Four Robbers

What You Need:

  • Deck of cards

Instructions:

  1. Before performing the trick, take 4 random cards and place them at the top of the deck. Then take the 4 Jacks and place them underneath the 4 random cards.
  2. Then take the bundle of 8 cards in your hand, and show your audience the Jack, saying “Here are 4 robbers (the Jacks), and they are going to rob the bank (the deck of cards).”
  3. Then say “The 4 robbers landed on top of the bank in a helicopter.” (Place the stack of cards on top of the rest of the deck).
  4. Next say “The first robber goes to the first floor.” (Move the top card to the bottom).
  5. Then “The second robber goes to the second floor.” (Move the next card close to the bottom).
  6. Then “The third robber goes to the third floor.” (Move the following card closer to the top).
  7. Then “The fourth one went to the stairs of the fourth floor.” (Move this card just underneath the 4 Jacks).
  8. Now everyone thinks you have moved all the Jacks to inside the deck, but you really have moved the 4 random cards.
  9. Then “The robbers heard the cops coming so they rushed upstairs to escape.” Now show your audience the 4 Jacks at the top!
