Controls range in difficulty from complicated sleight of hand that allows a card to placed in a random position and brought to the desired one, to easy cuts that openly cut the deck as if to mix it, but actually brings the card to the desired position.

Tips and hints to help you become a successful magician:

Practice in front of a mirror so you can see the trick as your audience will.

Practice the "patter" as well as the trick. Figure out before hand what you want to say during the show. Good patter will help distract the audience just enough to keep them from guessing how you've pulled off your magical feats!

Resist the temptation to tell how the trick worked... keep them guessing and they'll be even more impressed with your show.

Never do the same trick more than once for the same audience. It makes it too easy for the audience to guess how it was done.

Control the seating arrangements... some of the tricks require that the people be looking straight at you. Have the audience remain seated throughout the show.

Wherever you can, borrow the objects from the audience... coins, pencils, napkins, etc. Borrowing from the audience makes it seem like the magician hasn't had time to do anything sneaky to the item. This makes everything seem more magical!
