In this clever trick, the magician correctly names a hidden card.

 

Effect:

The card magician puts a deck of cards under a handkerchief. The spectator

cuts the deck. The magician then pulls the bottom part of the deck out and names the

top card without looking at it.

 

You Need: A deck of cards, a handkerchief

 

What You Do: Before you perform the card trick, look at the top card. When you put

the deck of cards under the handkerchief (face down), turn the deck around under the

handkerchief (face up). Then have the spectator cut the deck. Turn the part of the deck

of cards that you are holding over, then take it out, name the card and the trick is done.
