If you love doing simple card tricks that can have a profound effect on any audience, then you've come to the right place. This trick only requires a regular deck of cards, and some halfway decent patter. Even twenty five percent decent patter will work fine for this. Another great thing about this amazing trick is that you can choose to "reveal" the magic at the end in pretty much any way you like. Here's how this stunning trick will appear to your mesmerized audience. You pull out a regular deck. You give the deck to an audience member and have them shuffle it and look through it to make sure that it's not a trick deck or anything like that. After that they give you back the deck. Then you start pulling cards off the top, and laying them face down on the table. You don't look at any cards. In fact, you don't even look at the deck. All you're looking at is your incredulous audience. You instruct someone in the audience to yell "Stop!" whenever they feel like it. Once they yell "Stop!" you put that card, again face down, next to the other stack. You have the audience member come forward, look at the "Stop!" card, and put it in the deck. They show the other audience members, shuffle it, and return the deck to. You calmly pick up the deck, and quickly extract their card, to their profound amazement. Here's how the trick works. After you've got the deck back, sneak a quick peek at the bottom card. This is fairly easy once you get the hang of it. This can be done rapidly when they give you back the deck. When you hold the deck, grab the bottom card with your forefinger and quickly pull it back, just a little bit. So when you are dealing, you are actually dealing from the bottom, not the top as everybody will assume. This is a lot simpler than it appears. Just a small amount of practice is all that you will require. It will also help if you have some decent patter, and are engaged with the audience while you are dealing out the cards. After your volunteer screams "Stop!" you merely take the card from the bottom that you've been holding back, and that will be their card, which you have already looked at. There are several ways you can reveal this trick. You can simply search through the deck to find their card. Or you can search through the deck, and pretend to read their mind and call out the card. Or you can pretend to read their mind, and not even look through the deck and call out their card. The ways are endless, and I'm sure you can think of plenty of fantastic ways to lower the fantastic boom on your audience.
