Jamie Brown Is NOT Rich (2 page)

The best things he teaches me, though, are the card tricks, and especially the back of the pants trick, even though I can never get it right.

1. Double
up on two cards (in this example, the 2 of hearts). Have one in the pack.

2. Take
the spare card and secretly slip it in your target’s pocket.

3. Make
sure your card is on top of the pack. Then tell everyone you will attempt an incredible card trick!

4. Tell
your target to take the top card, look at it, then replace it into the pack.

5. Shuffle
the cards thoroughly, then look through and select any random card. (In this example, the 5 of spades.) Ask ‘Is this your card?’

6. Pretend
to be upset when everyone says you suck, then tell your target to check his back pocket.

7. Accept
everyone’s compliments!!!

Oooooh, I love this one too.

1. Secretly
check the bottom card (in this example, the 3 of clubs).

2. Cut
the cards in half (move cards off the top to the side – don’t use a knife).

3. Have
your target select a card off either pile, look at it and don’t tell you.

4. Have
them replace their card (in this example, the ace of spades) on the pile that doesn’t have your card at the bottom.

5. Place
the pile with your card on top of the other pile.
