Greetings to all visitors to my site!
For those who don’t know me yet, I’ll introduce myself - my name is Sergey Kulikov and I’m the author of this site, which is dedicated to card tricks.
Some of my tricks are tricks with cards for children, which are very simple to learn. Now I want to show you one cool trick and teach it. It is very simple and perfect for children! There are no special tricks in it, so you can perform it even if you are a complete dummie with a deck in your hands.
Be sure to read and understand the trick to the end! It's very light, but damn effective!
At the end of the article there is a video on how to perform this trick!
Okay, enough chatting and let's get to the magic!
What does a trick look like from the outside?
You are trying to convince the viewer that anyone can be a seer! He is arguing with you.
You propose to conduct an experiment and pick up the deck and carefully shuffle it. You can see how this can be done in the “” section. When the cards are shuffled, you can begin the trick. Although the shuffle is not important here - it is just a maneuver.
Now you place two cards on the table, red and black, and ask the viewer to “scan” each card from the deck and name its color - red or black.
You begin to take one card from the deck and bring it face down to the spectator. He moves his hand over the card and names its color, and you lay out the cards in two piles - a pile with red cards and a pile with black cards. When 15-20 cards have been pulled out, you turn over all the cards and it turns out that the spectator has guessed all the cards. The black pile contains black cards, and the red pile contains red cards.
You immediately declare that the viewer is a seer! Well, or at least a shaman, and can influence, if not the weather, then certainly the deck!
For this trick I used Bicycle Outlaw cards. You can buy such cards
The Secret of Focus
2) Now place two cards on the table. One card is black and the other card is red. They will only indicate the colors of the cards.
3) Fan out the cards and get ready to draw cards. Now you need to get only black cards.
4) Take the first black card you come across and...
5) We pull it out to the viewer with its shirt up.
6) Tell the viewer to start “scanning” it with their hands. Just move your hand over the card and name its color. In the picture I have placed the card on the table, but this is not necessary. You can continue to hold it in your hands.
7) Let’s say the spectator said that the card is black. We place it on a black upside down card. This will be a black stack.
8) Now we draw the next black card and...
9) We hold it out to the viewer for “scanning”
10) The spectator “scans” and say that the card is red (although in fact it is, of course, black)
11) Place it on the red upside down card. We are already deceiving the viewer. The stack will already be fraudulent.
12) And we continue to do this 8-10 times. As a result, both the black pile contains cards and the red one.
13) But if we turn them over, we get that there are only black cards everywhere. Of course, there is no need to turn it over in front of the viewer. I did this to show what this kitchen looks like from the inside.
The continuation is already more interesting
14) Now we tell the viewer that we will change the cards and continue. Take a red and a black card from the deck and place the red one face up in the pile where the black card was originally turned face up. And accordingly, you place the black one where the red one is face up.
15) When all this is done, we begin to take out only red cards. We also take it out, let it “scan” and put it in the pile which color the viewer named. If you said it was red, then it was red, if it was black, then it was black.
16) We do the same thing 8-10 times. The result is a stack of cards.
17) If you look at it from the inside, it will look like in the picture, namely red cards all around.
18) It's time to check what came of it. Tell the spectator "Let's check the stacks and see what we got!" . Point the spectator to the normal pile (where the card was originally black). Everything about it is fine, as it should be. Let the spectator begin to check it, that is, open the cards.
19) You pick up a fake stack and...
20) While the spectator is distracted by turning over his cards...
26) Place the remaining black cards in your hands on it. That's all - the viewer turned out to be a seer and a shaman.

What do you need to know?
To perform magic tricks in public, you need to remember two important rules.Before you go to conquer others, it is important to meet all the requirements of a magician.
Every illusionist must:
- explore double lift;
- master the technique of tearing cards using the little finger.
It is recommended to study the skills of talented magicians only when you perfectly perform all the elements to perform a trick. Movements brought to automaticity will allow you to master the most complex tricks in the shortest possible time and always achieve the perfect result.
Study first and only then try to complete more complex ones. Only careful rehearsals and an insatiable desire to surprise will help you become an amazing illusionist performing magnificent tricks with ordinary paraphernalia found in every home.
Mesmerizing color change
Ordinary objects change color - who wouldn't be surprised? Truly magical tricks with cards and their secrets with fingers will help diversify any evening and make the performance truly bright. Show your friends an interesting illusion when everyone the usual attributes of the trick change color. The feint is performed with four previously chosen aces.
The magician shows the audience the paraphernalia of the show and begins the performance. The cards are held in the left hand, and then two red aces are placed face down on the tabletop or bar counter.
Before surrendering, the illusionist shows that the drawings are really red. The people around are sure that there can be no deception. Black ones remain in the hands of a talented magician.
He performs magical movements and asks the audience to turn over the cards on the table. And this is a real miracle! Now you have red cards in your hands, and black ones on the table.

