I was wondering if you guys had any easy tricks in mind that are good for a first trick to perform to someone. Perhaps in a casual setting, without a table. I like tricks that are easily deceptive and have kicker endings. If you have any in mind that would be great!
first trick?
I would go with a simple 4-aces production? There are many ways to do that and it keeps getting better and better, but I like the added flair with Chris Ramsay's version, on his channel so you can check that out...it's fairly easy (a little knacky).
There's one where you show the spectator 4 cards (SAY 4 aces) and maybe give them 2 red aces and keep the black ones. But with a snap of your fingers, you have the red aces, they have the black ones. A suave trick...on scamschool am sure.
And you can really have fun with that idea.
A classic twisting aces ? Maybe with a twist? 52 kards has an amazing version that will require a lot of practice to do well, but all good stuff requires practice, am sure you won't shy away from hardwork! There they show 4 kings and everytime even tho 2 of them are placed facing the other way in that 4 card packet, with just a twist all 4 kings face the same way. And you go on to do the same 2 MORE times till the fourth phase, where all 4 cards have, in your hands, transformed into 4 aces!
RRTCM has great ideas.
You know the one classic where you have 3 queens, you shake them and they become 3 jacks and you shake them again to have 1 queen and 1 jack to have the chosen card in between? I do the same with the joker.
This last one I won't recommend for an opener, I feel it has an 'end of show, bye-bye' feeling to it. Do it when you want to do just ONE quick effect.
