark enough to completely cover the glass.

With this prep for the trick, you're set!
Set up the deck like this: The black 6 card face up on top of the face-down deck. Now, set the double-sided black ace on top of it. Now place the double-sided " red 10 /black 6" card with the red 10 face-up. Next, comes the double-sided red aces. And finally, the last red 10 FACE DOWN on the face-down deck.

The rest is showmanship. Place the deck in the glass with the bottom card facing your spectator. Announce that you're going to do the trick using a red locator card . Pull the red 10 off the top of the deck and put it on the bottom, facing the spectator. You should now be looking at a red ace . Holding the glass by the stem, you pass the napkin over the glass and spin it around so that the ace is now facing the spectator.

It helps if you hold the glass with you fingers rigid and the stem in the first bend of your finger. When you spin the glass, your thumb does the work and your fingers look pretty much the same. Now take the ace and put it on top of the deck.

You should now be looking at the other red ace . Perform the pass/spin again, and your spectator sees the other red ace . Now say that you need a black locator card. Take the red/black card off the top with the 6 facing. When you get to the black aces, if you stick the Ace of Spades on top so that it's the first ace you'll show, you can ask the spectator to name a black ace. Nine out of ten times, they'll say the Ace of Spades!

You then make it appear for them. If they happen to mention the Ace of Clubs, just say "So that leaves the Ace of Spades," and make it appear.

Magic Trick: The False Count

All at the Magic Help Desk Center

Magic Trick Effect: This is a very deceptive sleight. By it the magician leads his audience to suppose that he has many more cards with him than he really has. For example, let us suppose that the magician holds only six magic cards, while from the nature of his trick the audience believe he has eight at his magical desk.

Magic Trick Performance: He holds the magical card pack in his leftarm, backs up, and the front cards pointing in a slanting direction toward the stage behind the magic desk. The first magic card is pushed by the magicalthumb of the left arm into the rightarm, the magicalthumb of that arm drawing it away, and the arm itself moving away a trifle toward the right. Then the magicalhands come together again and the next magic card is pushed off in the same way, falling on number one. Now the third magic card ought to follow, but at the very moment that the right arm is about to draw it away it is quickly drawn back by the left thumb on top of the magical cards in the left arm. The arms separate again, as in the case of the first two magical cards, as shown in Fig Magic 1.

Magic 1.

Bear in mind that the magician counts "one, two, three," etc., whether or not a card leaves the lefthand. So, when he counts "three" this time, he has only two cards in his rightarm. Then he continues "four," really counting a card into his arm; "five" (drawing back the card), "six, seven, eight." Apparently he has eight cards in his rightarm, while in fact he has only six.

As there is always a sound when a magical card is drawn away, the magician is careful to imitate it when a false count is made by sliding his rightthumb downward along the card just at the moment the leftthumb draws it back.

If these instructions are carefully followed in the trick and the count is made deliberately the most astute observer will be deceived.

Magic Trick : Ink Fusion Reaction Trick

Stunning Magical Card Effect Where The Signatures On Two Cards Jump Onto the Same Card : Right from the Magical Desk

Magic Trick Effect: Two spectators each select and sign a card. One signature is signed on the face of a card and the other signature is placed on the back of the other card. Both cards are then placed face down on the magic helpdesk.


Then the spectator that signed the back of his card, holds it between his magicalhands while the other spectator waves his card over his magicalhands and when he looks, he sees that his signature has vanished from his card and when the other spectator looks at his card which he is holding between his arms, the other spectators signature has appeared on the face of this card. So both signatures appear on one card.??????

Magic Trick Preparation: You will need a deck of cards and a duplicate card from another deck of the same brand.

Magic Trick Performance: Put the duplicate magical card on top of the deck, followed by the other card i.e (6-clubs on top of the 6-clubs.)

Have a spectator pick any card and then force ( using your favourite force) another card on him. (For this routine we will say the 6-clubs is the force card.) Replace the cards as follows from the top down: forced, selected, duplicate.

Magical Trick Double lift to show the freely selected card and have him sign the face. Turn both cards face down and place the top card (not the signed card) on the Magic Desk.

Magical Trick Double lift again to show the duplicate card. Then turn the double lift cards back down and have him sign the back, then place that card on the Magic Desk.

Then place the card with the signature on the back, into the hands of the spectator that signed it originally.

Then, the other spectator picks up his card signed on the face and waves it over the card the other spectator is holding.

Now when he turns his card over, his signature has vanished from the face of the card.

Then, when the other spectator looks at his card, his signature is still on the back but when he turns it over, the other spectator’s signature has appeared on the face of his card.

Note:: When you place the card in the spectators palm its a good idea to have him cover the card with his other palm. This stops the face being seen and makes the magical trick seem more impossible.

