Are you ready to learn a great card trick? Well, grab a deck of cards, sit back and learn how to perform Travelers with magician Ryan Oakes.

a deck of cards

SOMETIMES WE USE MATERIALS THAT REQUIRE ADULT SUPERVISION…LIKE SCISSORS SO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE FRIENDS AND FAMILY AROUND WHENEVER YOU DO MAGIC TRICKS!!

  1. Take the four Jacks and three other random cards out of your deck.
  2. Place the deck face-down on the table. Hold the four Jacks face-up in your hand with your three random cards facing down beneath them. Hold the cards square so your audience can’t see them under the Jacks.
  3. Show your Jacks to the audience with your hand tilted towards them. Deal off the first Jack to show everyone, then turn it face down and place it underneath your stack with the random cards. Do the same with the other three Jacks so that all of your random cards are now on top. Your audience will think that you’ve shown them each card without noticing the extras.
  4. Place the stack face-down on top of your deck. Tell everyone you’re going to move your Jacks. You’ll actually be moving your three random cards.
  5. Take the top card and place it back in the deck near the bottom. Place your second random card in the middle of your deck, and your third towards the top.
  6. Show your fourth card, the first Jack, to the audience. Place it back on the deck, and tap it three times.
  7. Turn over the top four cards and the audience will think that all of the Jacks have returned to the top when they’ve actually never left!
