How to do a David Blaine Card Trick

Alright, this is actually David Blaine trick but I am not very good of it, so bear with me. But here is how it goes.

You take the first kind of deck and flip it over and say, this is going to be your card, so your card the ace of spades and you hold it. And then I am going to flip over the next card and this card will be my card. So, the ace of clubs and then watch, what I am going to do is, I am going to take my card, I am going to put it, real fast, with your card and flip the back. But I did it so fast, so you can not see it, so watch. Here, I will to do it slow, this is what I am doing. Take my card and then I put it in there, I grab your card and I put your card back on top and then watch.

Both cards, neither of the aces are there, it is now the king and queen of hearts. Alright!

Alright, so this is how you do the trick, so you can probably do it better than me. I just started, I just learned it the other day. So what you need to do is first find the two aces and two cards that you wanted to end up being, so I choose the king of hearts and the queen of hearts.

What you do, you put one ace on top of those two cards and one at the bottom, so it is looks like this. You got an ace and two cards you want to end up being and then the next ace. So let me take that both cards, put them on top of your deck. And what you want to do is you want to make a pinky break, so you find the first four cards and, let us see where are they—first four cards here, and you put your pinky just under that back corner like that and hold. I recommend you hold to deck with the thumb at the sides so you block it. So you look at from the front or you look at it from the side, it is totally normal. But if you look at it from the back or this side, you see that giant pinky break right there.

So, what are you going to do is you flip all the top card, see this is your card which is the ace and you actually flip this over on this the top card and let them hold it and stay right, so when I flip over the next card and that would be mine.

But actually, you are not flipping over one card—you are flipping over three. That is why we have the pinky break and so then you put those back. So now, they think your card is the ace but really the top card is the queen. I am going to flip my cards real quick and you do that, and of course, you do that anything so you still have the queen. So watch, I will do it slow.

You put in the queen, you take their card and then you say, “Hold that tighter,” give them some sort of distraction about you going to push out the top card in the deck and you take their card, put them on top of the deck and grab that one and then you put that one back on their hands, so when they flip it over they have no aces. They do not have the two middle cards whatever you set up.

And that is how it is done. It is real easy, just takes a little practice and keeps them distracted by you switching the top card and that is what really all it takes.

Thanks for watching.
