Full of Spit

Hello again everybody. Today I'm going to show you a good way for a beginner, a novice who is not very good at manipulating cards to force a card to the top of the deck. Most magic tricks are done by getting a card to the top of the deck. So here's a pretty cool way of doing it. You start the trick by wetting your finger, licking your finger and wetting the bottom card. And you have a spectator pick a card. And, let's say the card is the Two of Spades. You put the card on top of the deck, and you cut the deck, putting the licked card, which is the bottom card, on top of it. Now, you hold the deck firmly together, just like this, and you don't even see a break. You hold the deck, and you can talk to the person, and they don't think there's anything going on, because the card is buried in the middle of the deck. But as you can see, the deck naturally splits. And there was the licked card. And here is their card, two of spades. You can see the card has actually slightly bended a little bit. So by doing this, the deck, after you hold it firmly together, it takes only about 30 seconds, and the deck splits. And now you've got their card on the top of the deck, and you can perform any trick you want. There are hundreds of different tricks you can perform once you get the card to the top of the deck. It's a really cool... Way of doing it if you're not really good at handling cards. Thank you very much. See you next time.
