Effect: The spectator cuts the deck into four piles. From each pile three random cards are dealt onto each of the other piles. The top card of each pile is turned over to reveal all four Aces. Preparation: Put all four aces onto the top of the deck. Procedure:- Tell the spectator to cut the deck into two piles. Once he has done that, have them divide the two piles into four.
- We will call the piles numbers one to four; four being the top pile with the Aces. (Don't tell the spectator these numbers. They are just for us to keep track of things.)
- Have the spectator pick up pile one, put the top three cards onto the bottom, and deal the (now) top three cards onto the other piles (two, three, and four. One card to each pile.)
- The spectator continues, in order, to do the same with the other piles. (You just point to each pile, when you want them to use it.)
- There IS no 5, you're done! Just turn over the top cards to reveal the Aces!

This is a GREAT trick. And it's REALLY EASY. It is "detectable," but you get away with it most of the time. If people have had a drink or two, this is an incredible trick -- they'll think you're David Copperfield or something. EFFECT:The audience is given two random cards. They look at them, but the magician doesn't see them. The audience inserts the cards into the deck, and without shuffling, the magician throws the deck into a chair, but somehow manages to pick up the two cards, holding them up in front of the gaping audience members. HOW IT'S DONE: This is a trick of the mind. - You prepare the deck this way: pick two cards of different suits, but the same color, such as the Eight of Spades, and the Three of Clubs. These are the cards you are going to give to the audience. Next, pick the "opposites" of the cards: the Eight of Clubs, and the Three of Spades. These are the cards you will fool your audience with. Put the opposite cards at the top and bottom of the deck - Eight of Clubs on top, Three of Spades on bottom. And the "real" cards both go on top.
- Without too much explanation, deal the two top cards out, face down, and let the audience look at them. Next, let them insert the cards back into the deck.
- Make sure they can see that you're not doing ANYTHING to the deck. Hold the deck between your thumb on top, and your fingers on the bottom. Swing the deck back and forth a few times (make SURE they can't see the bottom card, though!) Perhaps you count 1, 2, 3, and then throw the deck into a chair (or couch, or something, where it'll be easy to pick up.) As you throw the deck, hold onto the top and bottom card with your thumb and middle finger. IMMEDIATELY hold the cards up for all to see.
- It helps if you position yourself so that the audience doesn't turn their heads around to watch where you threw the cards. You should be close to the chair you throw the deck into, so you can draw their attention back to the two cards you held onto.
- They picked the Eight of Spades, Three of Clubs - but you are holding the Eight of Clubs, Three of Spades. It's VERY rare that anybody notices. And if the audience is drunk, you get a lot of "Ohmygaaawd, how'd he DO that?" and gaping mouths... Great trick!

| Effect:
With the spectator's help, you make four piles of cards. When this is done you flip over all the piles and all four Aces are there.
Preperation:
Arrange the deck like so: three Aces on the bottom and one on the top.
Presentation:
Ask the spectator to tell you when to stop putting down cards. Begin dealing cards face down on the table. Continue until they have you stop. After the first pile is down, stick the card deck, still in your hand, under the table and put the bottom card on top. This gives you an Ace on the top. Repeat the above steps until you have four piles. Then flip over all the piles to show an Ace on the bottom of each.

