You have probably seen many cool mentalism tricks on TV and on youtube. Here I'm explaining you how to do two popular tricks: Card Through Window and Card Switch Tricks.

1. Card Through Window

1. Start the trick near a big window, and make sure the person picking the card is facing away from the window.
2. Tell them to pick a card, and have them do the usual memorizing & putting it back in the deck.
3. Have them shuffle it, and "try" revealing their card a couple times, failing each time. (Put on a show like you're getting embarrassed & frustrated since you can't seem to find it. Hint: you don't even need to know what card they picked!)
4. Now's where the magic happens...=) Pretend like you're ticked off, and throw the deck against the window. (Make sure the cards are squared up...)
5. At this point, the card the person chose will already be stuck to the other side of the window, by your helper (since they could see the card that was chosen), using looped sticky tape or magician's wax. (Make sure the decks are identical so the person is completely fooled by this part!)
6. Also, be sure to tell the helper to stick the card on the inside of the window right when they see it, then casually walk away.)

2. Card Switch

Show the deck to the person you want to play the trick on. Then, show them the 6 of Clubs and the 9 of Spades, and ask them what cards they are. When they reply, ask them if they're sure. Next, hold up just one of these two cards, and ask them which one it is, then put it in the middle of the deck. Do the same thing with the second card.

Set the deck on a table, and tell them to tap it 3 times with their hand. Ask them if they have any magic dust. If they say no, pretend to sprinkle some on after reaching in your pocket. If they say yes, tell them they're crazy, because there's no such thing. (That usually gets a good laugh if there are other people around...)

Rub your hands together and blow on them. Make sure they get a little wet/moist from this!

Now, pick up the deck with your thumb on top, and your 4 fingers on the bottom, but don't squeeze it hard at all!

And now, swing the deck back and forth a couple times, then suddenly swing it into your other hand, holding onto the top & bottom card from the deck (the 6 of Spades & 9 of Clubs). This is why you need moist fingers, and to keep from squeezing the deck too hard.
