What you will need: Clear tape, scissors, a regular deck of playing cards, and the card box.

As shown in the video, cut off a thin white piece from a card, making sure it’s the same width as the short end of a card. Then tape that piece to the front of another facedown card. When you hold these two pieces at a ninety-degree angle in your open palm, it creates the illusion that you are actually holding a full deck. Then place an additional card face down on top of the unit you have crafted. Next, slide the entire deck into the box facedown with the card box flap on the bottom. Close the lid and you are ready to perform!

Pro Tip: When you reveal the deck from inside the card box, spread out the cards face-up on the table to show your audience they are all different, mixed, and there’s nothing wrong with the deck in any way.
