Letter Trick...

Postby sebx2 » Apr 22nd, '05, 23:22



My physical education prof is a really good magician. (I'm beginner in magic). He send me a letter... and It was wrote: Open only after our next meeting... When I saw him... he gave me playing cards... told me to put away the joker off the deck... shuffle, cut the packet... cut a final time and put the joker on the last cut... after he told me to put an elastic around the deck... to check every card until I reach the Joker and remember the card after the Joker... He didn't touch the deck... it was the 6 of heart

In the letter, it was a really big 6 of heart...

Do you know the name of this trick?? Or do you have a video??

As this is an open forum and it is unethical to give away secrets on here, I would advise you to get hold of a good card magic book that teaches basic principles in magic. eg The Royal Road to Card Magic.

I am sure if you learn everything in the book and take in all the principles, you will already know the principle of this trick and how it is done and a lot more besides. You will also be on your way to being a good card magician and hopfully want to further your knowledge in other areas of magic! :)

I think that was a great bit of advice above, if you invest a bit of time reading the suggested book you may DISCOVER how to do that effect and also maybe one that would catch your tutor. If you want to learn things in magic you have to make the effort.
