Trick'em Up http://trick.em-up.com Oh its just a magic trick, and its free Fri, 18 Apr 2008 00:53:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 en Bottom Trick http://trick.em-up.com/bottom-trick.htm http://trick.em-up.com/bottom-trick.htm#comments Fri, 18 Apr 2008 00:53:39 +0000 Admin http://trick.em-up.com/bottom-trick.htm Effect: Very easy, basic card trick.

Card Trick:
Keep the cards in a single pile. Be sure to find some way to gain knowledge of the bottom card (shuffling, dropping a card, etc.) Hold the deck in your left hand, in a normal dealing position. Put your right hand on the deck so that your right fingers are on top, thumb on bottom, as if you were going to pull the whole deck back out of your left hand.
Your right fingers begin to slide cards back, one by one, and you tell the spectator to say ’stop’ at any time. When they say ’stop’, use your right hand to pull off the cards that were moved. At the same time, your left thumb presses on the bottom card. As you slide the top cards away from the deck, the bottom card will come with them. (This works best if you pull the bottom card out, little by little while you go through the top cards.) Hold your right hand up so the spectator can see the bottom card of the group, but you can’t.
Now announce the card that was on the bottom. To make it more mystical say something about how you can tell it isn’t a black card by the expression on their face, or that you can tell it’s a Heart by the way their fingers wiggle. Or come up with something better. (That shouldn’t be too hard.)

The magician cuts off the cards above that point, turns them face up, and replaces them on the deck. Then he spreads the deck from the top until he reaches the first face down card. The magician puts this card face down on the table. He repeats this process three times. When the four card are flipped over, they are found to be all four aces!!!!!
Before the trick starts, remove the four aces and any two other cards. Make two face-up piles of two aces each. Lay one odd card on each pile. Pick up one pile of three cards, turn it face down, and lay it on the other pile. Pick up all six cards and lay them on top of the face-down deck. You’re ready to present the trick.


Starting below the top 6 cards, riffle your finger down the edge of the deck and ask the spectator to say stop. Keep the deck squared up so he (or she) won’t see the 3 face-up cards. At the point where he says stop, remove all the cards above it carefully, turn them upside down, and replace them on the deck. Then look through the deck from the top down. When you get to the first face-down card, put it face down on the table. (It will be an ace.) Turn the face-up cards face down and put them on the bottom of the deck. Repeat this 3 times, being careful not to reveal the secret face-up cards, and the spectator will always stop on the 4 aces. Don’t repeat it to the same crowd!

Preparation : This is a trick that can be done easily at the dinner table or at a show. It is called balancing a coin on a blade. You will need a table knife. Ask for a coin like a 2p or something like that. Unknown to the audience you have another coin the same coated with shoemakers wax or candle wax on one side.


Performance : As you receive the coin make a big show of getting the sword or knife. while doing so press the two coins together firmly. no one will notice that you have two coins stuck together. With a great show of taking care and the infinite amount of stillness you would need to balance a coin on a blade. Hold the blade horizontally sharp edge uppermost set the coin done on the blade so that the blade fits between the coins and holds there. Now with a might wave of your free hand you can prove that you can do this trick. I like to make the coin run up and down the blade but this does not always work and can make the trick fail so practice before you show it to anyone. And there it is the coin on the blade.

STEP 1: Hold the quarter between the thumb and index finger of your left hand in a vertical position.

STEP 2: Place the cloth over the quarter so the quarter is in the center of the napkin.

STEP 3: Carefully, get a small fold of the napkin between your thumb and the quarter. With your right hand, lift the front part of the cloth, facing your spectator, and drape it back on top of the other half and over your left wrist.

STEP 4: Show the spectator that the quarter is still there when doing step 3.

STEP 5: While still holding the quarter and the cloth, snap your wrist forward, causing both halves of the cloth to fall forward.

STEP 6: Twist the cloth so is appears that the quarter is wrapped securely in the center of the cloth. Put a little pressure on the edge of the quarter and it will appear to rise up through the napkin!. I am just beginning to work on my skills, and enjoy performing this trick.

Well back to the routine 2 pick up the nickel and place it in your left hand as you do this drop the secret penny into you left hand too with out any body noticing it and take the penny that’s left on the Table and put it in your pocket as you do this load your right hand with a small lock or watch etc. and keep it palmed there and use that hand to point at your closed left hand and say as you open the left hand

Now the penny has came back magically in my hand as you say this drop all three coins back onto the Table and now with your right hand that still has the secret object in it pick up the penny on the table and say now i will place the penny in my left hand. but what you really do is pretend to put it in you left hand. what you actually do is drop the secret big load into you left hand secretly as you secretly hold the penny in your right hand and now you say i will take the too that’s left and put them in my pocket. you do this with your right hand and as you do this you also get rid of the penny too at the same time now your clean! now say to them now when i rub my left hand constantly it makes friction and now when i open my hand look it changed into something else

The spectator selects a card from a deck of cards and replaces it. The magician cuts and shuffles it the deck. He then shows the top card (which is not the spectator’s) and place it under a handkerchief which is handed to the spectator. With a magic pass, the card in the handkerchief switches places with the spectators card in the deck.

