 Card Trick Number Two :

Take a toothpick and cut it to the same width as that of the shorter side of a card. Insert it into the hem of a handkerchief ensuring that it will not fall out.

Now, spread a deck of cards onto a table. Put the handkerchief on top of the cards with the side with the toothpick facing down. With your thumb and finger, pick up the toothpick and pretend and say that now you are picking up one card.

Everyone will think that it is one card that you are picking as the edges of the toothpick will resemble a card. Then just shake the handkerchief and say some magic words to make the 'card' disappear. And show everyone that there is no card underneath it.
