Card tricks are a great way to impress your friends and family. They are also a fun way to pass the time and to challenge yourself. In this article, we will teach you how to do a simple card trick that will leave your audience amazed.

What You Will Need

Before we get started, you will need a deck of cards. You can purchase a deck of cards at any local store or online. Make sure that the deck is new and that all the cards are present.

Deck Of Cards

Step 1: Shuffle the Deck

The first step to any card trick is to shuffle the deck. This will ensure that the cards are in a random order and that there is no way to predict what cards will come up next.

Step 4: Place the Card Back in the Deck

Ask the volunteer to place the card back in the deck. After they have done so, shuffle the deck again. This will ensure that the card is lost in the shuffle.
