Free Magic Trick Spelling The Cards

This Free Magic trick is a clever self working trick however it will still baffle your audience

The effect of this Free magic Trick is as follows: You shuffle the deck and take the top thirteen cards. You hold the cards face down, and proceed to spell the first card name, Ace. 'A-C-E,' and for each letter,put one card under the packet of thirteen cards. You then flip over the next card (the fourth,) and it is an Ace. You repeat the process for each card number, Ace through King. At the end, you have all thirteen cards face up on the table, in sequential order.

Secret of this FREE Magic Trick :

Take out 13 cards from a deck, the cards do not have to be the same suit, but they do need to be thirteen cards from Ace to King. After you have these thirteen cards,place them in the following order, begin by placing the three face-up on the table. On top of that, place the eight then place the Seven, Ace, Queen, Six, Four, Two, Jack, King, Ten, Nine, and last of all Five. And then put these on top of the deck face down.

To perform this Free Magic Trick :

The trick almost works itself. To start, pretend to shuffle the cards, leaving the top thirteen untouched. You can do some false shuffles, or you can do real shuffles but you must keep the top 13 cards on top. After you shuffle, you can fan through the deck, and show every card, for the pre-arranged 13 cards don't look like they are arranged at all. Remove the top thirteen cards as a group and arrange them like a fan, so that your audience can see their faces. Square up the cards, and hold them face down.

Now it's time to start the spelling. When you spell out each card, do it in the following manner: let's say you're spelling the word ACE. Spell A, remove the top card and place it on the bottom. Then spell C, and remove the top card and place that on the bottom. Next spell E, remove this top card and place it on the bottom. Flip the new top card and show that it's an Ace, and place it on the table.

Continue in this manner until all the cards are face up on the table. ( You spell the cards in order: Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K).

A tip for this Free magic Trick is don't use cards all of the same suit. A mixed group of suits makes it seem less like the cards have been pre arranged.
