Hai Fooks, Fern here.
Want to know everything about how to do card tricks? Well, in that case you're at the right spot. I will reveal all the tricks I know, the coming time. So keep posted and read what I know. The first trick I have learned blew me away. I will tell you about is and also explain how to do this. I was stunned the first time, that why I still keep going on with learning tricks and perfect them.
But first I tell you about me! And you're wondering WHY? Just because when you understand the way I am and the way I think, maybe.. and I say MAYBE, you can invent some more card tricks on your own. But anyway, let's start.
When I was young (and that's some looong time ago, haha) I played a lot outside. Playing football, hide and seek and other games with other kids. But in the summer, most of my friends went on holiday and I had nothing to to. I was bored. So what to do instead? Computers wer'nt invented yet so, I had an major problem. I tried to think about doing something no one else did. Then my father came with a excellent idea.
My father, who is in heaven now, (god bless his soul) and learn me a lot very good things. One of them is telling me how to do card tricks. He told me that when I was bored I could train to do card trick so when everybody is coming back from their holidays I could show them. So I did. I took his advice and trained a lot. Every detail of the card trick had to be perfect.
This perfection is essential to do good tricks. WHY?? Well it so simple. If you don't, your audience will not get the magic they expect. And even worse, they see how you do your trick and all the magic is gone. So every detail has to be in place before you show your trick for the big audience. So practice, practice and again practice, till you are convinced you have the card trick completely in your fingers. Try to use a mirror, so you can see what your audience sees. This is the only way you will get good, and have the great feeling when you perform.
A famous magician once said "It's better to know how to perform one magic trick really well than to know a hundred." And he is right.
So I did, practice the whole summer for the card trick and other magic I came up with. The biggest obstacle to take was how to get great tricks. I did not know any, so I could practice whole day, but if you have not trick you got a problem. So my lovely father came up with a very simple but excellent card trick. And he explained to me how to do card tricks especially this trick.
How to do card tricks. My first excellent trick I have learned
He laid out 12 cards on the table. He used 6 red and 6 black cards, only numbers. Then he asked me to secretly pick a random black card. The cards represent a map of buildings where you can hide. Every building has a color (black or red stones), a name (harts, diamonds, clubs of spades) and a number (number representing on the card).
Then he told me a story about a thief who stole some jewelry out of a store. It was a big bag full of diamonds, gold and a very rare opal. In total worth more then a million dollars. I was the thief and was hiding in the building I had chosen myself (the card of my choice). The police was informed about the breaking an so they were looking for me. I was afraid so my father told me that I had to change my hidingplace otherwise the police would find me. I had to change to the nearest red building up or down. So I did. I decided to go down, so i went down to the nearest red building (I went down to the nearest red card).
Then the police came in the neighborhood of my building. The SWAT team was running around. Then were looking for me. I had a problem because they would catch me. But because I was very smart and experienced, I listened very good and could hear some commands that were given. They have to look in every red building first. So my father told me that I had to go to a black building. The nearest black one, I had to choose between left or right. I chose the nearest left black building (I went left to the nearest black card).
But the police was smarter then expected and knew how thiefs are moving when the run away. They go left, right, up or down because that the fastest way and this way the thief (so me to) has to be a minimum time outside the buildings. They expected me to move right,left,up or down. Like I already did. So know I had to do something else. I was risky but unexpected. I had to move diagonally this time. And go to a nearest red building because they just had checked all red buildings first. So I did, I went ti the nearest red building diagonally (I went diagonally to the nearest red card).
So at the and I was safe after all. I thought........ Some stupid policeman had to check all red buildings again, because he has lost his badge. And I was in an red building this time. So still In had to move one time. I had to move to the nearest black building up or down (went to the nearest black card up or down). So I did and in this building I hided my bag with all the gold and jewelry.
The only evidence there was is the map on the table. I used it to run away. So we had to destroy it. I had to remember in which building I hided the treasure (I had to remember the card I was know; in my case a spades six).
My father took all the cards and husseled them. No one could ever find the treasure except me. And I was wrong. My father looked me in the I and told me that he knew were to look. All the jewelry is in a black building with the number ....... SIX. And the name is SPADES!
I was stunned!!!! He knew where I was hiding. He knew my card!! This is great. This is magic in the pure form. So I ask my dad how to do card tricks and especially this one.
He explained to me the exact method of this trick. It's so simple and so powerful. No one will ever discover this by his own. And I will tell you this secret too. And am I doing this right now? NO, I'm sorry, not yet, but very soon.
Come back in a couple of day's and you can read the explanation of this trick.
Speaking/Reading you soon.
