Simple Card Trick: Inseparable Sisters

Here is a card trick anyone can do. I love this kind of magic tricks as it doesn't require any sleigh of hand... this will work even with "slow fingers".

I should do a quick video of this simple trick but my cam decided to have "issues" so here is a written step-by-step instruction:

1. Tell you audience that you are going to find all 4 queens in the stack. As you are picking them out of the stack pick 2 extra cards together with the 2nd Queen so that these cards are underneath the 2nd Queen. Find the reminding 2 Queens and fan the cards out so that only the 4 Queens are visible (there are 2 extra cards hidden undeneath your second Q).

2. Show the Queens to your audience and then place them face down on the top of the deck. ( so that from top to bottom you have: Q, X, Y, Q, Q, Q, ...)

3. Now you can tell a story to you audience that Queens represent sisters that cannot bare to be separated and that they'll do anything to always be together. You can make the story more dramatic if you wish. Tell your audience that you are now going to separate the sisters.

4.Bring the top Queen to the bottom of the stack. Show them the bottom of the deck so they can see it's there.

5. Put the top card (the card No. 2 which is not a Queen) somewhere in the middle of the stack.

6. Repeat the step nr. 5 (now you are placing card No. 3 which again is not a Queen in the middle)

7. Pick the top card (the 2nd Queen) up, show it to the audience and place it back on top.

8. Tell your audience that the sisters are so distressed that they'll do anything to get back together.

9. Cut the deck in half and place the bottom half on the top.

10. Let someone from your audience search the deck. The sisters have magically found the way to be together again.

Try this trick, it's very easy to do.

Have a magical day!
