Card Trick 4
Effect:
The magician shuffles the deck and takes
the top thirteen cards. Holding the cards face down, he proceeds to
spell the first card name, Ace. "A-C-E," and for each letter,
he puts one card under the packet of thirteen cards. He then flips
over the next card (the fourth,) and it is an Ace. He repeats this
process for each card number, Ace through King. At the end, he has
all thirteen cards face up on the table, in sequential order.
Supplies:
~a deck of cards
Preparation:
Remove and arrange 13 cards in the following
setup, top card down: Three, Eight, Seven, Ace, Queen, Six, Four,
Two, Jack, King, Ten, Nine, and Five. Put these on top of the deck.
Secret:
To start, pretend to shuffle the cards,
leaving the top thirteen untouched (young children can skip the shuffling
part and just begin with the 13 cards.
Remove the top thirteen cards as a group
and arrange them like a fan, so that your audience can see their faces.
Square up the cards, and hold them face down.
When you spell out each card, do it as follows: let's say you're spelling
the word ACE. Spell A, remove the top card and place it on the bottom.
Then spell C, and remove the top card and place that on the bottom.
Next spell E, remove this top card and place it on the bottom. Flip
the new top card and show that it's an Ace, and place it ON THE TABLE
(not on the bottom of the deck).
Continue in this manner until all the
cards are face up on the table. (eh: You spell the cards in order:
Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K) Your audience may realize
that the cards must have been set up beforehand, but this only adds
to the mystery - and you can treat it as a puzzle for them to try
to figure out.
