Easy Trick: Double the Fun - A Card Location

Tuesday March 13, 2007
Here’s an easy way to have a spectator select and lose a card and then find it. Compared against the many other methods that we teach on this site to perform a similar outcome, this one is completely different. The spectator performs much of the handling of the cards, and at the end, there’s no trace of the secret.

Here’s how the trick looks to spectators. The magician takes out a deck of cards and separates it into two halves. The spectator is offered each half to be shuffled and mixed. Both halves are left on the table. The spectator is asked to select a card from one pile and then place it into the other. When the selected card is placed into the pile, that pile is mixed.

By simply looking through the mixed pile, the magician tells the spectator the card that he selected. All you need is a deck of cards.
