Card Tricks: This One Tops Them All

Sometimes this blog is just a vehicle for showcasing the amazing videos that populate YouTube but you may miss.

This is one of them.

Card tricks are fun—and simple ones can still amaze your audience, even if they can figure out how you did it. Some of my fondest memories as a parent are when my kids attempted to dazzle me with a card trick they learned at school or from a crazy uncle. It never mattered if they pulled it off---it was the idea of my little ones “taking the stage” and directing the action that was most amusing. If they did execute the trick successfully, it was all the more endearing.

Of course, there are real magicians, really wild card tricks and some incredible displays of sleight of hand.

Nothing in my experience can top this, however---take a look:
