Okay, lets start with our math card tricks! Before you start
performing the card tricks, take out the two black 6's and the two black 9's.
Now, take the 6 of Spades and the 9 of Clubs and put one on top of the deck and
the other at the bottom. Keep the other 6 and 9 away.
Now show the deck of cards to the audience. Also, ask one of
the members to tell you what cards are the 6 and 9 which you had kept away by
showing it to him. Naturally, he will say that they are a 6 of clubs and the 9
of spades. Ask them again if they are sure. He will respond positively. Then
individually again ask for each card what it is. Again he will give the same
answer. Put both these cards into the middle of the deck. Now, put the deck on
the table and ask the audience member to tap the deck thrice. Ask him for some
magic dust. Obviously, he does not have it. Pretend to take out some from your
pocket and then blow on your hands and moist your fingers before sprinkling it
on top of the deck.
Now, pick the deck up by putting your thumb on top and the
rest of the fingers at the bottom of the deck. Swing the deck forward and
backward very lightly and mutter some 'magical' words. On the third swing,
throw the deck into your other hand while keeping back the top and bottom
cards. This is where your moist fingers come into play. Then show everyone the
cards. Even though they are not the 6 and 9 that your audience member chose, it
is most likely that if you gave a convincing performance, then no one will
remember which the spade was and which the club was.
An other Card Trick :
Before facing the audience, take out 1 Joker, an Ace and all
the number cards from 1 to 10. Now, in front of everyone, lay the cards face
down in the following order : 6 5 4 3 2 A J 10 9 8 7. Then call a volunteer and
ask him to move the cards one at a time from right to left. Just for instance,
if the volunteer moves 3 cards, then the position of the cards would be 9 8 7 6
5 4 3 2 A J 10.
You do not need to count or know this while the volunteer is
moving the cards. This is just for explanation. Now, after he has moved as many
cards as he has wanted, you silently count 7 cards from left to right. Turn the
7th card over; it will be always be 3. It does not matter how many cards are
moved, the 7th card will always be a 3. But, if no cards are moved, then the
7th card will always be a Joker.
An other Card Trick :
Take a toothpick and cut it to the same width as that of the
shorter side of a card. Insert it into the hem of a handkerchief ensuring that
it will not fall out.
Now, spread a deck of cards onto a table. Put the
handkerchief on top of the cards with the side with the toothpick facing down.
With your thumb and finger, pick up the toothpick and pretend and say that now
you are picking up one card.
Everyone will think that it is one card that you are picking
as the edges of the toothpick will resemble a card. Then just shake the
handkerchief and say some magic words to make the 'card' disappear. And show
everyone that there is no card underneath it.

The Mind Reader
This card trick is very easy but it fools a lot of people.
1. Shuffle the deck or get the spectator to shuffle it.
2. Take the card on top of the deck and look at it, without
letting the spectator see it, and place it, face-down, in front of him.
3. Ask the spectator to pick a color: red or black.
4. (example: if the card was the Three of Hearts, a RED
card.) If the spectator says black, then you say: "Well, that leaves
red." If he says red, you say: "Good Choice"
5. Now you ask: "Which suit do you like better, Hearts
or Diamonds?" (Remember, the card you looked at is RED.)
6. If the spectator says Hearts, you say: "Good
choice." If he says Diamonds, you say: "That just leaves
Hearts." Either way, you then say: "Pick five cards in that suit you
like the best."
7. If the five cards he picks don't contain your card, say
"Okay, now from the remaining cards pick five cards you like the
best."
8. If these five cards still don't contain your card, say:
"That just leaves three cards." Name the three remaining cards.
9. On the first or second try, five cards will have been
selected. On the third try, only three cards. Ask him: "Out of the five
(or three) cards which, two do you like the best"
10. (example: out of the five cards 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 he picks
the 5 and 6.) You say: "That leaves the 2, 3, and 4."
11. Now you ask him which he likes out of those three. If he
says the Three of Hearts, you turn over the card and amaze him!
12.If he does not pick the card, you ask him out of the
remaining two, which one he likes the best. If he still doesn't pick it, you
say, while turning over the card: "Well that just leaves the Three of
Hearts," and you amaze him!
The trick seems simple, and you think any one will get it.
They don't. Try it on a friend. The trick is this: the spectator gets so caught
up in picking everything, he doesn't realize that you are making the choices,
so he thinks he picked the card. It amazes him!
