Put the cards behind your back and exclaim you’re going to find their card without looking.Keeping the deck tight to avoid exposing the fact the cards are reversed, place the spectator’s selected card face down into the middle of the deck.This leaves all of the deck face up in your left hand, except the top card. While they do this, casually turn the deck over in your hands.Tell them to remember the card and show everyone without letting you see. Spread the deck and allow the spectator to select a card (being careful not to expose the face up bottom card).Before you begin, secretly turn over the bottom card of your deck so it’s the only card facing up.After pretending to read their mind, push their selected card forward.Ī spectator’s selected card magically turns over in the deck. Flip over the other 2 cards and tell them to think about their card.And, if it’s an Ace of Clubs, then they selected the Ace of Spades. If it is an Ace of Spades, then their mental selection was the Ace of Clubs. If this card is the Queen of Hearts (the original center card), then this was their selected card. Once they’re done shuffling, flip over the card you followed.As they do this, carefully follow the center card. Turn back around and have them mix all 3 cards on the table casino style.Once this is complete, have your spectator turn all 3 cards face down.If they chose the Ace of Clubs, they would swap the Queen of Hearts and Ace of Spades). Then, to secretly tell the other audience members what card they mentally selected, instruct them to pick up the 2 cards they DIDN’T select and swap their positions.Turn your back and tell your spectator to simply think of 1 of the 3 cards.Remove the Ace of Spades, Queen of Hearts and Ace of Clubs from a deck of cards and place them on the table in that order left to right.Mind reading time! Read your spectator’s mind and name a card they were merely thinking of.
