Card tricks which are easy to learn

For kids and beginners, magic tricks have to be easy to understand, learn, and perform. Luckily, there are plenty of card tricks that fit this description perfectly.

From floating cards to many different ways to "find a card," these are so simple that anyone can feel like a magician. You just have to know the secrets.

There are many easy card tricks , but this is definitely one of the best. It's the perfect first trick that any kid can learn and is a great foundation for other, more complicated tricks. This is a basic "find a card" trick that works with a spectator.

When you learn it, you'll understand how magicians can guess your card every time. Plus, it's fun to combine this one with "the rising card" and make it into even more of a spectacle. The rising card is a classic magic trick and it's another simple one that anyone can learn. The goal here is to defy gravity as your spectator's card mysteriously rises from the deck. Does it do it all on its own? As you'll soon find out, the secret lies in carefully positioning your fingers.

All you need for this one is a little patience and a deck of cards. Want to know the secret to levitating a playing card? This trick is surprisingly easy and once you learn it, you'll dazzle your friends as a playing card floats from one hand to the other. For this card trick, you'll need to create a gimmick that creates the illusion. It requires a few common items you probably have around the house. Grab your deck of cards, a straw, some black thread, tape, and scissors and you're ready to get started.

A black string is a magician's best friend, and did you notice that they almost always wear black clothes? It helps with the illusion when you want to pull off tricks like floating cards. For this cool trick, go beyond levitation and spin a playing card in midair. It will then mysteriously rise to your hand. It's incredibly easy once you know the secret. Get ready to break the laws of gravity, at least in the eyes of people watching you.

This fun visual trick shows you another way to make a card seem like it's floating over your hand. You'll create a gimmick card for this one, so make sure you have a playing card you can cut up. The only requirement is that the design on the back match the face card you're working with. Beyond that, a little glue and a pair of scissors are all you need. Levitation is so cool that you should have yet another way to float a card. After all, even beginning magicians can use an extra floating card trick, right?

This time, suspend a playing card over a full deck. It requires a different type of gimmick card, so even though it's the same effect, you will learn a new magic technique. It's fun and easy, perfect for magic rookies. Everyone will think you've magically turned your hand into a magnet for cards when you learn this trick. It's a refreshing departure from the usual "find a card" plot.

Making the gimmick card is the key to holding all 10 cards in your hand while all your fingers are completely flat. Scissors, glue, and a little practice are all you'll need. This is one of the very best card magic tricks that a beginner can learn and perform. It's easy and requires no sleight of hand, just a full deck of cards. For this trick, you'll have someone pick a card, then lose it in the deck. The magician offers the cards to a spectator and asks for a selection to be made.

After noting their card, the spectator is invited to return the card to the deck. The magician then goes through the pack and is able to easily divine the identity of the selection. Explanation: Before the trick begins, separate the cards into red and black halves.

When the spectator selects his card, note whether or not his selection comes from the red or black portion of the deck. The opposite applies if the selection is a black card. The Queen of Hearts and two black Aces are removed from the deck and placed face-up in front of the spectator. After looking at each card, the magician is able to tell exactly which of the three cards the spectator is thinking of. Instruct your volunteer to turn all three cards face down. When this is complete turn around and look at the three face down cards.

At this point you instruct the spectator to mix all three cards on the table. What you must do is follow the card in the center. If you are looking at the Ace of Spades, then their mental selection is the Ace of Clubs. Should you be looking at the Ace of Clubs, their mental selection is the Ace of Spades.
