Here's a quick and simple magic trick that never fails to impress almost any crowd. All you need is a deck of cards and a table. And the best part is, you don't even have to touch the deck to do this trick.
This is the way you're audience will see it. You tell them to pick any non face card (e.g. ace through ten) and put an equal number of cards on top of it, and then place them back on the deck.
So if they pick a three, then they'd put three cards on top of the three, and then put this new stack of four cards on top of the deck.
Then you come into the room, or turn around, and ask them to spread the cards out on the table, from left to right, or right to left, or in a circle. Then, without touching the cards, you powerfully sneak into their mind and tell them which card they chose.
Most people can't figure this trick out, even though it's pretty simple. They have to be pretty good at reverse engineering to get this without you revealing this to them.
The trick is actually pretty simple. Here's how you do it. When they start laying the cards out, remember the order they put them in. Discount the first card, and then start to mentally count, starting from the second card, with number one. The third card would be two, and so on.
As soon as you get to a card where the card's number is the same as your secret mental count, that's their card. The best way to do this is quickly and silently, while they are laying the cards out. That gives you more time to do your psychic impression.
This trick works well at parties, when you can actually give them the instructions, including laying out the cards when they are finished. That way you can walk into the room, glance briefly at the table where they've laid their cards, and put on your mind reading show.
Be forewarned, as there is about a ten percent chance that two cards will actually match up with your mental count. Don't worry, you can play this off pretty easily. Pick which ever card you like, and then choose it as their card. If you're wrong, they'll question your mental powers, and start giving you a hard time, which is when you say "just kidding," and then pick their real card right away, as if you knew what it was all along.
This is particularly fun to do with kids, as after you finish, you can teach it to them, so they can go and show their friends. - 31879
