Slap the Card Magic Trick is brilliant. A card is chosen from the deck. It is then lost within the deck with shuffles, cuts and more shuffles. The deck of cards are then placed in a pile and you reveal the bottom card expecting it to be the chosen card, but it is not!!

You remove the card from the pile and show a different card, which also is not the chosen card; you repeat this a few times until you have a small pile to perform the final part of the trick.

The small pile of cards is gripped between your fingers then slapped leaving the chosen card and a surprised spectator.  Our thanks go to the wonderful magician @TagsMagic (please follow him on Twitter and subscribe to his YouTube channel.  He loves it when people follow him and subscribe to him) for showing us this trick and filming the explanation.

His method is sheer brilliance and worth practicing as the ending could be used in many other different tricks you may have. That sort of ending is called a Kicker and what a kicker it is; watch the video below for the trick and explanation.

Slap the Card Recap

This really is a classic trick.

It is worth noting that it is impromptu too and can be performed with any deck given to you. So let us quickly recap the trick and go through the moves.

• Get a spectator to pick a card from the deck
  
• Cut the deck into two piles and create a break under the bottom card of the first pile.
  
• Place the selected card on the second pile, turn it over and place the bottom card (of the first pile) onto the selected card and put the first pile under the second pile.
  
• Move the top two cards to the bottom via the method shown by Tags and then shuffle them keeping the cards at the bottom.
  
• Show the bottom card and perform the slide to remove the selected card and place it down on the table.
  
• Then perform the slide action with another five cards until you have a good pile of cards.
  
• Put that pile between your fingers and slap down on them leaving one card pinched between your fingers.
  
• Show the card and take the praise!!

Have a lot of fun performing this trick!!
