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 friends. You begin with three Jacks face up on the table. You make up some long story about how they are best friends, and always find each other. Tell some story about how they had to go their separate ways. Put one Jack on top, one someplace in the middle, and one on the bottom. Remember to explain that Jacks of magical powers of reunion.
Then ask your volunteer to cut the deck once. After they cut the deck, tell some more stories about how the Jacks always find each other no matter what happens. Turn over the deck, so the cards are face up, and spread them out. Somewhere in the middle, the three Jacks will be together once again, stunning the crowd.
Here's the trick. Make sure to leave one Jack on top of the deck that you don't show to anybody. 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 volunteer cuts the deck, they'll automatically 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 story, and use sweeping 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 indeed three Jacks, and continue with your story for a couple of minutes after you place them in the deck, they will most likely quickly forget the exact suits.
Naturally, if your hands are quick enough, and with enough good story telling, you can repeat this trick a couple of times, but be careful, as next time they'll watch your hands more carefully. I've only been able to do this two or three times in a row before my audience figured out what was going on. Nevertheless, this is a great trick to do if you've got a couple other tricks up your sleeve, so to speak. Have fun.
