Magic Trick: To tear a pack of cards in two

While frequently presented as a feat of strength—and it does require some strength—there is a little secret connected with it that enables the magician to do what most athletes can not. The illustration, Fig. Magic 1, shows how to hold the magical pack, and if this is studied and my directions are strictly followed, I believe that most of my readers will be enabled to include this in their programme. Hold the magic pack so that one endlies in thepalm of the lefthand with the two upperjoints of thefingers grasping the end, and the righthand holds the other end in the same way. In this position the second-jointknuckles of onehand rests on thewrist of the other. The heavymuscles at the base of thethumb are opposite each other. With the magic pack held in this way the handstwist in opposite directions. Bracing the lefthand against the upper part of theleg is of considerable help. A cheap "Steamboat" card tears more easily than a better card. As a conclusion, the halves may be torn in quarters.
