The Short Card

There are many different ways to discretely find a spectators card which has been lost in a deck of cards and allot of these ways use clever sleight of hand. This is an easy card trick and I will show you how to find a chosen card lost in a deck of cards with ease just by using this simple easy to make gimmick!

The Setup:

You Ask a spectator to choose a card from the deck, they look at the card, remember it and place it on-top of the deck. They then cut the deck into and put the bottom half of the deck on top so their card is now lost somewhere in the middle of the deck. They can do this as many times as they like or until they get sick! Once the spectator is happy that their card is lost in the deck you take the deck, riffle through them (see video) and immediately locate their card!

How it is done!

This is a great card trick hack which can be done on any deck of cards in under a minute and similar techniques were used by gamblers to cheat at cards. One of the easiest ways to find a card lost in a deck of cards is to use a key card. A key card is generally a card which you know, or are able to find the location of in a deck of cards. And if you discretely make the spectator place their card next to the “key card” then by locating the key card you can find the chosen card too! On of the best types of key cards i have personally found to use is a “short Card” this is a playing card which has been cut to be a couple of millimeters shorter than the rest of the deck.

Remember to round the corners too!

Comparison with another card

By having one short card in the deck you are able locate this card quite easily just by running your thumb up one end of the deck, and once you have found the “key car” you can then locate the spectators card. For a short demo please take a look at the video.
