If you guys want to learn about this nifty card trick read on! Just let me know if you want me to post more on here! :)

The Royalty Card Trick

1. Grab a deck of playing cards

2. Pull out all of Aces, Kings, Queens, and Jacks and set the rest of the deck aside (since you wont use that deck for the entire trick).

3. From left to right lay out Aces

4. In no color order whatsoever- lay out kings from left to right on top of the Aces.

5. Repeat for Queens and then Jacks.

6. You should now have 4 piles of 4 cards of 4 rows- Aces being on the top, King in the second row, Queen in the third, and the Jack being last. Spead them downward (Like in Solitare) neatly so that everyone can see that you have Ace, King, Queen, Jack in 4 piles.

7.. Tell your audience to remember that there's Aces, Kings, Queens, Jacks and color is not a factor, and now that you will do a little trick with them.

8 From your left pick up the pile, not messing up the way you have the cards organized, and all the cards should be facing up as well, and then stack the 2nd left pile on the 1st pile, repeat for the 3rd and 4th creating a "new" deck.

9. Tell your Audience that you will now cut the deck 3 times (for more excitement, ask for a volunteer to cut the deck for you)

10. Before cutting the deck, turn the now gathered up pile you have over so that all of the cards are now are facing down.

11. Set the deck down and just pick randomly anywhere (doesn't matter if it's only one card that you pick from the deck, oh and dont look at the card! lol) and set it on the right side of the deck. (2 piles now) and then take the deck (the one from the left) and put it on top of the 2nd pile that you cut.

12. Repeat for 2 more times.

13. After the cutting is compete, (a single deck again, all cards still facing down as they have been for the entire cutting) let the deck sit there and for the fun of it add the drama by tapping the deck and say a made up magic word.

14. Now ask the Audience with a mysterious smile, "What do you think will happen now?" as you carefully put one card (still facing down) one at a time from left to right. (4 piles)

15. you now will have 4 cards lying in 4 piles. Start over on the left with the second row of facing down cards.

16. Do the same for 3rd and the 4th row.

17. Take a look at everyone's expressions before grabbing the first left pile of 4 cards and turning over all of the cards while saying "and BEHOLD!" or whatever. move on to the 2nd pile of cards and so on and forth, and Volia! Now that's magic!
