This powerful yet simple trick will be a great way to entertain the crowd and solidify your magical presence. You will convince them you have the strength of the gods and the magical abilities of Houdini with this simple yet crowd pleasing trick. It also works great as a lead in to a more difficult trick.

Now you\’ve got the whole crowd\’s attention. You explain that you have recently had a vision, and the ghost of Hercules has loaned you his incredible strength for a time. And that you have decided to use his borrowed strength to entertain the crowd rather than for personal gain. As you brag more and more, they become more and more suspicious. Surely you are making this up. You produce a pack of ordinary cards. Naturally, you shuffle them a couple of times, showing they are a normal deck of cards. You call on the strength of the gods one last time, and then easily tear the cards in half, throwing them in the air. The crowd is stunned, and you are a hero. The men will wish they were you, and the women will wish they were with you.

Of course, this is an illusion, and here\’s how to do it. The deck will need to be set up before hand, so that it looks normal to the untrained eye, but is much weaker so you can easily tear it in half. There are a couple ways to do this. The first way is to take a straight razor, and cut every other card halfway across. Make sure the cards are all lined up, so that the cuts are all in the same spot. They will shuffle the same, but with every other card pre cut, you can easily tear them.

Another way to prepare the deck is to heat the cards in an oven. They will become more brittle this way, and will be much easier to tear, but won\’t look any different. Additionally, you can take every other card, and fold it back and forth an number of times. Just make sure that each card has it\’s crease in the same spot, otherwise you won\’t be able to tear it.

This trick works best when you are in the middle of a few other card tricks, although you don\’t really need to do it that way. It would just appear strange if you were to suddenly talk about tearing a deck of cards in half, and then not be able to do any tricks afterwards. You\’re friends might think it a bit odd if you simply produced a deck of cards, tore them in half, and then started talking about sports or something.

And as with any other trick the way you build this up will have a significant impact on how impressed people will be. The more entertaining a story you can tell, the better response you\’ll get from the crowd. Mental energy, alien power, ghosts of magicians past are all great ways to add to the entertainment, and keep them from guessing the trick. For best results, fling the cards in the air after you\’ve torn them up. This will be much more impressive, and will be a great distraction for whatever the next trick is that you have up your sleeve. Have fun.

You can tell them you were hit by lighting, or a lamp fell in the bathtub while you were taking a bath or something. You skills are fairly new, so you are still working out the kinks. You can only repel small objects with the power of thought. You haven\’t yet learned how to lift up X-Wing fighters like Yoda.

You ask if somebody has a cigarette. Put the cigarette on the table, and begin to summon your newly found telekinetic skills. Hold your hand cupped behind the cigarette, and it will mysteriously roll toward you. You place both hands on either side of the cigarette, and it moves away from you. Drop your hands, and head, and command somebody to bring you a beer so you can recharge your mental powers. If you\’re lucky, you\’ll be three sheets to the wind without paying a dime.

Here\’s the secret. When you have your hand cupped behind the cigarette, simply blow into your hand. Your breath will swirl from your hand, and push the cigarette.

With the right set up, people will be looking at the cigarette and not your face.

It is a good idea to practice before hand, so you know exactly how to position your lips, and how to quickly blow without detection. Also make sure you aren\’t doing this in an area with any transient wind, like from an overhead fan or an open window. Like any other simple trick, this works best with a long, convoluted setup, and then quickly doing the trick and removing the prop. Be careful not to spend too much time \”in position\” than you have to. After a few practice sessions, you\’ll expertly be able to blow your breath without detection from others.

It goes without saying that the best place this works is in bars or parties, and when you are talking about something other than magic. Just covertly introduce the idea of you suddenly having psychic powers. Place the cigarette on the table in front of you, and get on with your patter for a while before you do the trick, that will increase their focus on the cigarette itself, and not you. A great way to cover yourself, is to act surprised every time the cigarette moves, as if you still can\’t believe your telekinetic powers. Have fun with this.
