Demo: Mind Reading Cards

A well known beginning trick that's found in magic kits and is sold on its own, mind reading cards allow you to identify a playing card or number that a spectator is thinking of.

You hand several cards to a spectator and, depending on the type of cards you are using, ask him or her to think of a playing card or number. After a certain procedure, you're able to tell the spectator the exact playing card or number he or she is thinking of.

This is an exceptionally easy trick to learn and perform and it's great for kids. The number cards pictured here are from the Fun, Inc. Mysteries of the Master Magicians kit.
