However, they are designed so that you don’t have to be an expert in magic , so take heart and put them to the test on your next outing.
Self-discovered letter
RECOMMENDED: Who was Salvador Dalí
This trick is very simple to perform, it does not require memorizing letters, although it does have a bit of picaresque when it comes to doing it.
- Begin the trick by asking someone to pick a card from the corn and memorize it for a few seconds.
- At that point, turn your back on him with the excuse that you can’t see his card and put the top card of the deck on the bottom of the deck turned over.
- Stand up with the deck in hand and tell the volunteer to insert the card into the deck (if possible that he / she does not pick it up).
- Then spread the mallet . The only card that will be left face up is the one that has just been inserted into the deck.
* Note: The trick is that the deck is face up, but you hide it with the card you put changed at the beginning .

The tip-off letter
It is a trick very similar to the previous one, but it does not require hiding letters and it is a good way to get, for example, free drinks if you go out to party.
- Shuffle the cards first in front of whoever you want to do the trick.
- Ask him to choose a card without you looking at what it is, and memorize it.
- Split the deck in two , and memorize the last card in the deck (the one at the bottom).
- Tell him to put his card on top of one of the halves that you have cut , which will be the one corresponding to the top of the deck .
- Now, with the spectator’s card on top, you will put the other half, in which the card that you have previously memorized is located .
- You will only have to play some theater , pretending to pass the cards and telling him that you will detect the letter as soon as you touch it.
- Once you turn the “tip card” that was in the bottom that you have cut, you will know that the next card will be the spectator’s .
- You can even leave him more puzzled by turning more cards and telling him that the next card to turn will be his.
- You make the pretense of turning a wrong card, but instead turn the spectator’s card face down, which has been on the table for a long time.
