Magic Lessons #49 – CSI Magic Trick

Magic Lessons #49 – CSI Magic Trick

Julian Card Fan - CSI Magic TrickThe CSI magic trick is a fun trick that features the Jack of Hearts. The idea for this magic trick came from a book titled ‘Edwin’s Finale’ by Edwin Hooper. He had a trick called ‘Rhyme a Ree’ which was his take on the classic story deck, most widely known as Sam the Bellhop.

I messed around with the concertina deck that Edwin used in his magic trick and I was thinking of other uses for the cards instead of remaining just playing cards. When Edwin held the cards it looked like a detective holding his badge when identifying himself. I then thought the King, Queen and Jack cards could be used as a series of mug shots. My initial idea was to have a card chosen from the deck, and then show a series of the ‘mug shot’ cards while saying “does he look familiar? What about her? What about this one?” ect.

This Made Me Remember This Old Nursery Rhyme:

The Queen of Hearts,
She made some tarts
All on a summer’s day.

The Jack of Hearts,
He stole the tarts
And took them clean away.

The King of Hearts,
Called for the tarts
And beat the Jack full sore.

The Jack of Hearts,
Brought back the tarts
And vowed he’d steal no more.

All of these concepts came together and the idea for this trick was born. I hope you enjoy it.

Here’s The Script Outline for the CSI Magic Trick:

It’s a busy day in the big city. Lots of shady characters going about their business. Right in front of you a crime is comitted and you are the only witness.

You yelled STOP ..
You yelled STOP ..
You yell …Thank You

Jail Card - CSI Magic TrickYou startled the culprit and managed to catch a glimpse of him as he hot-footed it outta there.

Next thing you’re at home and there’s a tap on the door which you think to yourself that’s a strange place to put a tap! You open the door and standing there is a detective who flashes his badge at you. It looks official. It says CSI – Card Scene Investigator.

He says they’ve got a suspect but they need you to identify him. He shows you a mugshot. Is this the man you saw and yelled stop to? He compliments you on your eyesight .. and your magic skills then proceeds to tell you the whole sorry saga …

The Queen of Hearts,
She made some tarts
All on a summer’s day.

The Jack of Hearts,
He stole the tarts
And took them clean away.

The King of Hearts,
Called for the tarts
And beat the Jack full sore.

The Jack of Hearts,
Brought back the tarts
And vowed he’d steal no more.

You know why? Because the judge gave him 5 to 10 and he’s banged up in the big house.

So the moral of this story is no matter how appealing a pastry is, lie down and wait for the feeling to pass. Case CLOSED!
