by Mark David

Cool card tricks are simply astounding to watch and with so many card tricks available online it made a lot of performers job easier and here I have something that's more than just a trick but it's what made some of the card tricks possible to deliver. This magic behind the magic trick is called pinky break.

Pinky break is a trick employed by magicians to mark the spot in the card deck where the trick is being placed. This is one of the standard tricks that any aspiring magician must know and deliver well.

Prepare a deck of cards, hold them in your left hand employing the dealer's grip. Make sure that the deck is secured and sitting closer to the outer fingers.

With your little or pink finger placed at the back of the deck, separate with your pinky very slightly the part of the deck of cards where you need to have it mark and ease your little finger in it quickly.

After that, you need to hide where the deck breaks by pressing your thumb down on the edge and top part of the deck. When you look at the deck of cards, the slight separation will be visible to you but make sure that the other end of the deck closer to the audience must be held a little bit higher to hide the break.

Ta-da! now you have successfully mark the deck of cards with the crowd none the wiser.

Practice makes perfect so have fun and tell me what you think of this trick.
