Psychic Spelling Card Trick by SankeyMagic

Created by: SankeyMagic

The Psychic Spelling Card Trick is a close-up magic trick where the magician creates a seemingly psychic connection between a spectator's name and a playing card from a shuffled deck. The spectator shuffles and cuts the deck, and through a series of steps involving spelling out their name, the magician reveals their chosen card in a magical and impossible manner. This trick is perfect for performers looking for a simple yet powerful effect that involves the spectator directly.
