Q&A for How to Do Easy Card Tricks

Just keep bending and working them so they become more flexible. Over time, they'll be easier to shuffle.

Just keep practicing. Starting slow is perfect as long as you're getting the movements down. As you get better, you're going to get a lot faster.

Carefully pinch the sides of the cards when you're lifting them up so you're less likely to spread them out.

Hold the corner between the middle and pointer finger. Curl your fingers in so they can almost touch your wrist, then fling your hand out super fast and release the card.

Place the cards inside a clean paper bag and add a couple tablespoons of flour. Shake well, take out the cards and wipe them off.

While you cut the deck, do a pinky break on the bottom, the half now on top. Then cut again, and the deck is in the same order as it was before.

It does not matter that much, but if you want you can get smaller cards.

Hold the top left corner with the tip of your pointer, the right corner with the pointer joint, and then flick your wrist as hard as you can and let go at the same time.

In some cases it depends on how new the cards are. Newer cards slicker than cards you've been working with for a while.

Tell them to let you shuffle it and then cut it 4 times. If done correctly, the deck should be in its original position.

There are multiple methods. Here is my favorite method: You can put the card on a table/flat surface, pass your hands over the card a couple of times. The third time, bring your dominant hand down and snap the card away. (Snap your fingers while it passes over the card.) Your middle finger should flick the card away.

I've done magic tricks with old and new decks and neither is better than the other. Just make sure there are no rips or marks on the cards, or the viewer may think that you're trying to cheat.

Try talking to the spectator without looking at the deck, and keep it cheerful and funny or surprising. It can also help to have a friend to help, especially if they can do something interesting that makes people focus on them instead.

Put the cards on a flat surface and bring your hand over the cards 3 times. On the third time, flick the card away using your pinky finger.

Here is a simple fun way to shuffle: simply grab a deck of cards and split the deck in half make sure that the side with the numbers is facing the outwards of you. Put your pointer finger on top of each deck and put your thumb at the bottom. Then put your middle finger and put it in the middle of the deck, pushing the cards outward. Now push with your middle finger into the deck, so they all push themselves outwards. Do this, making sure the numbers are facing the table. After this, bring the cards together and that’s it!

You could use a pinky break while holding the deck in dealer's grip. Put the top of your pinky between the cards that you want to know the position of.

Yes, but it might not look just as professional, although it might add a funny twist to the trick.
