Magic Card Tricks & Sleights
Learn Card Tricks Online For Free
Thanks for peeking at our collection of magic card trick tutorials, card sleights, flourishes and other nifty things you can do with a deck of cards.
Many are easy to learn, and most require nothing more than a regular deck of playing cards and a bit of practice.
If you are completely new to magic card tricks (or magic in general), I suggest you check out our Handy guide to sleight of hand.
Except for self-working card tricks based on math, most card tricks employ “sleight of hand” to create illusions – card palming and peeking being some of the most common sleights.
