(1.) Two of a Kind

E������ The magician removes two cards from the deck. He then has a

spectator cut the deck. The magician then flips over the cards that he

selected, and then flips over the two cards of the deck that were cut to -- the

cards match!

Method: Shuffle the deck (so the spectator doesn’t think it’s setup). Tell him

that you will select two cards from the deck. Go through the cards making

sure you look at the bottom and the top cards of the deck. Pick out the card

that closely matches the bottom card. (If the bottom card is a Four of Hearts,

you would pick out the Four of Diamonds to match it.) Then pick out a card

that closely matches the top card.

Ask the spectator to cut the deck. Take the first card (the one on top of the

original top of the deck), and flip it over. Then flip the bottom half of the deck

over completely.

Turn over the cards you selected -- they all match!

Setup:

2: Fan the four Kings out, and place the two other cards behind the second

Performance:

1: Show the Kings to the spectators.

2: Place the Kings (and the two secret cards) face down on the top of the

deck.

3: Tell the audience that the four kings are good friends and they don’t let

anything get between them.

this card.)

6: Place the next card (not a King) into the center of the deck.

7: Leave the fourth card on the top. (You may show the audience that it is a

King.)

8: Explain that the Kings are good friends and will soon be back together.

9: Cut the deck in the middle, and put the bottom half onto the top.

10: Search the deck for the four Kings. They have magically moved next to

each other!

(3.) 49er Fools Gold

HIIFJKL Spectator selects a card from among 49 cards lying on the table, and

the magician is able to find it, and even bets some “fools gold” on it.

Card Trick:

No preparation is necessary! From an ordinary deck of cards (without the

jokers) have a spectator select any three cards. Throw these aside while

explaining "We will not use those three cards."

Then deal the remaining 49 cards face up in seven rows of seven cards.

Overlap the cards in each column so that they’re all visible and can be slid

together without disarranging their order. (Deal quickly so the audience

knows you can’t memorize them.)

Have the spectator mentally select one of the cards and point to the column

it’s in. Scoop up the column, taking care not to disturb the order of the cards.

Then scoop up the other columns, keeping the selected column in the middle

of the group (column, column, column, selected-card column, column,

column, column). Again do this quickly so that there is no time for

memorization.

Deal the cards again in seven rows of seven cards and again ask which

column the selected card is in. No matter which column is selected, you will

know that the selected card is the middle (4th) card in that column. You can
