Kids Magic Tricks – XRay Vision Card Trick

I discovered this cool little post. Quite an ice breaker at parties or other social gatherings.

Hey there, time for some easy card tricks. Yes, time to learn magic card tricks and time to have fun like little kids do. Kids have a lot more fun than grown ups as a common rule.

Let’s get into the meat. Today’s trick is named:

The X-Ray Vision Card Trick

!! Before you read on, go get a deck of cards. You will learn this trick faster and you will actually remember it. Believe me on this.
This is so crucial.

Ok, now that you’ve got your deck of cards:

Phase 1. The first thing you do is place all the club cards in the deck in a lowest to highest order. Looking at the bottom the ace of clubs should be the first card you see. Then the two of clubs, then the three etc.

NOTE: you do this beforehand.

Phase 2. Introduce the trick and get your friend to pick out a card besides the bottom clubs.

sample: “Ok audience_member_name let us do some magic. Pick a card, no, pick another, you can’t have that one (in case he/she chooses from among the clubs).”

TIP: An option that you have to avoid people choosing from among the clubs is to take two thirds of the pack and have your audience member choose from among those. You would then just place it back on top of the deck.

Phase 3. Place the chosen card on top of the deck and cut the deck until there is a clubs on the bottom.
sample: “Ok, now cut the deck. Now you cut the deck. And YOU” (repeat this until you see a club card on the bottom)

TIP: with just a little practice you will find that you can estimate when a club card has gotten to the bottom of the pack. Make sure you don’t draw attention to the fact that you’re looking at the bottom card.

Phase 4. Once you see a club card on the bottom, make a note of it. In our example the club card you will see is the eight of clubs.

ex: “You do believe in magic don’t you friend name. NO?! Then tell me then: how could I know that your card is the eighth card from the top.”

NOTE: while you are talking you casually note the number of the club, but make sure your friend doesn’t see it.

Phase 5. Deal the first 7 cards face down and turn over the 8th one. It will be the chosen card.

ex: “Explain that then. Let me show you another one just to show you that this is really magic.

If you had problems understanding the working of this magic card trick then do yourself a favor and actually follow along the steps with a pack of cards. You will see that it gets very clear then.

After having succesfully proved magic is real you can quit while you’re ahead OR beddazzle with a few more easy card tricks:
