The magacian himself then places the card on top of the deck and makes sure everyone sees him/her do it.

the table should look like this now: | 1 | | 2 | | 4 | | 3 |-----------this is their card
Now pick up the cards face down in this order, 1, 2, 3, 4. You know have 4 cards in your hand theirs is not the bottom card but once again the card behind it. Do the slide method (gilde) one more time and put their card face down on the table. Show them the 3 remaining cards and ask them if any are theirs, they wont be so flip the face down card over and you just showed them their hidden card.

I Thought That Was Your Card
Effect: A person picks a card. You look through the deck, rearange it, and show bottom card. They say that isnt card so you put it on the table.

"What card is this? ... " At this point the performer replies:
"Right, and we will use this card to represent our friend Jack The Escape Artist. ... Using THE GLIDE (see description below), the performer lays down the second card from the bottom of the deck. ... The illusion is that the performer appears to lay down the Jack, when he actually is laying down the black number card that is above it in the stack. ... From the performers perspective, to show the bottom card(the Jack of Diamonds) to the audience, the performer must pick up the deck with the thumb on one side of the deck and the other four fingers on the other side. Show the bottom card to the audience while holding the deck in this manner. When it is time to lay down the Jack, the performer lowers the deck so that the bottom card is facing the table. Using his fingers to pull the bottom card back, the performer draws the now exposed black number card and lays it down on the table. With practice, this move can soon be performed undetected by viewers, and is a stepping stone to many more tricks. ... Now the performer places the bottom card (Jack) on top of the deck. ... Show the bottom card once again, and ask, "What color is this card? ... set the card down in the same manner that you set down the last card, but DO NOT PERFORM THE GLIDE THIS TIME.

Jumping Aces

Card Trick:

When you were pointing out which pile to put back to gather, you simply place a few (10 - 15) grainuals of salt on top of Bobs card. ... Now examine the deck, the place in the deck with the most distance between one card and the next is Bobs card. ... The spectator is then asked to flip the top card of each pile and to the spectators surprise the top cards are the three lost kings. ... Flip the top card, which is a king, and place it on the table. ... (The dealt pile contains the three kings at the bottom) The left over card(s) are placed to the side with the rest of the deck. ...
If you have been browsing around this site for a while, you have probably noticed that many of these tricks require you to *force* a card on to the victi-, spectator, but they dont tell you how to do this. ...
Use The Force:
First, take a look at the top card, A good time to do this is when you shuffle the cards at the start of the trick. If the spectator insists on shuffling it for you, let them and then take it back and shuffle it again quickly, glimpsing at the top card while youre at it. ... because while you are doing this you have slipped off the top card (which you have looked at already) with the thumb that was on the deck so that it is now on the bottom portion of the deck (make sure you dont look at the bottom part of the deck as you are doing this, it will make your participant watch it TOO closely).
Show the bottom card of the top portion(I know its confusing but bear with me)to them and explain how this is NOT your card since you can see it right there and it would make a lousy card trick if you use it. Instead, offer them the bottom part of the deck and let them take the top card of that (which is the card that you memorized at the start of the trick! ... )
Have them put the card back where ever they want to. ... Since you know their card, you can just pull it out whenever you want to. I personally like to force the card on them and then let THEM shuffle it as much as they want. ... You can also use this with many of the other tricks on this site.
