How
the Trick Appears:
With nothing more than kicking a deck of cards you can tell which
is the chosen card.
How the Trick Works:
Have a shuffled deck of cards on the floor. Have a person look
through the deck and pick a card. Have him/her place his card
on top of the deck. Now have them cut the deck into five piles.
(Remember the chosen card is on the top of the first pile.)
Now by pointing to the piles have them put the deck back together
in a different order.
The trick is that as you are pointing at the card piles, instructing
the audience member to put them back together... you take a pinch
of salt and drop it on top of the chosen card as you point to
it. (Slick, eh?)
Then lightly kick the deck of cards with your right foot, slide
into the cards to make them glide to the left.
Examine the deck; the place in the deck with the most distance
between one card and the next is the chosen card.
Notes: Practice this trick before performing
to get a feel for how and how hard to kick the cards, and how
to "see" the chosen card.
