Remember, the real magic lies in the details!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Preparing the trick<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>To perform the trick, you will need the deck of cards included in the set. Before starting the performance, it is worth familiarising yourself thoroughly with the mechanism of the card tricks (\u2018Trapeze\u2019), described in the enclosed printed instructions. Before each trick, ensure that all the cards in the deck are facing the same way.<\/li>\n<li>Remove both jokers from the deck. Divide the deck into two piles by suit: black (clubs, spades) and red (hearts, diamonds). Place them separately on the table. Then rotate the pile of black cards by 180 degrees. Finally, shuffle the entire deck as shown in the video.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Performance<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Ask a spectator to choose any card from the deck and memorise it well.<\/li>\n<li>While their attention is focused on the card, discreetly rotate the deck in your hands. Then ask them to slide their card back into the middle of the deck.<\/li>\n<li>At this point, the card chosen by the spectator will be face down relative to the other cards of the same suit. Shuffle the deck and tap it lightly on the table, then remove all the cards with slightly protruding edges. Once you have removed this set, you will notice that you are holding all the cards of one suit in your hand, whilst the other suit remains on the table. The spectator\u2019s card should be in the pile opposite to its suit \u2013 which will give the spectator a sense of true magic.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before you watch this video, have a look at the instructions or read the description below \u2014 they contain the secrets that will help you master the trick.
