Step 1:

Magic Trick
-
Well one of the things, thanks I think she was great, but one of the things I promised you last show was I promised I would teach that card trick that I did at the end of last weeks show. So I'd like to take that opportunity to do this now. Now I know alot of you have been practicing some of the magic tricks I've been teaching you.
Actually, I was at the Acme the other day and somebody actually pulled out a magic trick that I showed right here on the show. So keep your eyes open. What we'll do is we'll take a moment to do the trick for you now, and when we come back from our break, I'll go ahead and teach you how to do it.

Trick Explained

So what we'll do, we'll do it for you guys here in our studio audience, we'll do it right down on the ground here. Let's see if we can pick this up on camera. If you can see, I brought with me five different cards, and you can play along right at home with this and it will work as home as well.
It's really neat right through your cable television. So, five different cards, I'd like you all to look at one of the cards, it doesn't matter what card it is. Just look at one, but don't tell the person next to you. You do the same thing at home, look at one of the cards and remember.

Step 3:
-
Pick A Card
-
Ok, does everyone have a card? Have one card in mind. Now, what I'll do is I'm going to read all of your minds, and figure out which card it was that you picked. Now I don't want you to see what I'm doing, so let me look. Oh, you know what, I've got it, One card I have that I know that you picked.
This is the card that you were thinking of. But you don't believe me do you. Well I'll tell you what, I'll leave that one in my pocket, but that leaves me with four cards left right? OK, if we got rid of one, so let me lay them out and tell me if you see your card. Is your card there? Of course not, I read your mind right here, and you too right at home.

The Trick Explained
-
So we'll take a break right now boys and girls, and when we get back, i'll teach you how I did that, and even better how you can do this at home with your own friends, and even your own grandmother. I she lives at home, you can do this right over the telephone lines. So we'll be right back with the magic of Feenisual. Thank you so much for bein gsuch an awesome audience, and when we come back and then one of the kids here today are going to make my rabbit Harvey appear themselves. So come on back and we'll se you in just a little bit.
Let me show you what we did. If you look inside my coat here, if I'll open it up for the camera here so can see. I have some cards hanging on a little hook right here. Now, all this is is basicly a large paperclip that's hanging in there, and it's just on a safety pin, so that's a safety pin onto my inside coat pocket, and there's four other cards inside this paperclip. Now the four cards are completely different than the five cards that are on the floor. They look alot alike, but they're not exactly the same, So, for instance, I have a five of clubs on the floor, but I have a five of spades here amoungst these cards. I have a two of diamonds, an eight of hearts, and a four of clubs here in my pocket, but none of these cards are any of the five cards that are layed on the floor.

Step 5:
-
Card Switch
-
So these are the switched cards, these are the ones i'm going to switch in in just a moment. Now, the way I did it, and of course nobody knows that they're in there, and you can do this underneih a table too if you don't want to put this on your jacket or coat pocket or anything like that, you can just have four different cards hidden underneath the table or underneath your case if you're doing a magic show. So you show the five cards to somebody and they think of any card at all, and then you pick them up, and here's what I did.
I'll show you the dirty work that I was doing, underneath my coat, but if you're doing this with a table, you coud do it underneath a table. I went like this remember, I went like that and thought and I said that i was looking a cards, that iId read your mind. What I was really doing was that I was dumping all five of these cards into my pocket and just retaining one and saying, oh, this is the one that you picked, I'm sure of it, and then I place it back inside my pocket.

Trick Completed
-
Now all I do, and I say but I'll prove it, and I say, I still have these four cards, I'll say I'll prove and you take out the four cards which do not match the cards inside my pocket but I take out the four cards, and I lay those down and I say sure enough, I must have read your mind as your card is no longer here. Kinda cool huh. It works everytime because there is no way that their card can be one of these four cards, because they don't match. Just a quick tip though is I would stay away from using any face cards, like don't use jokers, or aces, or espeially not kings, queens, and Jacks.
Try to use some of the number cards. It makes it a little easier because you don't want somebody to be able to see Hey, wait a second, they're not the same cards you put down. It's really impossible to see these five cards, and then later on put these four cards down and tell they that weren't all the same cards. you know what I mean? So that's a little easier, or more difficult to tell. But I you use face cards, they might be able to pick up on that. So, there's you rmagic trick for the week, I hope you practice it alot, and remember, even though I'm telling you how to do the secrets here on tv, don't tell anybody how we do our secrets.
