Want card tricks revealed to you? Want the secrets? Let's dig in . . .

There are two big secrets to card tricks. The first is that you must be natural in all your movements. The second is that you must do the actual "trick" part when the audience isn't expecting it.

Let me give those to you again.

1) Be natural in all your movements

2) The "trick" must never happen when they expect it.

Here's what I mean. People have been told that the hand is quicker than the eye. It's not true, but many believe it.

That being said, you arouse great suspicion when you're movements are too quick or jerky. People will think that you did something tricky. So don't. Be natural. Don't give reason for suspicion.

Second, let's say you were doing a trick where a card "jumps" from one deck and goes into the other. The actually movement of the card must never happen when you expect it to. It needs to have happened way before the supposed "jump" happens.

Here, let me reveal an actual card trick now . . .

Get some cards and shuffle them all up. Take a card and hold it out to the group you are showing. Say that you will tell what the card is by reading it through the back of the card itself.

And then you name the card correctly.

And this is how it's done. When you draw the card, grasp it between your thumb and fingers (on the top and the bottom of the card). Now give the card a squeeze the card so that it bends (so that the middle is pointing towards you). If you tilt the card just a little, you will be able to see what it is.

You can get away with this motion by moving the card from side to side to show your entire group what the card is.

Then you get a peek at the card, and say what exactly it is!
