The San Diego Magic Shop offers an amazing collection of playing cards for magic tricks. So, here are some of the best card magic tricks you can learn and master using props from our magic shop.
The Ambitious Card Trick
Learning and understanding the Ambitious card trick is non-negotiable whether you are a novice or an experienced magician. Almost every magic book for beginners mentions this trick because of its versatility.
This is a simple magic trick in which the magician features a selected, signed card that appears repeatedly on top of the deck while being placed elsewhere. These routines generally have multiple phases, getting increasingly impossible before the magician finally concludes with a surprise ending. The trick ends with the selected card disappearing and emerging at an unpredictable location.
You can check out the Shim Cards 2-Pack by Kevin James and Mathew Knight’s Invisible Date from the magic shop San Diego to get started with the Ambitious Card trick.
The Triumph Card Trick
Triumph is another popular card magic trick for novice and beginner magicians. Its straightforward, simplistic approach and impactful outcome make it popular with most magicians.
The Triumph card trick is relatively simple, starting with the magician selecting a card and then mixing it into the deck. They will then turn half of all cards face up and shuffle them into the remaining face-down cards. This helps create a chaotic mess, with every card facing in different directions and confusing the audience.
The magician will then make a gesture to distract the audience and spread the cards. The magic here is that all the cards will magically face in one direction except for the card the spectator has selected earlier. To get started with this unique trick, you can check out the Guardians of the Galaxy Playing Cards by Theory11 and the Black Mirror project by David Jonathan.
The Three-Card Monte Trick
Also known as the Three Card Trick, the Three Card Monte started as a street scam. Conmen used this trick to make a fool of bystanders across different cities around the globe.
The methodology behind the Three Card Monte trick is relatively simple. You only need three cards. The first is the money card, which is generally the Queen of Spades or the Queen of Heart. The player will focus on following the other two face-down cards. In certain cases, the card trick entices the audience or victims to bet money.
However, the catch is that the magician uses the same sleight-of-hand skills to deceive the audience. Given its relationship to money, the Three Card Monte trick is also very popular among people willing to demonstrate their gambling skills.