Effect : This trick is exactly like the 4 Friendly Kings above. However, this variation allows for less chance of making a mistake. The magician has three Kings in his hand, and tells the audience one of their friends is missing in the forest (represented by the deck.) Then he tells of how the three Kings decide to go looking for their friend. He then squares up the Kings and puts them on top of the deck. He says the first King decides to go to the back of the forest, in case their friend came out. Magician puts the first King on the bottom of the deck. Then he says that the second of the Kings will look for the missing King inside the forest, so then he puts the second card in the middle of the deck. Lastly, he tells the audience that the third King decides he will wait for the missing King at the entrance to the forest, so he leaves the King on top. He then tells the audience that the three King's decided before they started to meet in the forest if they could not find him, to discuss their next move. The magician cuts the deck, flips the cards face over and finds the Kings are all together.
Card TrickBefore Hand: - Gather all four Kings.
- Put one King on the top of the deck. Fan the other three out, and put one card (any card) behind the second King. (Make sure it is hidden.) With the audience:
- Tell the audience the story.
- Sqaure the cards and put them on top of the deck.
- Put first King on the bottom.
- Put second "King" (really not a King) somewhere in the center.
- Leave the third King on top.
- Cut the deck, putting the bottom half of the deck onto the top.
- Find the Kings in the deck with their missing friend.
This variation is a little easier because there is only one fake card to hide and to put into the deck.

Do the first 3 steps away from your audience or pre-prepared.
- Take the four Kings out of the deck, and also two other cards.
- Fan the four Kings out, and place the two other cards you selected behind the second King. Line them up so your audience cannot see the two other cards.
- Show the Kings to the spectators.
- Place the Kings (and the two secret cards) face down on the top of the deck.
- Tell the audience that the four Kings are good friends, and they don't let anything get between them.
- Place the top King on the bottom of the deck. You may show the audience this card.
- Place the next card (not a King) into the center of the deck.
- Repeat step 7.
- Leave the fourth card on the top. You may show the audience that it is a King.
- Explain that the Kings are real good friends and will soon be back together.
- Cut the deck in the middle, and put the bottom half on the top.
- Search the deck for the four Kings. They have been magically moved next to each other

| Effect :
The magician picks out two cards. He has a spectator cut the deck. He flips over the cards that he picked, then he flips over two cards of the deck that was cut. The cards match.
- Shuffle the deck so the specator doesn't think you've rigged it.
- Tell them you will pick two cards. Go through the deck making sure you look at the bottom and the top cards of the deck.
- Pick out a card that matches the bottom card. (If the bottom card is a Four of Hearts, you would pick out the Four of Diamonds to match it.) Then pick out a card that is the same as the top card.
- Ask the spectator to cut the deck.
- Take the first card, the one on top of the original top of the deck, and flip it over.
- Flip the bottom half of the deck over completely.
- Flip over the cards you picked. They all match!

EFFECT : The Magician holds his arms out in a “follow me” motion. One wrist is placed over the other with thumbs pointing to the floor. The fingers interlace and on the count of three, the magician twists his wrists to be pointing straight up. METHOD : Here’s the arm twisty thing David Copperfeild opened with. It really is a cool trick. You have to perform it right though. The fact that he did it in front of an entire audience is risky as hell. When he said, “ok, thumbs down,” he stopped and said, “sir, I said thumbs down,” in which almost the whole audience got momentarily distracted, which is all you need. It’s really simple. Just do as he did first. Ok, hold out your arms, put your thumbs facing down, cross your arms right over left, now line up your thumbs real good (*this is where the special move happens*) now clasp your fingers to together, and rotate your arms (which they cant do) * SPECIAL MOVE: The spectator will momentarily look at their thumbs to line them up. While then do that, you take your left hand (the one underneath) and spin it 360 degrees counterclockwise. It helps if you open your hand and close it real quick again because it’s less likely to get noticed when you’re doing the move. It’s kind of a stretch though. Make sure you have your thumbs aligned and pointing down when you finish the move. Now just clasp the fingers and do the impossible. This is almost full proof; If you do it to one person and have them stand facing the same way as you, and to your left. Kind of like the old 360 arm-twist trick.

