A Magic Trick for your Kid-The Card Hotel

A Magic Trick for your Kid-The Card Hotel

   In a mixture of cards, the kings, queens, jacks, and aces challenge the odds to find one another!

Instruments: A deck of cards.

Secret Steps: 

1. Remove all the face cards (kings, queens and jacks) and aces from the deck-these are the only cards you need.

2. Place the kings in a row and say, “All the kings decided to check into a hotel. And since they are nice kings, they decided to bring their wives, the queens.” Now place the queens on top of the kings, matching the suits.

3. Then say, “The queens were such devoted mothers; they did not want to leave their sons at home.” Place the jacks on top of the queens, matching the suits.

4. Now say, “Before they all went to bed, they decided to lock their doors.” Place the aces on top of the jacks, matching the suits.

5. Here is where the story gets interesting. Say, “But in the middle of the night, they all got mixed up.” Put all the stacks of cards together, one on top of the other. Turn the deck face down and ask your kid to cut it three times, being sure to put the deck back together after each cut.

6. When it is done, say, “But somehow, come morning, everyone was back where he or she belonged.” Starting from the top of the pile, lay the cards out in four stacks facedown, putting one card in each pile until you are out of cards. Turn the piles over: All the kings will be together, and so will all the queens, jacks, and aces!

It is a simple trick but it looks like a magic.
