Card tricks are a form of magic that involves manipulating a deck of playing cards to create illusions or surprises. These tricks can range from simple sleight-of-hand techniques to complex routines that require extensive practice. Magicians often use misdirection to keep the audience focused on one aspect while performing the trick elsewhere. Many card tricks rely on mathematical principles or psychological techniques to enhance the effect. Popular tricks include the classic card force, where a magician makes a spectator choose a specific card, and the ambitious card, where a chosen card repeatedly rises to the top of the deck. These tricks entertain and engage audiences of all ages.
