The first trick I learned was where you put their card on the table with half the deck on top of a table, then you put the other half on the bottom of the table and the card ends up on top of the packet on the bottom.

i learned the sick aces trick from E when they were giving away 5 free tricks during celebracadabra
That's a good one, I use it sometimes. Usually as a lead-in for Dai Vernon's "Twisting the Aces."
As for myself, I learn t 2 different effects at the same time, so I cant really remember which one came first.
1. I can't remember the name but it's when you hold two ends of a rope in each hand, contort your arms in some way and when you swing the rope out, a knot appears in the middle of the rope. I think it's called Impossible Knot or something like that.
2. Also, I can't remember the name. But it's the one with a die and the two canisters. Learn t it when I was about 6-7 years old. One of the great effect that got me in to mentalism.
Wow. When I think about it, that was over 25 years ago.

My first effect I ever performed was a simple card force and then reading their mind. Played big, people were very amazed and it still amazes them.

Using the key card u spread the deck all over the table an have the spec point....yada yada yada....in the end 4 cards are randomly pointed to an all of them match.

The 21 card trick. You know, 3 packs of 7, 'your card is...' Blah blah blah
Worst trick in the world, but it inspired the best.

I learned my first about 10 years ago. I later found out it's a fantastic trick.
It's called Hitman on penguinmagic but I have a much different presentation than OZ.
It's also my most requested effect

Years ago, before I even knew what a DL was, I picked up a book called "Giant Book Of Card Tricks" by Bob Longe. The first real trick I learned was called "Easy Aces" from that book. I pretty much tossed out most of the effects because I was stupid and didn't know any better. I recently pulled the book back out to go through everything again. I'm kind of excited.

I wonder why so many people know that trick.....

My first trick I learned from my Dad or Grandpa... I can't remember... when I was like 7. It involved a sticker on your middle finger, and the edge of a table, throw your hand in the air and bring your finger back down to the edge of the table and WOW the sticker disappeared. Took me two months to figure out it was just a different finger. Oh well. The trick that got me interested in magic was a card trick were you have the K, Q, J, and A and you tell a story about them going to a hotel and being all put into different rooms than after multiple cuts they all end up in the right room. Kings together, Queens together, etc. Anyway that got me interested and then I bought Mark Wilsons Complete Guide to Magic and havent looked back.
