Salty Cards Card Prediction Trick

With nothing more than kicking a deck of cards you can tell which is the chosen card.

Materials Needed:

1 Standard Card Deck

A good pinch of salt secretly stored in your pocket

Method

 

Have a shuffled deck of cards placed on the floor. Have a person look through the deck and choose a card. Have him/her place his card on top of the deck. Now have them cut the deck into five piles. (Remember that their chosen card is on the top of the first pile.)

 

Table salt and a pack of playing cards are all you need to get your kicks from this trick.

Now, by pointing to the piles have them put the deck back together in a different order.

( The trick is that as you are pointing at the card piles, instructing the audience member to put them back together, you take a pinch of salt and drop it on top of the chosen card as you point to it.)

Then, lightly kick the deck of cards with your right foot, slide into the cards to make them glide to the left.

Examine the deck. The place in the deck with the most distance between one card and the next is the chosen card.

Notes: Practice this trick before performing to get a feel for how hard to kick the cards, and how to "see" the chosen card.

You should get skilled at performing this "!find the card, stunt" pretty quickly. This is yet another example of how a simple method can be elevated into an entertaining spectacle just by applying a little imaghination and ringing out your acting skill.

M&Ms Torn and Restored Magic Trick

This sweet trick is a real reputation maker

Trick Effect And Routine: Tear a corner from a bag of M&Ms. Pour a few M&Ms into your hand. Then reseal the bag by magically melting the corner back onto the bag.

Magic Trick Preparation: Place a few M&Ms into your" thumb tip"( This is a useful gimmick which can be purchased cheaply from most good magic shops) .You will also need to cut a corner off a different bag of M&Ms.You can place this in your thumb tip or just conceal it behind the bag. This trick is easier to perform if you sharply crease the corner on the bag that you are supposed to rip.

Method: After you show the bag of M&Ms, discretly slip the plastic thumb tip off your thumb and conceal it behind the bag in your hand (opening facing the corner to be ripped). Remove the extra corner from the thumb tip. Fold the creased corner towards you as you act out the magical  illusion of tearing the corner. Pour out the M&Ms from the thumb tip. Secretly replace the extra corner inside the thumb tip as you unfold the creased corner. Use a rubbing motion with your forefinger and thumb to give the impression that you are melting the corner back on the bag.

Slip the thumb tip back on your thumb and your done. Hand out the bag for examination! The patter is up to you, but you can tell a story of a candy crook who never gets caught or use your imagination to come up with some other interesting story with a sweet ending.
