Of all the different kinds of magic tricks that you can find, the easiest and most varied ones are those that use cards. The number of magic card tricks available reaches the thousands; any of them can be taken for granted. Card tricks are a dime a dozen, so it takes a good magician to make a card trick an unforgettable one. As with any magic trick, things always start with the magician. Here are some tips for would-be magic card trick aficionados.

Pace Yourself

Cards can be quite tricky, and the first step is establishing a pace that makes card dealing seem effortless in the eyes of your audience. The only thing that gives a good card trick away is if you break the rhythm of the routine, which is most probably the part where your sleight-of-hand action is done. Practice in front of a mirror as fast or as slow as you can, trying to get a feel of how you move the cards in order to perfect the illusion.

Practice Makes Perfect

Never practice in front of an audience until you have mastered the trick to the letter. The process of creating magic is a mental one, and you need to know the way a trick is done, step-by-step. Once this is accomplished, your hands will follow until your illusion is seamless.

Try It Out

The real test begins in front of a discriminating audience. Being watched can be quite unnerving, but this is the only way to see if what you have practiced really works. You have to get a feel for the audience, as well as what words or spiels to use in order to get them under your spell. Try it out. Getting their feedback will be valuable in your next performance. After the initial thrill, the rest, as they say, is history.

Bridge Card

Bridge books are available on every possible topic of the game of bridge. If you play the game you will understand immediately that you likely are an addict, or at the very least on your way to being one. The fabulous fact about playing bridge is that it can be thoroughly enjoyed at any and all levels of ability.

So I will address the addict in the first instance. The addict will certainly have to play the game regularly in order to avoid serious bridge withdrawal. The addict will also have a bridge partner with whom the joy of the game is explored, discussed and disputed. One of the partnership pleasures is working together to develop a successful bridge partnership.

If you find yourself getting more and more serious about the game of bridge you will quite naturally gravitate towards some of the books that exist which will suit your desires and needs.

If you need help in fine tuning your card play you will find many volumes of expert advice and opinion. You will obviously try some of it out at the next game and just hope that your game will improve so dramatically that your partner will be most impressed with your card playing prowess.

If instead you feel that your comprehension of your agreed bidding system is lacking the expertize you would desire, you will find a host of bridge books devoted to the system you have chosen. The number and variety of systems is far too great to try to produce a comprehensive list here. However, there are certain systems which have fairly universal appeal and likely you and your most recent partner have explored one or more of them. Just to mention a few of the more popular ones about which volumes have been written, I would list ’standard American yellow card (SAYC)’, Acol, Goren, Two over One (2/1), Precision and variations which are often referred to as ’short club’, ‘better minor’, ‘5 card majors’, ‘weak no trump’ and on and on.

If any of these systems vaguely refer to what you and your partner are presently using, you will find many books which are devoted to exploring the finer points of each of these systems.

This, of course, does not mean you have to follow any of the suggestions which will jump off the page at you. But, you will be able to see how the experts use the system you prefer. This will give you the chance to fine tune what you are presently playing with your present partner.

There really is no better way for the bridge player, at any level, to proceed to being a better player and consequently enjoy the game more than to regularly read bridge books and discover exciting things to try out with your partner at your next game. Some will fail and some will succeed, but all will be a great challenge and joy for you as you progress toward being the champion that you dream of becoming.
