Effect: This trick is
a great crowd pleaser and will get a lot of recognition for
its seemingly magical effects. Basically, you separate four
sets of cards and magically bring them back together!!
Card Trick:
1. Take out the Kings,
Queens, Jacks, and Aces.
2. Tell your audience
that there is a story that goes along with this trick. (This
will keep their attention)
3. Begin the story,
"The jacks were having a party [Deal the four Jacks face up in
four separate piles] and they invited their friends the Kings.
[Deal a King face up on top of each Jack] They got a little
bored so they invited the Queens to liven up the party!! [Deal
the Queens on the Kings] The party got a little rowdy, so the
cops came and took them all to jail. [Deal the Aces on the
piles in the same way as the previous cards]".
4. Pick up the four
piles, one on top of the other. You now have one pile with 16
cards in it.
5. Continue, "Along
the way, the police cars got into an accident." Have the
audience give the deck as many complete cuts as they wish. (In
each "complete cut," the deck is cut and the bottom cards are
immediately put on top.)
6. Deal four cards
face down onto the table left to right, then four on top of
those, and so on until you have four piles of four cards each.
7. Finish your story:
"Even though they were separated in the accident, when they
arrived at the station they were [as you say the next part,
turn over all four piles] All Together!!!"
8. You will see that
the aces, kings, queens, and jacks are in their own separate
piles together!!!
9. Have fun with this
one and change the story however you feel fit!!!
10. Now finish your
story with: "Even though they were separated in the accident,
when they arrived at the station they were," As you say the
next part turnover all four piles, "All Together!!!"
11. You will see that
the all of the aces, kings, queens, and jacks are all in their
own separate piles together!!!
12. Have fun with this
one and change the story however you feel fit!!!
Description: As the
original trick you set it up pretty much the same way, except
instead on the 2-8 cards and the 4 aces behind them, you
should have from the top of the deck 2 thru 10 and then the
Aces. Now your ready.
1. Separate the four
jacks from the rest of the deck along with 4 other random
cards.
2. Fan the four jacks
out to the audience with the other four cards hidden behind
the back jack so that the audience cannot see them.
3. Begin with "These
are the 4 Jack firemen and they were sent to this burning
house [the deck] to put out the fire." Square up the cards and
place them on top of the deck.
4. Say, "The first
jack [actually one of the random cards] was sent to the bottom
floor," placing it in the bottom of the deck.
5. Say, "The second
jack was sent to the middle floor," placing it in the center
of the deck.
6. Say, "The third
Jack was also sent to the middle of the house, because this is
where the fire was blazing."
7. Say, " The final
Jack was sent to the top of the burning house," placing the
last Jack near the top of the deck.
8. Then say, " Every
time I knock, one of the Jacks will come out" (or ask audience
to knock). After you knock, pick up the top card which will be
a jack. Repeat this four times to get all four jacks out.
