Card Through Table

This trick requires a standard deck of poker cards!

Effect:

There are three stacks of cards face down on a table. The magician ask the spectator to pick a top card of any one pile, look at it and put it back where theygot it. The magician asks the spectator then how he wants the card hit, showing the spectator the different ways. He then moves the spectators card to another pile and picks up the remaining stacks and asks the spectator, then, how he wants his card hit. The magician then puts his stack under the table and hits the deck. Then you reveal the card that you hit throught the table.

Secret:

Take your deck of cards and make three small piles in the center of the table, leaving some cards in your hand. Ask the spectator to choose his/her card and put it back where they got it. (While they are choosing their card you then palm the top card of your deck) While asking the spectator how they want their card hit you place your card on top of theirs, first: as if you were smacking their card, then with a fist, and last: by tapping it with your finger tips. You then let them show you how they want it hit. Hit their card in that manner. Move, what is to be their card, the card you put on top of theirs to another pile. Pick the remaining two piles up, keeping their original pile on top. Again, ask them how they want their card hit( in the same manner as before, but without palming this time). Put the deck that you have been holding the whole time under the table, and hit their deck as they wanted. After hitting, show them their card ( off the top of the deck in your hand). They will be amused and in awe after seeing this trick performed.---it works everytime and can be done as a close up trick only with spectators to the side or in front of you.
