Thread: Tell me about card Sharp devices and techniques

I don't know much about card tricks - except for one pretty good one that has way too many steps to explain, but I'm pretty good at shuffling. I can sit and shuffle cards forever. Keeps my hands busy, especially when I'm frustrated about something. I can do the Hindu shuffle (either leaving the bottom stack down or shuffling them all correctly), the bridge, and one shuffle where you pull from both the top and bottom of the deck at the same time to mix them together. Don't know the name of it, though. I have a big book of magic tricks around here somewhere with a bunch of card tricks in it.

My favorite thing to do is the one-handed knuckle cut, though. It's really easy, but always gets a rise out of people when you just pull it out during a card game.



My best friend's dad did a trick on me not long ago where he spread the deck and just had me pick any card that I wanted and look at it. While I had it in my hand, he guessed exactly which card it was. Blew my mind. I still want to know how he did it. If you know that trick, please let me know how it's done.