| EFFECT :
This is a breathtaking visual transposition as four aces vanish and then reappear under the 'leader ace'. You'll learn the stunning 'Pop out' move to produce the four aces to start. Then you'll slowly and visually vanish each Ace from its packet - one moment it's there, the next it isn't! Blink and you'll miss it! At the conclusion, the vanished aces just appear under the leader ace with a touch from your finger! This beautiful routine works well with a gambling patter or music, but it's so powerful you could give your vocal cords the afternoon off and let the magic just speak for itself!
TO CREATE :
Grandfather's Legacy : For this trick you will need 3 doublebacked cards. AD (ace of diamonds) with an indifferent card, AC with an indifferent card, and AH with an indifferent card, leave the Ace of spades normal. Now you need duplicates of the AD, AC, and AH (none of them double backed). Have the tricked aces and the ace of spades spread through out the deck ace-side down, and the normal AD, AC, and AH on the top of the deck face down.
Turn the deck face up and spread through the deck, skipping the first 10 card or so, so the audience doesn't know that you have 3 aces on top of the deck. Put the three tricked aces, ace-side up on the table with the normal AS, also face up. Then turn the deck face down again and deal three cards from the top of the deck face down onto each ace, the three top cards(aces) going onto the normal-ace-of-spades. Take the first pile with a tricked ace, spread the cards showing one face up ace. Square the pile and take one card from the top of the pile an put it on the bottom, don't misdirect, just do it. Make a magical gesture and turn the pile over showing that the ace has turned into a normal card. Then pick up the pile with the four aces, take one card from the top of the pile and place it on the bottom. Then turn that pile over and spread off the bottom card just showing the AS and the card that was on top. Repeat this for the remaining
piles.

When David Copperfield goes inside the first box there was a switch made, copperfield goes under the box and goes into the hollow stairs he then gets carried away inside the hollow stairs. A lookalike in shadow form pretends to walk through the first part of the wall, after he plays his part he gets inside the hollow base platform. By that time the assistance's pull the sheets away to show that he walked through the first part of the wall.  The stairs that copperfield is in is behind the camera boom as it makes a complete rotation over the wall. The assistants on the other side of the wall take the same stairs and put it next to the other plate form. The assistants climb the special stairs and hold up a small white sheet of cloth. It looks like David Copperfield is pushing his and and face through the cloth. The secret behind this action is that the person on the right is just controlling a pair of fake hands which he controls with his right-hand. The person on the left is just pushing a fake face through the cloth with his left-hand. The two assistants then drop the small sheet cloth and listen to the wall to see if David is all right. They then slowly roll down the sheets to cover the frame box up and make sure it is tucked in good, they go down the stairs to wait for copperfield to make his way through the second part of the wall. All he has to do now is get out of the hollow stairs and inside the box and watch his angles with the light. He then comes closer to the light so it looks like he is coming through the second part of the wall. He pulls the sheets away to reveal himself, the white cloth stays on the floor because it contains the props.

Floating Rose David Copperfield Secret Tricks
Effect :
You probably seen David Copperfield do dancing paper & floating rose in his TV special. You take a piece if paper, give form to it, and in you command the paper float in the air, it also move. You can do it with your hands in your back! After, you take the paper, give it the shape of a rose, and magically the rose float in the air. You set fire to the paper rose and it transform into a real rose.
Preparation :
You need to buy some "invisible thread." Take one single strand of the thread and attach two pieces of tape, one at each end. On one end wad it up into a ball. On the other end, attach to anything. You also need some flash paper with which to make the rose. You will need a real rose, concealed in your left pocket and a lighter.
Method :
First, Put the balled up tape end of the invisible thread in your mouth. Then make a rose out of the flash paper. Step back until the thread becomes tight (you can tell because the tape in your mouth will start to come out). Now place the paper rose on the thread, engaging it under one of the petals, and viola! You now are floating a paper rose! You can move it by simply moving your body. Now for the switch. Your body should be with the right side to the audience, and the left side hiding the rose. With your right hand, reach for a lighter (preferably a zippo) and light it. Bring it under the paper rose, but DO NOT ignite it. This is misdirection while your left hand grabs the real rose. With the rose in your hand, light the flash paper, and bring your left hand up to the same position as the paper rose. The appearance will be that the paper rose turned into a real rose! Take a bow, and throw the rose into the audience.
