This card trick is called Serenade of the Kings. Make two piles of four cards. The first pile contains all kings, and we set these face down (except for the leader king in front) on the table in a star shape. The other pile contains four black spot cards that help us do our magic. Burying the kings into the black spot cards, one by one, shows that they disappear into the pile with a little twist and shake. Now we place the kings and black cards in four different piles of two, but once we pick...

Andy Field performs the top shot card trick in this video. To begin this card trick, first a spectator is needed to name a card, not pick a card (this instruction is repeated several times throughout the video to emphasize importance).

He snaps his fingers with the available hand, and the correct ca...
The 190 Helix cut is a pretty cool false cut that you can do with cards. When you cut the cards, the queen of hearts-which was there at the beginning-is somehow still on top after the cards seem to have been sufficiently cut. What you need to do is separate about ten cards from the top with your finger. Lock that in the opposite hand between the forefinger and thumb. Now put your ring finger down and flip the cards back. Do this and continue to rotate the stacks of cards so that the small pil...
