Amazing Memory Trick
Amazing card trick where the
audience are stunned to see that the magician appears to have memorized the
order of a whole pack of cards !!
Effect: A pack of
cards are shuffled and then you the magician, are seen to quickly spread the
cards and appear to be memorizing the order of the pack. The pack is then held
behind your back and after some concentration the pack is held out in front of
your spectator, face up. You then name the card facing them.
The pack is then held behind your back
again and then held out in front of your spectator where you then tell them the
next card facing them. This move can be repeated for as many cards as you wish,
leaving your audience baffled as to how good your memory skills are.
How It's Done: Using
any standard deck of cards, shuffle the deck and explain to your audience that
you were born with the amazing ability to memorize the order of a complete deck
of cards. Then proceed to sift through the cards, face and and pretend to be
concentrating on the order of the cards.
The pack is then squared up (
use this move to quickly get a glimpse of the bottom
card ) and held behind your back. With the pack still behind your back,
take the bottom card in the pack and place it face up at the top of the
deck.
Now bring the deck round the front and
hold it out facing your spectator. The card they see will be the bottom card
that you previously glimpsed at ( with the deck held out
in front of them casually glance at the card you see facing you, as this will
be the next card presented to your mark )
Bring the deck behind you again and
place the bottom card face up on top of the deck. The pack is again held out in
front of the spectator and the card that they see is named. This move can be
repeated for as many cards as you wish although 10 to 20 is usually more than
enough for everyone to be in awe of your amazing ability.
