Card trick 3 >> 4 friendly kings

Do the first 3 steps away from your audience or pre-prepared.
1) Take the four Kings out of the deck, and also two other cards.
2) Fan the four Kings out, and place the two other cards you selected behind the second King. Line them up so your audience cannot see the two other cards.
3) Show the Kings to the spectators.
4) Place the Kings (and the two secret cards) face down on the top of the deck.
5) Tell the audience that the four Kings are good friends, and they don't let anything get between them.
6) Place the top King on the bottom of the deck. You may show the audience this card.
7) Place the next card (not a King) into the center of the deck.
8) Repeat step 7.
9) Leave the fourth card on the top. You may show the audience that it is a King.
10) Explain that the Kings are real good friends and will soon be back together.
11) Cut the deck in the middle, and put the bottom half on the top.
12) Search the deck for the four Kings. They have been magically moved next to each other

Crad trick 2 >>> The three Amigos

Remove the four Jacks from the pack and place one Jack face down on the top of the pack.
Start the trick by presenting three Jacks and make up a story that they are three best buddies and couldnt stand being apart.Continue to rant on on how one day the three amigos were lost in the desert and the best way to seek help was to go in different directions.
The first one to get help was to come and get the others, so off they went in their different directions.Get the spectator to place one Jack on top of the pack , one Jack anywhere in the middle and the last Jack on the bottom of the pack.
Confirm with the spectator that he is happy that the Jacks are well separated, then get him to cut the pack ensuring that the bottom half of the pack is put on top of the other half .(This will bring the top and bottom jack together with the previously placed Jack)The cards are then turned face up from the top off the pack eventually turning over three Jacks together near the center to the spectators amazement.Conclude your story that in the end the friends were good to their word and all lived happy ever after.

Card trick 1 >> Mind Reading

The Magic Effect:12 cards are placed on the bar (using any red and black cards from the deck) in the same pattern you see in the diagram below here. You tell someone to secretly pick any BLACK card. After telling them to make several secret random moves, you are able to tell them which card they have moved to.

The Magic Secret:Tell your audience member to pick any black card. Tell them to next move UP or DOWN to the nearest RED card. Next, tell them to move LEFT or RIGHT to the nearest BLACK card. Next, tell them to move DIAGONALLY To the Nearest RED card. Finally, tell them to move UP or DOWN to the nearest BLACK card. If you follow these directions carefully, your audience member will always end up on the MIDDLE CARD ON THE BOTTOM ROW.
