This is a fantastic up close card trick that requires about two minutes of preparation. After that it works itself, so much that you can even have a volunteer do all the work. By the time you finish reading this, you’ll know exactly how to do this trick so you can go out and practice on your friends. And if you can tell a good story along with this trick, so much the better.

Here’s how the trick will look to your contacts. You start out with three Jacks spread out across a table. You make up some elongated fable about how they are best associates, and always discover each other. Then exaggerate about how they were one way or another estranged. Put one Jack on top of deck, one someplace in the center, and one on the bottom. Remember to explain that Jacks of magical powers of reunion.

Then ask your volunteer to cut the deck once. After they cut the deck, tell some more tales about how the Jacks always find each other no matter what happens. Then turn the deck over, and spread out the cards. Someplace in the middle, the three Jacks will be together once again, dramatic the crowd.

Here’s the secret. Before you begin, make sure to leave one Jack on top of the deck. That way, when you put one Jack on top, they’ll really be two Jacks on top of the deck. And when you put one Jack on the bottom, and your volunteer cuts the deck, they’ll inevitably be putting one Jack on top of two, so they will always be someplace in the deck.

Make sure when you do this to keep the focus on your fable, and use broad hand gestures and so on. Because the Jacks they find in the middle of the deck won’t be the same Jacks that were laid at the beginning of the trick. But if you only lay them out long enough to show everyone that there are indeed three Jacks, and keep on with your story for a couple of minutes after you place them in the deck, they will most likely quickly stop thinking about the accurate suits.

Of course, with some skillful hand maneuvers you can do this ploy again, but you run the risk of being detected, as they’ll be watching your hands much more directly. I’ve only been able to do this two or three times in a row before my viewers figured out what was going on. However, this is a great trick to do if you’ve got a couple supplementary tricks up your sleeve, so to speak. Have fun.
