Here's a great up close magic trick that doesn't require any complicated tricks or gadgets or gimmicks. You don't have to prepare anything, and it only requires a regular deck of cards. You don't even need to know how to shuffle to do this trick. It's based on pure mathematics, which means that it will work regardless who does it. Of course, the more you talk this up while you do it, the more entertaining it will be. You'll easily be able to impress anybody with this simple trick.

This the way the trick will seem to the soon to be mystified audience. You mention in passing that you've recently learned some black arts of psychic "pushing". You can place thoughts secretly in their mind. Of course, they don't believe you, and they ask for a demonstration, to which you happily oblige.

You pull out a regular deck of cards, and open up the cards so that only you can see the cards. You spend a considerable amount of psychic energy looking at the cards, and looking at your friend. Then you put the cards back into a regular stack, and tell the person to choose any two cards, without naming the suit. Like ten and three, or ace and six, for example.

Once they choose their two cards, you look through the deck, and show them that the two cards they chose are right next to each other. They will be amazed, and likely as you to do this trick again. You go through the motions of looking at the cards, and projecting the numbers into their heads. When they choose two more cards, they will again be right next to each other.

The reason this always works is due to sheer mathematical probability. Since they aren't naming the suit of the card, and only the number, there is about a ninety percent chance that any two cards they pick will be next to each other, since when they choose two cards, their actually choosing eight (two cards of four suits each). Just because of mathematical probability, any two cards they choose will really be eight cards, and the chance of being next to each other is about ninety percent.

Naturally, the more you talk a good game, the better. The more you concentrate on projecting thoughts into their mind, and go through the motions of psychic energy projection, the better. If you want you can make a friendly wager with them that you can accurately "project" the cards into to their head before the trick. Have fun with this.
