Each of us has seen magicians at least once in our lives. I bet we were all amazed at what they do with cards, strings, balls, coins and other things. How they make a cut rope become whole again, how a knot disappears, how a handkerchief of one color turns into another and how they perform their tricks with cards. Always showing the one you remember? I think many of us would like to learn these miracles in order to surprise our relatives, friends and acquaintances.

Now I want to lift the veil of secrecy and tell dear readers a few secrets of performing fairly simple card tricks that even beginners can do.

And the first thing I’ll start with is miracles with cards. Namely, from one of the famous tricks, “guess which card.” This is of course one of many options. To make it easier to understand the essence, I present to your attention a plan for the phased implementation of the trick.

Focus guess the card

The essence of this card trick is that you ask the audience to choose a card from a pile offered by you, and then show it. Everything is very familiar

The secret of the trick:

• Take several cards from the main deck, preferably 10-15 of course. Place them face down on the table. Be sure to pay attention to how many cards you offered and the very first one in the layout.
• Then ask the audience to choose a card and remember its serial number, i.e. what number it lies on the table from the first card. After this, collect all the cards, observing the following conditions: you need to collect them face down, starting from the end. Place each card on top of the previous one.
• Next, ask someone to place cards from the remaining deck on the top and bottom of the pile in your hands, the number of them may vary. Let them at least lay out the whole deck, the most important thing is not to mix the cards!
• The next step is that you will look for the card hidden by the spectator. To do this, ask him to tell you the serial number of the card. Shift the stack until you come across a card that you yourself remember (this is the beginning of the deck) and then start counting up to the number that the person told you. That is, you start counting from the first card, and since you knew the entire quantity, it’s easy to find the one you need.

Second version of the “guess the card” trick

The essence is the same.

• The trick is prepared in advance, without the presence of spectators. Take a deck, arrange all the cards by suit and in ascending or descending order. Those. ace, king, queen, jack, 10,9,8,7,6 and all hearts. Do the same with the other three suits. Then stack these stacks on top of each other.
• Offer to choose a card, remember it and put it back in the deck anywhere.
• After that, start looking, believe me, you will find it right away, because... it will either be of a different suit than the others, or the order of the layout will be disrupted.

Focus four ladies

The bottom line: From the entire deck, you will somehow miraculously choose all four queens.

• Take a deck, lay out the first twenty cards so that the queens are ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth. Place these cards on top of the entire deck (of course, it’s better to do this in advance).
• Ask those around you to name a number from 10 to 20. Count off the same number of cards from above. For example, if you were told the number 15, then you count out 15 cards.
• Then count the sum of the digits of this number (i.e. 15 is 1+5=6). And out of these 15, now you count six from the top too.
• Set the topmost card aside. Place the remaining nine and five cards on top of the deck, first five, then nine. Repeat all these steps three more times.
• At the end you should have four queens left on the table.

This trick can be done with other cards of the same value.

Focus Reversed Card

The essence of the trick: You fan out the deck, ask the spectator to choose, remember a card and insert it back. And then, shifting the cards, you find only one inverted card, and it turns out to be the one that the spectator wished for.

• In advance, turn the very last card in the fan over to face you.
• In front of people, unfold the deck like a fan, face down, so that the last card is not visible.
• While the spectator memorizes the card, you collect the remaining ones in your deck and, unnoticed by others, turn it over, i.e. the top of the deck is now at the bottom, and the bottom is at the top. The spectator then inserts the card back.
• Quickly behind your back, place the top card face up, so you have all the cards face down except one.

Focus Find the card in the spectator's pocket

The gist: The spectator chooses a card, and then it ends up in his pocket.

The secret of the trick:

• You ask the spectator to shuffle the deck, choose any card, remember it and put it on the top of the deck.
• After this, with your palm already moistened in advance, you place your hands on the deck and press on it. You remove your hands and the top card sticks to you. Be careful, the viewer should not notice what you have in your hand.
• Then ask the person to also press the deck down just as you did, and quietly place the card in his pocket.

Well, that's all the secrets for today. I hope my knowledge will help you. You will learn this simple task and will entertain all your friends.

Many people want to master the magic of card tricks and become real professionals. It is best to start learning the art of card tricks with the simplest tricks, which are nevertheless also quite effective and will help develop memory, attention, reaction and the ability to distract the attention of spectators. Any person who decides to perfectly master the ability to show must possess all these qualities.

The simplest tricks to develop memory and attention

The simplest trick to start learning with is one that allows you to learn how to competently distract the viewer’s attention. To display it, no special sleight of hand is required, all you need is a deck of cards. The magician invites the spectator to choose any card from his “magic” deck and place it on top of the deck. After which the novice illusionist, without ceasing to have a casual conversation with the spectator, looking directly at him, takes the deck in his hands, puts them behind his back and quickly turns over the top card. Next, the deck is taken out and the bottom of the deck is shown to the viewer at arm’s length with the question whether the bottom card is of the same suit. In this case, the inverted selected card looks directly at the magician. Regardless of the answer received, the deck is moved behind the back again. The selected card, which the actor has already memorized, is turned over to its original position. Knowing the card, the magician gives the deck to the spectator with a request to mix it as thoroughly as possible and, with a mysterious look, begins to search for the selected card. At this stage, in search of the right card, you can turn on your imagination and train in techniques of verbal influence on the viewer.