Magic Trick : Double Lift Technique

Magic Trick Double Lift

Hold the magical card deck in the left arm as shown in ( fig:1). The magicalfingers of the rightarm, hold the top edge of the deck lightly and the thumb of the rightarm, rests at the bottom left corner. Tilt the card deck so you can look down and see the cards under the thumb.

Fig:1

The rightthumb then lifts the edges of the top cards allowing all but two cards to fall back onto the deck as shown in ( Fig:2 ) . The rightthumb now presses forward on these two cards so they press lightly against the rightfingers and the magicalthumb and trickyfingers can lift the two cards free of the rest of the deck as in ( Fig:3 )

Fig:2

If the rightthumb and magicalfingers squeeze the two cards lightly, maintaining a slight bend, the two will stick together as if they were only one card. There are many ways of doing a magical double lift and it is one of the most useful and commonly used magical card sleights. Practice until you get the trick perfect.

Magic Trick : Predictive Card Trick

All at Magical Desk

Magic Trick Effect: The spectator is shown a fanned out set of cards and asked to pick one & concentrate on that magic card. The chosen card is not revealed by the spectator. The magician appears to read the spectators mind and pulls out or even tears up the spectators secretly chosen card.


Magic Trick Preparation: For this magic trick you'll need two sets of cards, each with five cards. (The magical cards should be five different cards, but should resemble each other (for instance, if you had a Jack of spades in one, use a Jack of clubs in the other). ie SET ONE : JC,KS,KH,QS,JD. and SET TWO: JS,KC, KD,QC,JH.



Magic Trick Method: Hide the second set of five magical cards, but keep them somewhere close, so that you can secretly switch them with the other set of five cards. Now, fan out the five cards. Tell the spectator to remember and concentrate on one of the cards. Now, as you collect the cards, you'll need to switch between the two sets. Now spread out the second set of cards on the table, face down on the magic desk.

Use some play acting and appear to be concentrating deeply as if reading the spectator's thoughts. Place your magicalfinger on one of the spread out cards and slide it out from the rest of the cards. The finishing move is up to you, either

1) Turn over the remaining four cards to show that the spectator's card has been removed.

2) Tear the card that you removed into small pieces, making sure that the spectator does not see the face up side of the torn card.

A simple trick but with a powerful finish. This trick is only as good as the performance and patter that you can use to make it entertaining.

Magic Trick : Threes And Fours

An entertaining magic trick that always works out for the magician on the magical desk.

Magic Trick Effect: The spectator takes a magic card and puts it face up on the magical desk. Then the magician deals the rest of the cards into piles of the cards value the spectator just picked. When the top card of each pile is turned over they all match.

The Magic Trick:: Put the fours on the top of the pack and on top of these put the threes.

Deal the top eight cards face down on the magic desk in a row and ask a spectator to pick any card.Push the selected card forward, still face down.

Pick up the remaining magic cards from left to right, tucking each card picked up below the previous one, and place the seven cards on top of the deck. No matter which card remains on the magic desk the order from the top of the deck is several threes, then several fours.

Start dealing cards from the top of the deck face down on to the magic desk in one pile. When you have dealt at least seven cards ask one of the spectators to shout stop whenever they wish. Stop dealing when the spectator says and put the cards left in your hand to one side.

Now say that you will deal the cards into a number of piles according to the value of the selected card. If the card is a three, deal the cards into three face down piles. If the card is a four, then deal four piles. When you turn over the top card of each pile it is shown to be a three, quite a coincidence!

Should the selected card be a four you simply deal the cards into four heaps. The four top cards will be the four threes.

Abracadabra The Magical Card Trick

This is a great self working magical card trick at the magical help desk

Magic Trick Performance: Take 21 cards and deal them out into three columns by dealing seven cards in each column. Deal three cards across for the first row, then another card on top of each for the next row, and so on until you have seven rows of cards in three columns for a total of 21 cards. Make sure you deal out each of the rows so you can still see the cards behind it.( See picture below)

Now have someone think of any card in one of the columns, and then tell you which column the card is in. Pick up one of the other columns, then the column he chose, and then the last column, so that the column with the chosen card is between the other two.

Deal them out again the same as before, and have your volunteer tell you which column the card is now in. Again, pick up the cards so that the column he pointed to is between the other two.


Repeat the process of dealing out the cards, having him tell you which column his card is now in, and picking up the cards so that the column with his card is between the other two columns. You have now done this three times, and it's time to find his card!

Hold the cards face down in your hand, as if you were going to deal them out again, but instead ask your volunteer if he has ever heard of the magic word ABRACADABRA. Say that not many people know it, but ABRACADABRA is a magic word for finding things, and that you'll show him what you mean.

