Dear magic friends,


I'm so glad now that magic is becoming more popular in the society. More and more people are getting more and more fascinated with the art of the impossible. I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and have been studying magic for about 7 years now. I'm 14 years old today. I've started my magic career after seeing a magic special on the television. My magic reputation grew and grew until I saw my first staged performance live, I think it was Lance Burton. I've been buying magic and became very good with manipulating cards and continued magic with cards only. This year, I started high school and have been amazing people of many different cultural backgrounds for quite some time. I've now proudly gained the title MagicMan in my school. Street magic is now my specialty and I perform on the streets of downtown Toronto. I've been getting lots of positive feedback and still performing.
I'm suggesting that everyone should start on some regular decked tricks that require slights. The affect on the audience is greater and the fact that they can examine the deck closes the package. I've been working hard on perfecting some moves and it has paid off. Try making some of your own tricks.
I'm more than willing to trade some of my tricks with anyone. My e-mail address is icmickey76@hotmail.com.

Keep amazing people.

Thats cool, I am also 14 years old, good to see other people my age. Ive been fooling around with some ideas for tricks too. I think I have three.

The Sparrow cut: this isnt really a trick so much as it is a slight. Its is a way to place a selected card on the bottom and half the deck on top of that, but still have the card on the bottom. Reguler deck.

Amazing Frame: this involves building a frame the size of a bill. Take a borrowed 1$ and place it inside the frame, now have it signed. Place a piece of paper or wood infront of the frame and then you remove it, it will have the bill replaced with a $20 that has the spectators sig on it! This I use for my finalies.

Vanashing card: Normal deck that has one card signed and lost in the deck. Now shuffle the deck and give it to the spectator to shuffle. Run through the cards untill the spectator sees his card, he never will because its gone. you can also make the card reapear anywhere you like.

Now post some of your tricks up here and e can trade.

These are tricks I’m willing to trade for other good tricks:

Cops and Robbers:
An audience member selects a card. The magician then takes two cards out of the deck and places it face down on the table. The audience member's card is now lost in the deck. The magician's card is placed on the top and the bottom of the deck and the card's visibly vanishes. As the magician looks inside the deck, it appears the selected card has been sandwiched between the magician’s card.

Coin Case:
A borrowed coin from the audience is marked by the audience (you don't have to mark it but it makes the affect on the audience greater). Then the magician fans the cards to allow the spectator to select a card, which one does. The card is then lost in the pack and given to the spectator to place on the table and hold it with one hand. The (marked) coin is then given to the magician. The magician asks the spectator to place their hand out for the coin. The magician vanishes the coin. When the spectator looks in the deck, the coin is inside. When they look at the card underneath the coin, it's the selected one.

4 Aces in the Deck:
The spectator divides the deck into four and looks at the top card. All are aces. This trick is nice because the spectator does all the work.

Three Card Monté Vanish:
A selected card is places underneath one of three sub-decks. The magician turns around to allow the spectator to mix the order of the decks. The magician then looks back, places all the decks face up and asks the spectator which one their card is. After every try, the magician fails (because the spectator is encouraged to lie) and places the decks face down while taking the card and placing it in front in a 3-card-monté style. The decks are gathered to one. The magician shuffles the deck, asks to point to his/her card, and flips the card. It isn't the selected card for the card in on top of the deck.

Card through window Blaine Style:
You guys know that one.

2 card Monté:
Everyone should know how this one's done but if anyone doesn't here it is.

Card in Bottle Blaine style:
A card is signed and lost in the deck. A ribbon spread is performed and the selected card vanishes. The spectators are to look back at a bottle. The signed card is in the bottle.

Card in Lemon:
People should know how this one's done. The effect is basically the same as Card in Bottle but instead of a bottle, it's a lemon.

Blush:
A lady spectator selects the card, places it in the deck. The magician squares the deck and places the deck in front of the lady. The lady is asked to blow a kiss at the deck. The deck is ribbon spread and a card is noticed to be blushing. When the card is turned over, it's their card.

Gunshot:
It's the same routine as the Lips but instead of a lady, it's a fella. Instead of blowing a kiss, it's shooting the deck with a "invisible" gun. Instead of it blushing, it turns blood red and there's a hole in the card.

Think of a Card:
The spectator is encouraged to think of a card. People are gathered around and a prediction card is placed in the hand of a spectator with the face of the card towards the magician. The spectator names the card and turns the card over to look at. It's their card.

Regurgitated Card:
A trick like Blaine does on TV where he coughs the selected card out of his mouth.

Evil Queen:
The deck is shuffled. A card is selected. Placed face down on the face up queen of spades. The two touching cards are places in the deck. The queen is taken out and her sceptre and flower shows the suit and value of the selected card.

Static:
Two cards are chosen and lost in the deck. The magician fails to find the card but explains that one of the cards has a negative charge and one a positive. The magician asks the spectator what should happen to the cards. They should say the cards stick together, if they don't, the magician says how mad they are and states the true answer. The magician then throws the deck on the floor and two cards remain in the magician's hand. It's the selected card.


I have a whole lot more but I'm getting tired of typing. Note all these tricks are done with a standard deck of playing cards.
