What are some easy card tricks to learn? Well, here's a pretty simple but effective magic trick that you might like to try. You can download a whole range of easy tricks from a good website that will be far more effective than this, but just to get you started and give you a taste for it...
Start with a pack of cards and make sure that you have a quick peek at the top card before you start. So you know what the top card is at the beginning. Now what you should do is to begin to flick through the cards casually and ask a member of your audience to tell you when to stop. Stop at that point and take of the top half of the deck from there. And here's the trick: slide this top half off quickly in a forwards direction, towards the member of the audience who is helping you; but as you do it, keep your thumb pressed on the top card (you can quickly lick your thumb first) and that will make the top card (the card you know) stay in place and land on top of the lower portion of the deck. The rest is easy..
Just ask your audience member to pick up the card from the top of the lower portion of the deck - the card they freely cut to at random (so they think!) and then look at it secretly and memorize it. You can then hand them the deck and ask them to put it in anywhere they want and give the cards a good shuffle. You can then reveal the card in any way you please - either by pretending to search for it through a spread or by turning it into a mental magic routine, asking them to concentrate hard on an image of the card whilst you read their mind or anything you like. It doesn't really matter because you secretly forced them to take the card that you wanted and so in any case you already know what it is!
That's an example of a card force that is used in lots of easy card tricks you can learn. Always make sure that you practice your tricks well first and never reveal the secret to anyone.