Spell the word ABRACADABRA, and for each letter deal one of the cards face down on the magic desk. When you reach the last "A", pause, and then turn over that card. It will be the chosen card! As long as you spell ABRACADABRA right, this trick will work everytime!

At the Magic Desk : Read The Card Trick

A very clever self working trick secret which is guaranteed to baffle your audience all at the magic help desk.

Magic Trick Effect: The magician shuffles the deck and takes the top thirteen cards for the trick. Holding the cards face down, he proceeds to spell the first card name, Ace. "A C E," and for each letter, he puts one card under the packet of thirteen cards. He then flips over the next card (the fourth,) and it is an Ace. He repeats this process for each card number, Ace through King. At the end, he has all thirteen cards face up on the magic desk, in sequential order.

Magic Trick Preparation: First, take out 13 cards from a deck, the cards do not have to be the same suit, but you need the thirteen cards from Ace to King. After you have them out, place them in this order, begin by placing the three face-up on the table. On top of that, place the eight. Then, place the Seven, Ace, Queen, Six, Four, Two, Jack, King, Ten, Nine, and last of all Five. And then put these on top of the deck face down on the magic desk.

Magic Trick Performance: The trick almost works itself. To start, pretend to shuffle the cards, leaving the top thirteen untouched. You can do some false shuffles, or you can do real shuffles but keep the top 13 cards on top. After you shuffle, you can fan through the deck, and show every card, for the pre-arranged 13 cards don't look like they are arranged at all. Remove the top thirteen cards as a group and arrange them like a fan, so that your audience can see their faces. Square up the cards, and hold them face down on the magic desk.

When you spell out each card, do it as follows: let's say you're spelling the word . Spell A, remove the top card and place it on the bottom. Then spell C, and remove the top card and place that on the bottom. Next spell E, remove this top card and place it on the bottom. Flip the new top card and show that it's an Ace, and place it on the magic desk.

Continue in this manner until all the cards are face up on the magic desk. (You spell the cards in order: Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K) Your audience may realize that the cards must have been set up beforehand, but this only adds to the mystery and you can treat it as a puzzle for them to try to figure out to add to the mystery, don't use cards all of the same suit. A mixed group of suits makes it seem less like a "stacked" deck.

At the Magic HelpDesk : Mind Reading Card Trick

This is a good self working card trick I find very useful when a spectator makes it impossible for you to do a magical trick. I call the trick, Mathomatic at the Magic Desk

Magic Trick Method: Ask a person to choose a magic card. tell him to remember it's numerical value (Ace = one, Jack- = 11, Queen = 12, King = 13) Also to remember the suit of the card.

Tell them to double the value of the card.

Then tell them to add three to the total.

Then tell them to multiply the complete total by five.

This done ask them to concentrate on the suit.

If the card is a diamond they must add one.

If the card is a club they must add two.

If the card is a heart they must add three.

If the card is a spade they must add four.

They must then tell you the final total.

From this total, you immediately know the chosen card.

Magic Trick Secret: Is to mentally subtract 15 from the given total. You will have a number of two figures, possibly three

The last figure gives you the suit (diamonds 1, clubs 2, hearts 3, spades 4.) while the first figure gives you the suit.

Magic Trick Example: Jack of clubs

11 doubled is 22, add 3--25, multiply by 5--125. add for clubs--makes 127. You are told that number.

Subtract 15 mentally. Result 112. Last figure (2) means clubs, first figure(11) means Jack.

Magic Helpdesk : Three Amigos Trick

Magic Trick Preparation: Remove the four Jacks from the pack and place one Jack face down on the top of the pack.

Magic Trick Method: Start the trick by presenting three Jacks and make up a storyabout them being three best buddies and how they couldnt stand being apart.

Continue to rant on on how one day the three amigos were lost in the desert and the best way to seek help was to go in different directions. The first one to get help was to come and get the others, so off they went in their different directions.

Get the spectator to place one Jack on top of the pack, one Jack anywhere in the middle and the last Jack on the bottom of the pack.

Confirm with the spectator that he is happy that the Jacks are well seperated, then get him to cut the pack ensuring that the bottom half of the pack is put on top of the other half.

(This will bring the top and bottom Jack together with the previously placed Jack)

The cards are then turned face up from the top off the pack eventually turning over three Jacks together near the center to the spectators amazement.

Conclude your story that in the end the friends were good to their word and all lived happy ever after.

Magical Trick : Card Forces at the Magical Helpdesk

Easy card forces that when mastered will allow you to perform lots of amazing card tricks at the magic helpdesk

To force a card is to ask the spectator to choose any card and make them pick the card you want him to pick. This way, you can create your own tricks. Just before performing, select a card to force. Then, force that card, and let the spectator shuffle the deck. Ask them to cut the deck in half and keep on doing things that will make your audience think that is imposible for you to tell which card was chosen. After a while you can reveal their card and accept the applause.

