How to Do Stage Magic Card Tricks

Have you ever wondered how magicians produce objects from thin air at will on stage? Today we are going to reveal this secret. A classic example is the decanter trick. A handkerchief is magically produced inside a glass container. The methodology behind is a thread tied to the handkerchief pulled rapidly to bring the handkerchief into view with a high speed. The method can be applied in many different magic tricks.

One way to modify the trick to apply it to different tricks is to use elastic chord instead of inelastic thread. The incredible Card Sword trick is a perfect example. The magician spring a deck of cards up into the air and he stab his sword through one of the cards in mid air and found that it is the spectator chosen one. The secret is that the card on the tip of the blade is not from the mid air. It was brought up there from a secret hidden trap door in the sword handle with an elastic chord.

We can see that the same principle is used to produce this card sword effect as the decanter trick, but very different effect and style of performance is created. An object is hidden in a secret place, and then pulled into the place for production with some force. The different is one uses thread and the other one uses elastic. The force applied to produce the card was stored up in the elastic. When it is released the potential energy transformed into kinetic energy and brought the card to the tip.

The point that makes this trick unique is that the force to bring up the object is applied before the trick begins instead of pulling while the production is required. You can also apply this principle to different props. Anything that has a long shape is usable. You may use a stick, a cane or a mop. This principle is also used on wearable props like production of a rose hidden under the armpit.

Why couldn’t the stretched elastic, or even the thread, be used to bring a rope coil to the finger-tips? Then the performer could calmly proceed about this business of cutting and restoring this rope, as if magicians invariably obtained the rope to be used merely by reaching into the air for it. Or the scissors? Note the variety of power applications evident already.

The force may be applied directly through an assistant or a pulling mechanism. Or it may be supplied indirectly by a mechanism which will conceal what you are really doing, like The Spider’s Web. The power may be stored up and the actual pull may be applied before the performance and held for later release. You are not restricted to the use of elastic for this. A tension spring or a coiled spring reel will do the work as well, if adapted to the specific application.
