Here's an easy trick you can do!

Natural Sevens: Remove the four sevens from a deck of cards and lay them face down. Then take seven other cards and lay them face down. Don't let anyone see how many cards are in either pile. Fold up a slip of paper written with the words: "You will chose the seven pile." and place it by the cards. Tell someone to choose one of the piles and then to read the paper. No matter which pile is chosen, the written statement proves correct. One pile contains four sevens. The other pile contains seven cards. Don't repeat!

Remember, just knowing HOW a trick is done does NOT make that person a magician! You must know how to entertain your audience, make them laugh and enjoy your performance. Master Magician Bruce Black can teach you how to create magic that will be enjoyable and memorable! Call 719-282-3877 for more information!