The following simple trick requires only attention from the novice illusionist, the ability to distract spectators and a little sleight of hand. When performing this trick, the illusionist guesses the top 3 cards from the three piles into which the deck is laid out. The demonstration begins with shuffling the deck, at the end of which the magician, distracting the attention of the audience, for example, with a funny joke, remembers the bottom card and puts it on top with an imperceptible movement. Next, anyone is invited to divide the deck into 3 piles. Knowing the top card in one of the piles, the magician names the card that he remembers, but takes a card from any other pile, without showing it to the audience, looks at the card and places it face down on the table. Then he names the one he took first and takes the next top card. The last card that the magician remembers is taken, and the card taken from the second pile is called. Now the cards can be shown to the audience.

The simplest math trick

Another simple trick that develops attention and mathematical thinking, is a trick involving guessing a card from a reduced deck of 21 cards. The cards are laid out in front of the viewer in three rows of 7 cards, after which the magician asks to wish for any card and name the row in which it lies. Next, the deck is assembled in such a way that the indicated row is located in the middle of the deck and laid out again in equal rows- this time vertical, the spectator again names the row with the intended card. The procedure for collecting and laying out rows is carried out again, the specified row should also be located in the middle of the deck, the spectator in last time names a row. The magician, making sure that the named row is in the middle, assembles the deck for the last time and begins to lay out the cards one by one. The intended card will always be the 11th from the top.

Having mastered these 3 simple tricks and practiced performing them accurately and naturally, you can begin to learn more complex card tricks.

Hello again, my dear subscribers!

Sergey Kulikov is in direct contact with you again, he is your humble servant - Sailor!

Our article today is called “Cool trick “If I weren’t a magician.” Tricks for beginners learning with cards." It will be dedicated to one really, really cool trick that I really love to show. And I show it very often, because I love simple and effective tricks. I think you've noticed that what I value most about magic tricks is the simplicity of the method.

Everything is so simple that even a child or a beginner can perform this trick. But if you are already an average level or even higher, then still do not pass by, as this trick is very impressive! If you want to learn a couple more simple and effective tricks, then here you go: “” and ““.

Well, in the meantime, let's move on to our trick! Before the trick, we thoroughly mix the deck and let the spectator mix it. In general, we do with it whatever we and the viewer want :) Then we invite the viewer to choose a card, he chooses, we put it in the deck and mix the deck thoroughly again.

But then, we start shuffling the deck in a completely strange way - we shuffle it with the backs to their faces! Stir this several times and remove as much as you like! We lay out the cards with a ribbon, and what the viewer and I see is complete chaos!

Everything seemed to be impossible to find a map. BUT! Let's remember the name of the trick! “If I weren’t a magician” :) We snap our finger and…. We take out one card from all this chaos, which lies face down.

And this is really the spectator's card! We remember the surprised and incomprehensible face of the viewer, and then we go into the sunset to thunderous applause.. :)

Demonstration and training of this wonderful trick

How to start training?

There are hundreds of card-themed channels on YouTube. They will help you start from scratch, everything you need buy a deck and play the video. If you don’t want to watch, you can learn from text lessons, it all depends on your preferences.

Today, if only he wishes it. To study simple illusions it may only take a couple of hours , even taking into account the fact that up to this point you knew absolutely nothing in this area. I note that in order to master the initial skills of playing the musical instrument Usually it takes about two months, at least one for sure.

Important: Video lessons with maps, like text ones, have one minus . Your viewers can easily expose you by finding the technique on the Internet. As you can see, the availability of material has its drawbacks. Although it is worth mentioning the existence of unique materials.

Which focus should I start with?

I suggest starting with focus "Maps Through Glass" famous illusionist David Copperfield it is distinguished by its high simplicity and extreme effectiveness.

Since you are completely new, you probably don’t know what it looks like. And it looks like this:

• Spectators and the illusionist gather near the glass door of a supermarket or car.
• The magician takes an unpacked deck and offers to choose any card, the one who chooses signs on it, and then returns it.
• The illusionist dries it from the marker, puts it with everyone, shuffles it and returns them.
• Disagrees with the audience different sides glass
• The assistant smears the deck on the glass, and he takes out that same card directly from the glass.

At first glance, it looks like magic, but in reality everything is extremely simple. To perform, you must have mastery of technology "false shuffle" and "palming" .

It won’t be difficult for you to learn it using video lessons with maps. In the process of learning the technique of performing some tricks, you will learn various techniques that will definitely be useful to you for others. The first thing you need to master is, of course, the “false shuffle”; it is used in most tricks.

How to choose lessons?

The easiest way to learn card tricks is through video lessons.

On the Internet a large number of material. Big difference There are no lessons to learn from, any videos are almost the same.

• Choose videos with good quality shooting.
• If you are going to study on YouTube, then it is better to choose channels of people with a large number of subscribers and recordings. These parameters may indicate the authority of the author, and there is also a possibility that there will be videos on the channel that teach the whole movement, which the author used specifically in this illusion.

If you watch several different videos teaching the same trick, you may notice differences in the authors’ techniques. Here you will have a question: “what is the right way”? Does not exist single correct option, everyone has the right to exist. Learn the option that you like or the one that looks more impressive.

Important: If you have already decided to start learning, then remember right away - you don’t need to perform one trick several times in a row, otherwise you could be exposed.

Bottom line

Card fan

Such tricks are easy to learn, do not require much time compared to other options, any innate abilities are not so important, it is important to bring your technique to automatism.

They can be displayed anywhere, without the need to spend a lot of money on inventory.

To all this you can add everything in common, even from a simple illusion.
