Some of the most common magic tricks that you will see being performed at shows are those that require cards. Card magic tricks have been popular at performances and yet they continue to mesmerize audiences. There are many different types of card tricks that make use of various techniques to achieve their level of surprise and astonishment among audiences. Here are some simple card magic tricks that you can try out on your own.

ABRACADABRA Card Trick This card trick is a self-working card trick if you know how to do it step by step. This card magic trick requires 21 cards from any deck. In order to perform the trick, try to deal three rows of card into a table with their faces up. Then try to place the next set of cards atop the previous ones and do this with the other cards until you get three sets with seven cards each. Make sure that you lay them on the table with each face of the cards visible to the audience.

Get a volunteer and ask him or her to think of a card fro any of the three groups that lay on the table. Tell them to remember it. Next, try to let him or her tell you from which group that card belongs. Once told, pick up one group of cards and then place it on top of the chosen group with the other placed at the bottom of the chosen group.

Next, try to deal the card the same way as you have done previously, by laying the cards in groups of three with seven cards each. Now ask the volunteer from which group the chosen cards can be found. Once the chosen group is given, carefully collect each group of cards with the chosen group still sandwiched from the other two. Once the process has been done three times, you are now ready to choose the volunteer’s card.

Now hold the cards face down in your hand. Try to ask the volunteer if he or she has heard about the word ABRACADABRA. Tell the audience that it is a magic word that will help you find the volunteer’s card. As you deal the cards one by one, do so by spelling the word ABRACADABRA as each card is being dealt. Once you have reached the last “A” stop for a moment and turn the card face up. That card would be the volunteer’s chosen card. Doing the process perfectly would always get you the chosen card along with knowing how to spell ABRACADABRA correctly.

Simple Card Trick Here is a simple card trick that would not require anything to remember or practice. It is simply a matter of natural probability used for amazing effects with cards. This trick can make use of any ordinary 52-card deck. What you want to tell your audience is that you can have them choose two numbers from one to ten and then you’ll try to have them show up in the deck either together or with a card separating them.

When a volunteer has chosen two numbers from one to ten, try to deal the cards one after the other face up. Surely enough you will find them surprisingly either together or with just one card separating them from one another. It can have a baffling effect on the audience, but it is a trick that is made possible by pure probability.
