Free magic tricks

The magician fans out 15 cards from the top of the deck and asks you to select any number of them from any location. You are asked to keep them. He then places 20 cards in a line on the table in front of you. You are asked to count how many cards you have in your hand. The magician then proceeds to count the same number along the line and gives you the card he stops on. You are asked to remember this card and all the cards are put back into a single stack. The magician then tells you if he cannot guess your card that he will buy you a drink. The magician tells you your card but it’s wrong, has a second attempt and gets it wrong once again, a third and final attempt also fails! The magician opens his wallet and there is no money in it, just your selected card!

There are several things to prepare for this trick. The first is the selected card, let’s say the 5 of hearts, it must be the 21st card in the deck from the top. An extra 5 of hearts must be in your wallet. When you count the 20 cards onto the table lay them down right to left and when you count back the volunteers card amount count it from the left. This will ensure that your volunteer will always select the 5 of hearts. Trust me!
