Magic Tricks

Trick a free download and Nick Locapo does the video and his tricks are clearly explained and simple. I started with a Stripper (deck that is) 60 years ago. The good thing about the deck is my old hands can still use it. nick's five tricks can be done.
My 1961 Jean Hugard edited Encyclopaedia of Card Tricks and it contains over 60 stripper tricks. Three times the Svengali chapter.
Asa teenager my best trick was with a marked stripper deck and it astounded and fooled the spectators always. The deck is shuffled to red and black age piles and then half way changed aces. All the cards are shown to be in same colour piles. The piles are riffled together and then split into two and given to a spectator to deal to the colour of the aces and change to different ace. When finished the piles are combined carefully and shown to be a red and a black pile.
Bit more hazardous than Nick's group which are always good material. He is an instantly likeable guy.
