Card Trick

Steps

1. 1
   Hold a normal deck of cards in your hands (with one or two jokers in ).
   
   

   
   
2. 2
   Memorize the bottom card.
   
   
   
3. 3
   Ask an audience member to pick a card and place it on top.
   
   
   
4. 4
   Cut the deck in half and place the bottom half on top. This puts the card you memorized ^ on top of their card. You can do as many cuts as you want, as long as they are single cuts.
   
   
   
5. 5
   Pretend to look for jokers and take them out, but also find the card you memorized. Their card is resting on top of it. Cut the deck so their card is on top.
   
   
   
6. 6
   Have them pick a number between ten and twenty.
   
   
   
7. 7
   Deal that many cards off the top of the deck
   
   
   
8. 8
   Take that amount of cards and hold them between your thumb and pointer, have them slap the cards and the one farthest to the left should be their card. Make sure you hold that one tight so it doesn't fall out.

   There is a similar trick to this. You will need a deck with two Jokers in it. Before the trick has begun, find both the Jokers and place one on the top and one on the bottom of the deck. Now the trick is ready to perform! Have your contestant pick a card anywhere in the deck. Then ask him/her to, after they have memorized it, place it back on top of the deck. Then fan through the deck and ask the participant to tell you when to stop. When they say stop split the deck there (If this step is to confusing then what I mean to say is that you can just split the deck.) Now their card is between both Jokers. Ask Him/Her to wave their hand over the deck and say "Jokers find my card." Fan through the deck so that your participant can see what you're doing. Their card should be right in between the Jokers.
