Like gamification, manipulation by priming could have positive applications. Ours, too. Let's nerd out together. Likewise, our results dovetail findings from choice blindness literature, illustrating that people often do not know the real reason for their choice. Read This.

As you grab the next top card, move up the deck as you place it back in, continuing the story. You can say that the second Jack went to take the money from the tellers, placing it in the middle of the deck. The third bank robber went a little higher up to steal the money in the vault. Show the top card as the last Jack.
Say that this Jack stays up on the roof to look out for a helicopter. You can show your audience this Jack as it is supposed to be on top of the deck. Note that this will be a different Jack than the one that would be on top if you truly moved the other three somewhere else in the deck. Reveal your four Jacks.
To finish the trick, explain how the Jack on the roof saw the police coming and radioed for his friends. Or, the Jack at the bottom saw the police down in the basement and ran up to the roof, taking his friends with him. As you do this, reveal the three other Jacks on top, saying that the Jacks have run up to the roof to escape. Obviously, you know the Jacks have been there the whole time, but the spectators will think the cards magically returned to the top after having been inserted into the bottom and middle of the deck.
Tell the story. This trick relies on some good storytelling. You can tell the story as if the Jacks are robbing a bank, or about how four robbers entered a house to rob different floors. Take the top three cards of the deck off one at a time, inserting them into the different levels as you tell your story. Tell the story dramatically. The more detail you provide concerning what the Jacks are looking for and what the robbers are planning to do with the cash, the more engaged your audience will be.
This trick can be performed with any set of face cards, not only Jacks. Method 3. Shuffle the deck thoroughly and memorize the bottom card. Feel free to cut the deck as well. At some point when you're squaring up the deck, sneak a peek at the bottom card and memorize it. If you let an audience member shuffle the deck, just take a quick look at the bottom card of the deck before moving on. Let your spectator choose any card. Fan out the deck slightly and ask your audience member to pick a card and memorize it.
Then, cut the deck from where the card was drawn and separate it into to two piles. If you are more advanced, you can perform a swing or false cut which gives the illusion of shuffling the deck without actually doing so. You can either cut the deck yourself, or have your audience member cut the deck once.
Now the bottom card you memorized is right on top of your spectator's chosen card. At this point, you may want to do a few shuffles, but if you do, make sure to remember where the two cards are so you don't mix them up. The more places you find to let your audience interact in your trick, the more the audience feels in control. This will make the reveal at the end of the trick more rewarding. Start dealing the cards out.
Deal your cards out in a row from one side of the table to the other. Don't stop when you see the card you memorized and your spectator's chosen card, which is the one right after yours. Keep dealing as if everything is normal. Deal out most of the deck except for the last several cards in this manner. If you stop when you do get to it, it will ruin the next parts of the trick. Start running your mouth. Magic tricks, especially this one, are enhanced when you tell a story.
You can even add a bit about how you made a lot of money in Vegas by knowing how to manipulate a deck of cards. Bet a dollar that the very next card you flip over will be the spectator's.
Because the spectator already saw the card go by, he might take the bet, thinking that you're about to turn over the final card in your hand. Flip over your spectator's card. Instead of flipping the next card in the deck over, hunt back through the pile of cards you've already turned over and find his card, which should be right next to the card you memorized. To really sell this move, pretend as if you're about to turn over the card in your hand before flipping over your spectator's card.
If you do mess up the trick, you may have to give your audience member the dollar you staked. Method 4. Have a spectator pick a card. Take a regular deck and fan out the cards for a spectator, asking her to pick a card. As your spectator picks the card and memorizes it, cut the deck. Have your spectator place the card on top of the cut and then stack the rest cards into a pinky break. Have the spectator place the card on the bottom half of the deck, keeping a pinky break between her card and the cards you're laying on top.
This way, you'll know where the card is. Cut the deck again. If you plan to shuffle any more, make sure that the top card stays there. Do a double lift. A double lift involves taking the top two cards off the top as if you only took one. It is an essential sleight-of-hand skill to learn if you want to perform magic card tricks.
Show your spectator the face of the card you just took off the deck in the double lift. As you say this, place both cards back on top of the deck. Sandwich your spectator's card. Place the top card which is the one your spectator originally picked on top of her hand, and have her then place her other hand over it. Tell your spectator to hold onto the card tightly, applying a good amount of pressure.
At this point, the card your spectator picked is sandwiched between her hands, but she will think it is the card you just showed her. This card is on top of the deck. Go looking for the card.
