“Forcing a card” is the name of a famous magic card trick and what we have done is made a version of this trick. It is a favourite of magicians probably because it is so amazing to witness yet so easy to perform. This easy trick could be convincing even when a child performs it.
Tools:
All that is needed is a deck of cards, any kind or size will do.
For starters:
Prepare your deck of cards beforehand by choosing one card that will be the one you want your audience to choose. You are the one that chose the card despite the fact that they think they have made the decision. It is important to remember which card you choose. Remembering which card you have is the only real skill in the trick. Actually, remembering the card that you choose beforehand is the only hard part of the trick. Put the card you chose before on the top of the deck.
This is the first step:
Someone must select a number between five and ten so group together some people and ask a single person. It does not matter which number they choose. It could be, eight, five, nine, ten, seven or six. Keep the cards face down. When they tell you the number that they want you say, “I want you to count down to ten using the deck of cards. Here, I will show you how.” After you tell them this you take the deck of cards and deal them into a pile beginning your count with the number they chose. For instance, if they picked the number seven you would take the top card and lay it face down on the table saying, “Seven”. Now the remainder of the cards will be dealt out while you count them continuing from the first card for instance, “eight, nine and ten.” Remember the ëforced card’ which you chose at the start well this card is now on the top of the deck on the table.
Gather up the cards you have just counted and placed on the table and place them on top of your pile but keep them facing down. Give the audience member the deck of cards and ask them to count to ten while going through them. The cards will be laid out by them. Now explain how the tenth card is the one they chose but do not let them show you what it is. Ask them to show it to their friends but don’t let you see it.
The Grand Finale:
Let them see that you are concentrating very hard on thinking of their card and you will let them know what it is. When you are done pretending you have psychic powers you turn to them and proclaim, “the card you have is aÖ” You chose a ëforced card’, this is the same as the chosen card by the audience member and also the one at the top of the deck. If the Ace of Spades was your chosen card then you would insist, “You are holding in your hands the Ace of Spades my friend.” They have to be carrying this card of course. They will never know you chose the card and convinced them to choose the same one. The trick will leave them shocked.
