Magic cards
We’ve seen them on the streets as well as TV specials:
card game swindlers. With slight-of-hand prowess and a basic knowledge
of magic tricks, these con artists use card tricks to sucker people
out of their money. Although we don’t recommend anyone venturing
into the world of con artistry, magic cards are one of the oldest and
most celebrated illusions.
Some of the common tricks performed with magic cards include:
• Do As I Do
• Cutting the Aces
• Svengali Deck
• Incredible Spelling
• Mind Reader
Most of these tricks can be performed with a standard deck of cards
and a little practice, but novelty shops can also sell separate magic
cards. Loaded decks and levitating cards are just a couple examples
of magic cards.