The Secret of Focus
The secret of the trick is quite simple. To carry it out, it is enough to be able to perform a double lift. Have you decided to learn a new way to surprise your loved ones?
It’s enough to practice the techniques yourself, and you can go out in public Work through each stage and feel free to impress your friends:
- From your favorite deck, get the illusions you need four aces. The rest of the pack needs to be removed. Show the audience the pictures.
- Hold them in your hand in a certain order: one black, two red and one black. Guests should not notice that you have rearranged the cards in a special order. Movements should look natural and relaxed.
- Make a fan out of them with your right hand and transfer them to your left. While folding the fan, tear off two cards with your little finger. This way you can separate the top ones from the bottom ones.
Now you can perform a double lift:
- Carefully lift the first two cards so that it appears as if there is only one card.
- Show your guests the top picture. It will be red.
- Next, place two pieces on top of the others and show the real one lying on top. This will be the red ace.
- Hand it over to the surface you are performing the trick on. Don't forget to clarify to your guests that you are dealing a red ace. In fact, he is black.
The ability to quickly count back is necessary to successfully perform a trick. It is important to be extremely careful when performing the following steps. To do this, you should master countdown skills:
- Count the remaining three pieces and transfer them to your right hand.
- During the countdown, two red aces are placed at the bottom. In this case, black remains at the top.
- The shuffled pile must be taken in your left hand. The deck should be face down.
- Carefully tear off two cards using your little finger. The upper ones must be separated from the lower ones.
- Take two things as if they were one. Show your guests the picture above for them. It will be red.
- Place both cards on top of the last one. Place the real top one on the table. It is recommended to say that you are dealing a red ace to the table.
If each step is completed correctly, you should be left with two red aces in your hands. Black ones are on the table. Perform magical movements and turn over the pictures in your hands.
Your loved ones will be surprised, because they were sure that they were lying on the countertop. The cards lying on the table can be turned over by any interested spectator. They will be black. The show took place!
Card tricks are always fascinating. Learning interesting can provide unique opportunities. For example, you put your hand on a card and another picture. How could this not be surprising?
Sleight of hand and prepared props allow you to impress the most demanding guests. Don't think that only professional virtuosos are capable of creating a magic show. Even a beginner can master simple tricks!
The secret of the trick with changing the color of the card is revealed in this video:
Red or black
Mastery Level 2
You will need
one pre-prepared standard deck.
Focus
The magician and the spectator each have half a deck in their hands. They each deal their half of one card to the table face down in two piles, randomly separating the red cards from the black ones. At the end, the cards are shown face up - and indeed, all the reds are with the reds, and the blacks are with the blacks.
Methodology
This is the simplest trick that can be done with a prepared deck. You will need a deck with all the red cards at the top and all the black cards at the bottom.
1. Take the deck out of your pocket, turn it face up and divide it into two parts: put the red cards in one hand and the black cards in the other. Of course, the audience shouldn't see this. Hand one half of the deck to one of the spectators, say Tanya, asking him to hold the deck face down and not look at the face of the cards.
2. Having asked Tanya to stand opposite or next to you, tell her that you will both divide the cards into black and red, following your intuition. Tell her that all she has to do is repeat after you.
3. Begin by each holding your half of the deck face down in your left hand. Tell Tanya: “This may surprise you, but if you believe in yourself, you can sometimes feel where the black card is and where the red card is. Just clear your mind and deal the cards on the table in two piles face down. The first pile will contain cards that, as your intuition tells you, are red, and the second pile will be black. I'm starting, I have to do the same. Let's see who can do it better."
4. Start dealing your cards in two piles, while randomly saying: “Red, red, black, red, black, black, black, red.” etc. Make sure Tanya does the same, but as soon as she starts, stop saying "red, black", just deal the cards in two piles. Keep about the same rhythm as Tanya, so that soon you will both finish dealing, and there will be two piles of cards in front of you: one, presumably with red cards, and the second with black cards.
5. Now you must collect all four piles. Be careful not to say something like, “This is your red pile, and this is mine,” or similarly point out, “No, you collect my reds and your blacks,” or something equally inappropriate.
6. Before you say anything, collect the stack of Tanya cards closest to your right with your right hand and place it face down in your left hand. Take your stack on the right and place it on top, and then place the stack on the left on top of it. Now take the entire stack that is in your left hand and carefully place it on top of the remaining Tanya cards that are still on the table, then assemble the entire deck. Please note that all your cards are collected at one end of the deck, and Tanya's cards are at the other. As you build the deck, tell the audience: “Now, if both Tanya and I did everything right, all the black cards will be with the black cards, and the red cards will be with the red ones, but I think it would be too presumptuous to expect this. Let's see how close we come to this."
7. Fan out the cards on the table and look: all the red cards are located at one end of the deck, and the black ones are at the other.
