Transporting Card Trick

Effect: Tell the spectator you’re going to do a “memory test”.  Show him a card, flip it back over and hand it to him tell him to try to remember the card.

You then show him what your card is and ask him to remember that card also, flip it back over and hold the card in your other hand.

Ask him what his card was, you then reveal that you are holding the card he thought he was holding and he’s holding the card he thought you was holding.

Preparation:  To perform the Transporting Card Trick you will need a duplicate card. You place the cards in the following order.

5 of Clubs, 6 of clubs, 5 of Clubs, Rest of Deck

(Obviously you can use any cards you want)

Method: Do a double lift and show the 6 of clubs to the spectator. Place the card back over on top of the deck and have the spectator hold it in his hand.

Perform another double lift to show the 5 of clubs, ask the spectator to remember that card. Put it back on top of the deck and do a single lift to grab the 6 of clubs.

Ask the spectator which card he is holding. He’ll say it’s the 5 of Clubs, You then say “no.. I have the 6 of clubs; you have the 5 of clubs”

Have him flip over his hand and he will see the cards have magically switched places.
