Card Manipulation is a skillful technique used by performers, often in magic or sleight-of-hand acts, to control and change the position of playing cards without the audience noticing. This can involve shuffling, cutting, or revealing cards in a way that creates the illusion of randomness while the performer maintains control over the outcome. Practitioners of Card Manipulation use various methods, such as false shuffles and palming, to achieve their effects. The art requires extensive practice and precision, allowing magicians to entertain audiences by creating surprising and seemingly impossible card tricks.
