How to perform a magic trick

Here’s a great trick to fool people
1. Before you perform the trick you must make a trick card. Cut a black King in half and glue it to the front of the ten of diamonds. Position it half way across the 10 and slightly tilted to the right
2. Next take 3 cards from the pack – your trick card, the 5 of hearts and the jack of clubs
3. Fan out the cards. Hide the jack behind the 5 of hearts.
4. Show the fan to your audience, close it and open face down.
5. Ask someone to pick out the King. They will probably pick the middle card thinking it is the King. It won't be the King; it will be the Jack.
