Rabbits' Magic Pocket
The biddle trick
For this trick, you can use any deck, which the spectator can shuffle.
Start by asking the spectator to choose a card and to remember it. You now have to control this card third from the top. You have 2 options :
- You can either do an overhand shuffle control : throw a small packet with the spectator's card on top, throw 2 more cards and in-jog. Shuffle the rest on top, and cut where you in-jogged.
- Or you can grab a pinky break under the 2-top cards and slide the card there.
Next, ask the spectator to cut the deck. They can keep the bottom half and you take the top one. Turn over 5 cards on the top.
For the rest of the trick, ask your spectator to not say anything.
Take the deck in your dominant hand in a biddle grip (thumb on the bottom and middle finger on top). Peel off the top card with your thumb in your non-dominant hand and show it. Repeat this for the 5 cards, while making sure the cards you already have in your second hand go beneath the deck.
Warning
While you're peeling the spectator's card (the third one) grab a pinky break. When you peel the fourth one, ditch this card on the bottom of the deck using the pinky break.
That's why you have to go under the deck with your hand everytime, to make the ditching less suspicious.
Give the rest of the deck to the spectator.
Grab the 4 cards in a biddle grip like earlier. Use the same trick (grab a break on the second card and ditching it) to count the cards and make it seems you have 5 of them.
Wave these cards and riffle them if you want. Show the spectator you only have 4 cards. When they think their card has disappeared, make them look at the deck.
The one card facing a different direction is their selected card.
