Amazing Card Trick

Recently while stumbling through the vast internet, I found this video on Youtube of a card trick called "This 'n That"



Amazing huh? Well I think so. In fact I thought it was so amazing that I wanted to learn it as soon as the video was over. So I set out on my adventure to learn the Secrets of the This 'n That Card trick.

So after scouring the internet, and getting nowhere, I realized that the answer was in my Bookmarks, Wikihow. com. I don't know why I didn't check there first, but that doesn't matter.

I quickly found the "How to" Article about this card trick and was amazed on how simple it was! There are basically only two "Special Moves" you need to learn in order to do the trick effectively. I won't blow the magical secrets in this article, but if you want to ruin the magic for yourself by reading the wikihow article, go right ahead.

After only about a two whole days of practicing in front of the mirror and getting my story correct, I was quite proficient at performing the trick. Now it was time for the test subjects.
My first victim was my sister. I nailed all the trickery. She stared at me amazed for a second and then her only words were a playful "shut up". Then the second victim, My Brother. I didn't do quite as well that time in the beginning but the rest of the trick went off without a hitch. He too stared in amazement. His words were "I saw some of the stuff in the beginning but then later, I was thinking, 'Where did it go?!' "

Well it seems that now it is time to test this trick out on the streets where it was meant to be done. I have not had the chance to do this, but I am quite excited to see how I do, and also to see other people's reactions. If the reactions are even half as good as what some of David Blaine's (professional street magician) are, then I know I will not be disappointed.

So until then I will keep practicing this fun trick, and will try to remember to update as soon as I perform this trick on the streets, but until then. Keep it Random!
