Easy Card Tricks – The Jedi Mind Trick Card Trick
Oh, the horror, the absolute pain. I know what you are going through — so many days and not a single new trick. The pain will now be quenched me dear easy card tricks fans. The time is yet again upon us to learn magic card tricks. So, get that pack of cards out, I know it’s kept close at hand by now, and let’s jump back into our easy card tricks series.
Today another blissfully easy one, again included in the kids magic tricks category, BUT this is also a street magic tricks category member – why, because you can do it on the street 
.
To the sounds of scotish bagpipes I now unveil, To YOU:
Easy Card Tricks
The Jedi Mind Trick Card Trick !
I know I don’t have to tell you again…BUT,
get that deck of cards out and follow along with me as I explain the trick. Seriously, you’ll understand it better and memorize it at the same time. My telekinetic powers will reach out to you from the screen and impress upon YOU the importance of this. Just do it. You’ll thank me later. !
Perform this trick to a single person at a time. It’s more effective that way.
Phase 1. Grab your deck, find all the 7’s and move them on top.
ex “Hey friend_name want me to prove that magic is real. Come over here and let me show you something.” – arrange cards as you’re saying this, or you can prepare ahead of time.
Personally, I like tricks I can do on the spot, so any preparation that must be done I am able to do in front of the audience — an audience can be just one person you know.
NOTE: Pretend you are taking out the jokers as you arrange the 7’s to the top.
Phase 2. Pretend to shuffle the cards. Keep the 7’s on top though.
ex “First off. Clear your mind, make it a blank slate. I know it won’t be hard for You.”
NOTE: You can do this shuffle by holding the pack in your left hand, grabbing cards from the bottom with the right and mashing them into the middle. TIP: You can make him/her close his/her eyes here.
Phase 3. Give the four sevens on top of the deck to the volunteer — by know he won’t have a clue that you have arranged them.
ex: “Take these cards. I have impregnated them with some of my awareness so that they may sense your mind. Do not look at them, just hold them close to your heart.”
NOTE: blow on the cards before you hand them over (for added effect) and also fan them out when he/she places them over his/her heart.
Phase 4. Inform that you are now going to ask a series of questions and that these should be answered as fast as possible — this is the key of our little mind trick
ex: “I will now probe your mind with a series of questions. Answer them fast, one after the other. Ready? Let’s go.”
Phase 5. Ask these questions fast, one after the other.
ex: “What is 1 plus 1?” — the trickee will answer 3 (kidding, he’ll say 2)
“What is 2 plus 2?” — 4
“What is 4 plus 4?” — 8
“What is 8 plus 8?” — 16
“A number between 12 and 5?” — over 90% of people will say 7
Phase 6. When they say 7 take the phaned out 7’s and show them to him/her.
NOTE: If they don’t say 7 tell them: “You have a mind that is too embeded in the physical world and it has lost it’s magical sensitivities. BUT wait, let me try something else with you” and move on to a different trick.
Phase 7. Look at them silently and let the trick sink in.
Phase 8. Move on to another trick. Don’t show them how this is done. We need a little magic in our lives even if we know it isn’t true.
ex: “Your mind is wise to the ways of the future. But will it be so in this next case?” — introduce next trick. Don’t know a next trick? Check out this one: Easy Card Tricks – The High School Party Card Trick
This is it!
All the magical best,
Damian

I think this falls under street magic tricks.
Sounds very David Blaine-ish to me.

I have a trick for you…
This trick can seem quite amazing, but it’s really, really easy.
You have 3 people select a card from the deck. You collect all 3 cards from them, without looking. You then guess the first card and look at the first card to check, if you are right. You do same for the other two cards.
All you need is a secret assistant among the crowd. You explain him the whole trick and make sure no one knows you two are working together.
Your assistant should make sure his card is on the bottom.
When you start “mind-reading”, you first tell your secret assistants card (which you agreed on earlier), then look at the first card, “to check if you guessed it right”. Now that you know another card, you just continue with the other two cards.
If you don’t have a deck of cards ready, you can do it by asking them to write down, what’s on their minds on 3 pieces of paper.
The success really depends on the acting skills of your “assistant” (and his dis/honesty to his friends). I usually pick the biggest skeptic in the group – better to have him on my side.

Great trick, it is based on mind “laziness” that we all get caught up in (ie when we choose the number 7 90% of the time. People use these tactics in sales, believe it or not.
