Cutting the corner
January 7th, 2010 by admin received No Comments »
The magician shuffles the deck and places it on the table, face down. Your are then asked to cut the cards and place the two piles side by side. Pile 1 are the set that were on the table originally, and pile 2 are the cards moved off the top. Your are then asked to take the top card at the cut position which is the top card from pile 1. You are asked to remember this card, then you place it on top of pile 2. Then finally you are asked to place pile 1 on top of pile 2. The magician takes the deck and riffles it, then cuts several times and instantly throws your selected card out on to the table!
Before you perform this magic trick you need to modify your deck of cards. Take a pair of nail clippers and cut the corner off one card, not too much just increase the radius on the corner slightly. Then repeat on the opposite corner of the same card. Ensure this card is at the bottom of the deck and when you shuffle and make sure it stays at the bottom of the deck. When you perform the magic trick the selected card will be below this modified card (when the deck is face down). You can then throw out on to the table the selected card.