Secret and Presentation
Have the spectator chose and replace a card on top of the deck. After they replace their card, give the deck a false cut. Follow this with a riffle shuffle keeping the top card on the top of the deck. Do a double lift to show a random card and turn them both face down again. Take the top card off of the deck (their card) and roll it into the handkerchief (face down), and hand them the handkerchief. From here on end, be creative in revealing the cards have switched places in the deck. You can even cut the deck when they see the cards have switched places so if they want to see where the card they saw go into the handkerchief went, they will see it went to the middle of the deck.

With this card that is created you can do tons of tricks with

1. Take to cards any two cards that are in your regular deck that you use
2. Take one of the cards and trim the top down a few milimeters(Smaller the better)
3. Now take the other card and put glue halfways up the card Really good, So It won’t be noticable but still stick well
4. Now take the trimed card and Place it on top of the glue card
5. Make the bottom of the card even
6. Place the new card between to heavy books or something
7. Pull it out later and VOILA


Card Trick:
Now your thinking “Ok I have now thoroughly screwed up two cards from my deck now, What The heck can I do with them”. Well here is your answer, Once dry place the card in the middle of the deck or so (ALWAYS REMEMBER WHERE THE BOTTOM OF THE CARD IS), Now Rifle through……. WOW You Notice it stops momentarily at that card, “Ok That was kewl”. IT GETS BETTER!. Take a card off the top this time and Then when you rifle through… Place the card inside of the cards. When you push up on the bottom card *GASP* The Card rises out of the Deck

Then find the card the easy way. Ask the spectator to remember any one of the visible cards and to point out its column. Close up each column and combine them into a packet of 21 cards, putting the selected column between the other two. Again deal the 3 columns and have the spectator point to the one with his (or her) card. Again collect the 3 columns with the selected column between the others, and deal them out again. But this time, when the spectator points out the column, pick up that column first and put the other two on top of it.


Now it is time to build the houses. To build a house, deal one card face down at your left and another card about an inch to its right. Then deal a card horizontally at the top of the first two, and another horizontally about an inch below it. You have created a square with a little square
open space in the middle.

In exactly the same way, build another house to the right of the first one, another one to its right, and so on. There will be enough cards to build 5 houses with one card left over. Put that card in the deck. (The spectator’s card is the card at the right in the 5th house.)

Now here is how you make the trick seem unbelievable. But don’t do it more than a couple times because the spectator might catch on. There are 5 houses. To find the spectator’s card you have to eliminate all the other houses and cards. Tell the spectator to pick three houses. If his (or
her) three choices include the house with the selected card, take away the other two houses. If the spectator’s three choices do not include the card, take those three houses away. Then ask him to pick 2 houses (if there are 3 left), or 1 house (if there are only 2 left). Do this till there is only one house, the house with the selected card. Ask the spectator to pick 2 cards. If he picks the top and bottom, take them away. If he picks left and right, keep them. You know the drill now. Ask him to pick one more card. If he picks the card, keep it, if not, throw it away, and boom, there is his card. Wow, we’re all finished.

A spectator selects , signs and returns a card to the deck.
The deck is then shuffled and the card that they signed  sticks to the ceiling while the others fall.

PREPARATION
You will need a pen , cards and a piece of magicians wax or sticky tape that has been rolled in a loop with the sticky side out.    ( this should be looped around your   finger or under the table)


METHOD
Have the spectator choose card which is then using your own favourite method returned to the deck and shuffled to the top.
With their card face down on top of the pack you can either slip the double sided sticky tape of your finger and on to the back of their card or stick a small piece of magicians wax to it.

Then toss the pack hard at the cieling keeping it parallel where the spectators card will stick and the rest of the pack will fall.
This trick is very impressive.It has een performed in different versions by David Blaine and Michael Ammar.

A coin is wrapped and set on a coaster on top of a glass. The package is tapped, and the coin falls through to the glass.

Secret:

This takes a bit of practice. Take a coin and wrap it in a piece of paper leaving one side open. Secretly slide the coin out of the package into your hand as you hold it. Set the paper down and pick up a coaster. Set the coaster on top of the upright glass, secretly placing the coin on the rim of the glass or tumbler balanced by the coaster. Place the package on top of the coaster and say you will make the coin penetrate through the coaster. Give a firm tap to the package, thus knocking the balancing coin into the glass. You might want to have the coin marked to prove it is the same one.
