Cool card tricks are quite easy to do, once the technique is mastered and to accomplish this, practice, practice and more practice is the key.
I happen to have two aspiring card magicians in my home, and the key word is aspiring, lol.
My husband and son both think they are the "master" of good card tricks, as they both try to out do the other.
My roll in all this, being their practice dummy, not that I'm complaining, as I do find it somewhat amusing.
How many times can one person listen to, and we all are familiar heard this saying, "pick a card, any card." my gosh, please already.
It was funny to see the looks in their faces, when I finally asked, "hey can either one of you make a card float up ou t if the deck?."
All, I recieved were a couple of blank stares.
It was time for mom, to show the boys up, I decide to learn a few cool card tricks of my own.
I picked-up a few decks of cards, while out doing my weekly grocery shopping, and found a nice little hiding spot to keep them safe until, I was alone to do some of my own magic.
I must admit, I was all thumbs, even had trouble doing the basic shuffle, cards were floating out of the deck, but in any magical way, thats for sure.
I found a few videos online, card tricks for beginners, with practice and re-watching the videos till I lost count, my first card trick under my belt, I was excited.
I keep this trick to myself and just kept practicing it, it wasn't a difficult one to learn, but for me, it was my first, and figured of I can learn one I sure can do another.
Most of the teachings, that can be found online are basic, and with a little practice, not really hard to do.
To really out do my husband and son, I needed to learn some advance, more eye popping tricks.
I purchased a really good book online that I downloaded to my laptop, and I was able to study my next trick right under their noises without them being any the wiser, I was loving it.
I think it took me all of a week, practicing a little each day, and studying from my book, I was mastering a few tricks at a higher level then them.
Finally the day has come, oh, boys come here, got something to show you.
Holding the deck of cards by the edge, between my thumb and middle finger, I softly rubbed the back of the deck with my pointer finger , and slowly a single card from the center of the deck started to wiggle and dance it's way up.
Jaws dropped, eyes popped, and at the same time, they both blurted out, "how did you do that?'' and the next question was, "where did you learn that?"
I just answered, I found a good teacher, and open up my laptop, showed them my secret. Card Magic Revealed, learning cool card tricks.
