In the 37 years I’ve been teaching magic, many students hired me specifically to learn card tricks. Before meeting me, some of them didn’t know a spade from a club or how to properly:
- Remove the deck from its box
- Spread cards between the hands or on the table
- Cut, shuffle, or deal cards
These are some of the fundamental skills every aspiring card magician needs to learn and the topics I cover in my most recent video tutorial: Before You Do Card Tricks, Learn These 6 Things: A Beginner’s Tutorial on Basic Card Handling.
If you’ve always wanted to do card tricks and wondered where to start, the most important thing to remember is this: Before attempting any actual tricks, get your hands used to the cards by diligently practicing the skills above until you develop muscle memory for each of them.
