Easy Card Tricks to Learn on Your Own: The High Stakes Poker Game Card Trick

Over the years I've seen many card tricks, some have been easy card tricks, some not so easy and more often than not these card tricks involve slide of hand. Slide of hand is a very impressive skill to master, but for some, it can take many hours of practice. If you are looking for a simple card trick that will leave your audience baffled and awed, then The High Stakes Poker Game Trick is the perfect card trick for you.

The coolest thing about this card trick is that you can actually perform the trick with a brand new deck of cards! My proudest moment was taking a brand new deck out of the wrapper and showing all my friends this trick. They couldn't believe their eyes! Now if you don't have a new deck handy it's completely fine, all you have to do is set up the cards like they are in a new deck.

How to Set Up the High Stakes Poker Game Card Trick:

If you have a brand new deck of cards, then take the cards out of the pack, get rid of the jokers and the other extra cards and then you are ready to begin the trick. If your deck is not new, separate the cards by suit. Once you have a pile for each suit, put the cards in order from 2 to Ace by each individual suit.

When you are done putting the cards in order you should have four piles (one for each suit) and you should be able to see the 2 facing you (the Ace will be on the bottom of the pile when you can see the cards, but the Ace will be on the top when the cards are face down). Once you have your four piles, put the piles in this order: Hearts - Diamonds - Clubs - Spades. When you are done, the card you should see on the very bottom of the deck is the two of spades.
