Magic Tricks Revealed: The Breathtaking Card Mind Reading Trick


If you like doing simple tricks that will easily convince an entire audience of your powerful psychic abilities, then you've come to the right place. This trick is extremely simple to learn and will always impress them. The great part is that there are so many ways to "reveal" this trick that you can have a lot of fun, and never worry about getting caught. This the way the trick will seem to your audience. You ask a volunteer to choose any nine cards from a deck. You tell them to make sure you aren't cheating, you won't event touch the deck. You have them lay out the cards in a three by three grid. You explain to them that once they lay the cards out, you will leave the room. You further instruct them that in order to really make sure there's nothing fishy going on, they shouldn't even touch the card, merely point it out so the other audience members know which card they chose. They can say it out loud if they want, but it's not required. All they need to do is briefly indicate which one they chose. You leave the room, and come back. You then expertly read their thoughts, and quickly pick out the card they chose. You can do this as often as you want, with as many different people as you want, and you will always choose the correct card. Even if they change the cards every time, or change the person choosing, you'll get it right, each time. Here's the trick. The only thing you need is a silent helper in the audience. Beforehand, agree on which fingers on both of their hands will correspond to each of the nine cards. Simply have them bend only that finger briefly when you walk back into the room. All you have to do is glance at their hand quickly, and you're good to go. A great way to cover your tracks, is to glance at their finger right away, then glance quickly at the grid of cards. As soon as you know what card it is, you can pick any number of ways to reveal this. Some quick, like just picking up their card, or some extremely drawn out, like putting all the cards back together, and searching through the deck while making a big show of trying hard to read their mind. This is a simple trick and only requires that your helper not spill the beans. One entertaining way to reveal this is to immediately pick up all the cards, place them back in the deck, shuffle it a few times, and then leave the room with the deck. Then after about five minutes, come back with only their card. They will most often be stunned beyond belief. Have fun.
