Easy Magic Trick : The Magnetic Hand

Effect:

In this mysterious easy magic trick, you somehow cause several playing cards to adhere to your hand as if it were a magnet. Unlike most card magic tricks, this one offers a visualeffect that doesn't rely on spectators selecting and memorizing a card.

Using the scissors, cut a flap into one of the playing cards, as shown in the accompanying image. You'll need to make sure that the flap can easily fold up and down.

Glue the card with the flap onto the back of another card of the same color. Make sure that you don’t glue the flap down onto the second card. The flap must remain free.

After the glue dries, you'll have a card with a flap in its back. You'll be able to move the flap into an "up" position, or lay it down so it's relatively flat.

With the secret flap up, you can pinch the flap between your middle and ring finger, and securely hold the card. This is the secret to the trick. Practice this for a bit - picking up and releasing the gimmicked playing card by pinching and letting go of the flap.

With your hand held palm up, show the cards and get the gimmicked card into your hand with the flap up. Grab the flap of the card by pinching it between your middle and ring fingers.
