Magic Tricks

This is a silly little trick that I perform with a lot of humor. First of all I mention that this little wallet was handed down to me from my grandfather who bought it in a little leather goods shop in Italy in 1930. I show it to the spectator so they can see for themselves the "finest leather craftsmanship in all of 20th century Europe." (It's actually obvious that it is a cheap plastic toy wallet).

Then I show the cards and explain that I will place the 7 of clubs face down on top of the 9 of diamonds and will, using all my magical power, push the cards through each other so that when I remove my hand the 9 of diamonds will be face up on top of the 7 of clubs which will have traveled through the 9 to end up face down on the table underneath the 9.

I begin to concentrate deeply but explain that I need to see a doctor about my sleeping problem. That I feel weak and tired. After a minute or two "mustering up all of my power" I remove my hand (exhausted and out of breath) to show nothing happened. I then lift up the 7 of clubs to show it blank. I explain that apparently I could only muster enough power to get the ink to transfer! And I then reveal the 7 of clubs printing on the back of the 9 of diamonds.

Great effect and the "patter" makes the trick fun, gets a few laughs, and doesn't take it too seriously. It really is a good trick and the secret really is clever!

I always have a lot of fun with this trick I absolutely love it. There are a lot of silly magic tricks that we had when we were kids that are actually decent little tricks that you can really have fun with if you make it known that you are aware it's kind-of a kids trick.

Get it! 7 bucks and a million laughs.
