If you love magic tricks and want to impress your friends and family, learning from a professional magician like Spidey can be a great idea. Spidey is a Canadian magician and mentalist who has performed on popular TV shows like America's Got Talent and Penn & Teller: Fool Us. In this article, we will reveal some of Spidey's secrets when it comes to performing magic tricks with cards.

1. The Classic Card Force

The classic card force is one of the most fundamental techniques in card magic. It involves making the spectator select a specific card without them realizing that you made them do it. Spidey's tip for performing this trick is to be confident and casual when you are performing it. Act as if you are just shuffling the cards and let the spectator pick a card from the middle of the deck. With a bit of practice, you can learn how to control the selection process and make the spectator choose the card you want them to.

2. The Ambitious Card Routine

The ambitious card routine is a classic trick that involves repeatedly bringing a chosen card to the top of the deck, even after it has been shuffled back into the middle. Spidey's advice for performing this trick is to use misdirection to your advantage. While you are showing the audience the card going back into the deck, use your other hand to secretly move the chosen card to the top. This will make it seem as if the card has magically risen to the top of the deck.

3. The Card to Pocket Trick

The card to pocket trick involves making a chosen card disappear from the deck and reappear in your pocket. Spidey's tip for performing this trick is to use a duplicate card. When the spectator chooses a card, secretly switch it with the duplicate card and palm the original card. Then, when you are ready to perform the trick, pretend to put the duplicate card into your pocket, but actually put the original card there instead.

4. The Four Aces Trick

The four aces trick is a classic trick that involves finding all four aces in the deck. Spidey's advice for performing this trick is to use a false shuffle to keep the aces in the desired order. Then, when you are ready to reveal the aces, use misdirection to make it seem as if you are finding them randomly. This will add to the surprise and amazement of the trick.

5. The Colour Change Trick

The colour change trick involves changing the colour of a chosen card. Spidey's tip for performing this trick is to use a gimmicked card that can be easily flipped over to reveal a different colour. Then, when the spectator chooses a card, secretly switch it with the gimmicked card and perform the colour change trick.

6. The Card Prediction Trick

The card prediction trick involves predicting which card the spectator will choose. Spidey's advice for performing this trick is to use a force to make the spectator choose a specific card. Then, use misdirection to secretly switch the chosen card with a duplicate card that has your prediction written on it. When you reveal the prediction, the audience will be amazed.

7. The Card Vanish Trick

The card vanish trick involves making a chosen card disappear from the deck. Spidey's tip for performing this trick is to use a double lift to secretly lift two cards off the deck as if they were one. Then, when you are ready to make the card vanish, simply drop the double lift behind the deck and pretend to have made the card disappear.

8. The Card Production Trick

The card production trick involves making a card appear out of thin air. Spidey's advice for performing this trick is to use a palm to secretly hold the card in your hand. Then, when you are ready to produce the card, simply open your hand and show the audience the card that seems to have appeared out of nowhere.

9. The Card Sandwich Trick

The card sandwich trick involves trapping a chosen card between two other cards in the deck. Spidey's tip for performing this trick is to use a false shuffle to keep the chosen card in the desired position. Then, when you are ready to reveal the sandwich, use misdirection to make it seem as if the spectator is the one who found the chosen card between the two other cards.

10. The Card Flourish Trick

Finally, Spidey recommends learning some card flourishes to add some flair to your magic tricks. Card flourishes are fancy techniques that involve manipulating the cards in various ways, such as spinning them around your fingers or throwing them in the air. While these techniques do not necessarily involve a magic trick, they can add to the visual appeal of your performance and make you look like a pro.
