Six Card Repeat Trick

A clever trick that was featured by Harry Blackstone and many other famous performers. This routine can be worked on large stages or before small audiences with great success.

Basic effect: You have six playing cards in your hand, you throw away three of them and you'll still have six cards. Repeat this again and again to great comedic effect. 

If you use a funny story line like "I recently saw another magician do this trick where he showed Six single playing cards and then threw Three of them away. Yet, when he counted again, he still had SIX. He repeated this Three more times and Each Time he threw Three away, yet Six cards were always left". At the end, you say "I wonder how he did it?" 

Professional Tip: It is not necessary for your audience to see the Faces of the cards for this presentation to work at a distance. We suggest throwing the discarded cards in a box, hat or other container as you remove the three cards each time. If you use something like a "PopCorn Dye Box" (see elsewhere on this website for the prop) You can show all the discarded cards to have vanished at the end of the routine.

Supplied complete with mechanical cards and instructions.

Skill level: Intermediate. Suitable for ages 12 to adult.
