Three Associates That Won’t Part

Here’s a great card trick that is incredibly simple to learn, yet nobody ever guess how it’s done. It does require a little bit of preparation, but it’s fairly simple and straightforward. This is an up close magic trick, so it’s best done with a small crowd, and you’ll need to choose on volunteer to help do the trick. You can only do this once, as once you do the trick, the preparation is kind of messed up, so be sure to have some other tricks up your sleeve.

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 lengthy allegory about how they are best friends, and always locate each other. Then embellish about how they were by some means estranged. Put one Jack on top of deck, one anywhere in the middle, and one on the bottom. Remember to make clear that Jacks of magical powers of reunion.

Then ask your helper to cut the deck once. After they cut the deck, tell some more tales about how the Jacks constantly 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, amazing 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 actually be two Jacks on top of the deck. And when you put one Jack on the bottom, and your helper cuts the deck, they’ll involuntarily 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 full 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 everybody that there are to be sure three Jacks, and go on with your fable 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 ruse again, but you run the risk of being detected, as they’ll be watching your hands much more closely. I’ve only been able to do this two or three times in a row before my spectators figured out what was going on. Nonetheless, this is a great trick to do if you’ve got a couple extra tricks up your sleeve, so to speak. Have fun.
