card tricks by Tim Gabrielson
The Key Card Have a spectator shuffle a deck of cards . When you get it back , secretly look at the bottom card . In our example , we will say it is the ‘ Ace of Hearts .’ This card is your key card . Have the spectator cut the deck into four piles . Ask him to pick one of the piles , look at the top card from that pile , and replace the card . Take the pile containing the key card and place it on top of the pile with the selected card . This places the key card on top of the selected card . Place the rest of the piles on top of this one . The deck may be cut several times without fear of separation of these two cards . Now , run through the deck until you see the key card ( Ace of Hearts ), the card next to it is the selected card .
Odd and Even Discard all of the court cards and divide the remainder of the deck into two parts , the odd cards in one pile , the even cards in another pile . This is done secretly . Hand the two piles to two different people and have them each select a card . Have them place their selected card in the other person ’ s pile . Upon receiving the cards back , it is easy to find the selected card because one will be the odd card in the even half , the other will be the even card in the odd half . Pretty easy .
Card On Forehead Have a card selected and secretly brought to the top of the deck . Palm off the card and secretly hold it while you spread the deck face up on the table in front of the spectator . Tell him to look carefully at the cards and see if he can see his card . While he is doing this , press your palm onto your forehead , which will cause the card to stick to your forehead . The spectator will not see this because he is looking at the cards on the table and when he looks up , he will see his card on your forehead .
