Magic Tricks

This is definitely a great method with a great trick attached to it. I performed it for a few poker players and they accused me of couting cards. I will say, however, that this is normally not a trick that would fit in a show except on certain occassions. If you do card magic, I'm sure you've had someone say while you're performing, "I wouldn't want to play cards with you," or "I wish you were on my team in a card game." That usually gets a genuine laugh from everyone except the magician whose faking a laugh at that line which he's heard 5 times previously that same night. Anyway, when they say that, now's the time for this trick to shine. Plus, if you're in someone else's house, you can borrow a deck of cards (just make sure that it's 52). Definitely recommended for someone that likes the "playing a game" presentation of card magic.
