Jon’s Piano Trick Collection

Jon has a passion for curating, categorizing, and thematically organizing magic tricks. Here, he presents his latest creation focused on the piano trick.

What is the Piano Trick?

In this captivating performance, a spectator places their hands palm down on a table, mimicking a pianist’s position on a keyboard. Pairs of cards are then positioned between the spectator’s fingers to set the scene. These pairs are removed to create two equal piles, with one pile receiving an additional “odd” card. Without any dramatic gestures, the “odd” card mysteriously shifts to the other pile.