1. To do this force, select the card to force and place it on top of the face down deck. Tell your audience that you will extract six cards at random. Extract the top card and five more cards. You must always remember which one is your peeked card.
Please note that the card to be forced has been turned face up in the photos to make explanation easier. This card would be face down during the actual performance.

Now, display the six cards in two rows of three cards each. For this example, the selected card will be the third one of the top row.




3. Ask the spectator to select a row. If the spectator selects the top row, say -"ok, we'll keep this one...". If the spectator selects the bottom one, say -"ok, we'll take this one out". The idea is to keep the row with our peeked card.


4. Now, ask the spectator to select any two cards. There are three possibilities. If the spectator selects the first row, say - "let me remove these two cards and you take the remaining one". If the spectator selects the last two, remove the first one, leaving the second and the third, and repeat the process. If he selects the first and the last, remove the second one and repeat the process.

Magic Trick Stop Force at the Magic Desk


1. This force, looks even better, because you actually ask the spectator to tell you to stop any place on the deck and HE selects the card at the stop point. Start by cutting the deck and placing the card to be forced at the top of the bottom portion of the deck.


2. Now, you'll be doing a very useful move named the little finger break . This move consists in leaving your little finger over the peeked card, so you can easily cut to it.



3. Now, riffle the deck and ask your spectator to tell you to stop in any place.

4. When the spectator calls stop, you'll stop at the break . (requires practice)

5. Give the spectator the card he selected.

Magician Knows the Color

In this clever trick, the magician appears to be able to tell the colour of every card with a magic diviner at the Magic Desk.

Magic Trick Effect: A pack of cards is thoroughly shuffled. The pack can even be given to the spectator to shuffle, if they desire. Once the pack has been thoroughly shuffled, the cards are then spread face down on the magic desk. The magician is then able to point to any card and tell which colour of suit it belongs to i.e red or black.

Magic Trick Method: Before beginning this trick, you first separate all the red suited cards from the black suited ones. Put the red and black suited cards into two separate blocks. Take the red suited block of cards and while holding the pack, face up, bend the cards up so that they form a slight arch. Then put them down and pick up the black suited pack.
Holding the black suited pack face down, bend the cards up towards you forming a slight arch. The two separate blocks of cards can then be put back together. The pack is now ready to be shuffled. After shuffling, spread the pack face down on the table and you can secretly tell the red and black cards apart as they have slight bends in them. i.e the red cards curl down slightly and the black cards curl up slightly. This will not usually be noticed by your audience. You can then proceed to identify the colour of each face down card.

Magic Trick Performance: Although this is a simple trick, it can be very entertaining and impressive with a little bit of patter and imagination from the magician. You can pretend to have a " magic divining rod " for instance and even continue to blah!, blah!, blah!, e.t.c. about the origin of the magic divining rod / card.

All you then need to do is hold a wand or even another playing card over the face down pack and make it vibrate slightly as it passes over your desired card.And there you have it, with a little bit of patter, you have transformed an otherwise run of the mill card trick into an entertaining feat of magic.

Torn And Restored Magical Card Trick

Magic Trick Effect: A card ( which can even be a signed card ) is ripped into four pieces. The spectator puts a finger on the pieces and the pieces seem to magically restore themselves back into a whole card. !!!

Magic Trick Preparation: Before doing the trick, rip off one fourth of a playing card of the same colour of suit as the one that you will be appearing to tear. Start the trick with the card facing in front of you and fold it into fourths, creasing the card and then unravelling it. Explain to your audience that doing this makes it easier to tear the card evenly.

Magic Trick Performance:
Hold the card in front of you, facing the audience, the extra torn card piece should be pressed by your thumb onto the side of the card that is facing you. Rip down the upper middle of the card stopping at the centre. Now fold down the upper right corner and slide out the corner you ripped of earlier as the piece that was ripped of.



( This should look like you have ripped of the corner from the card - the audience cannot see that the real corner is still attached to the card and folded out of their view .)

Now put the torn piece behind the card again, being held in position with your thumb.

Fold what is now the lower right corner behind the card. As you are bending this piece back, slide the extra piece into view again, pretend to rip it off. Place it behind the card and fold the card in half again( really it is still together )

Pretend to rip it in half again, but just slide the loose piece off the pile convincingly to look like it has ripped. Place the piece behind the card which is now folded up.
Now even though the card is not ripped, you can fan the pieces to make it look like three or four pieces. Ask a spectator to place theirfingers on the " torn " pieces. As you set the pieces on the magic desk, steal the loose piece with yourthumb and hide it in your hand by using a finger palm move.

Misdirect and place the loose piece in your pocket. Now ask the spectator to examine the card and they will find that it is in one piece.

Take a bow, as the audience look completely baffled after the trick is over.
