Last week, I was able to attend the Society of American Magicians meeting in Portland, OR. It was their Most Entertaining Card Trick contest night.
It started with John doing a prediction that played like an invisible deck, but was a very different method!
Michael did a version of Fly Cards, where cards with pictures of flies moved around and ended with the pictures of the flies being smashed.
Vinod did a routine where the cards were shuffled by a spectator and they colors ended up separating into piles of red and black cards.
Jin did a do as I do routine where at the end he and a spectator both selected the same card!
Mel is a card trick with 3 piles of cards where a selected card jumped from pile to pile!
And the final contestant Larry did a trick where aces turned to jokers and back to aces!
The winner by popular vote was Jin!
It was fun to see all the different styles of performing card tricks!
