The card trick with the KICKER ENDING! - Beginner Magic Tutorial

YO! Today I'm bringing you a tutorial on some beginner card magic! This routine is most commonly known as Color Monte, otherwise known as "this and that" card trick but has been adapted in many ways with different kicker endings. I'm going to teach you the basic sleights and moves as well as a short routine but it's up to you to make it your own! Have fun!

What should the kicker ending card be?!

[Herminationstation]

Ok, so I've been working on patter while also practicing the routine for a bit and I think I've got it pretty well down. I'm definitely going to use it in dnd somehow, because my patter is:
Hidden card: King of hearts
Money card: queen of hearts
I tell the story of a queen, who was kidnapped by her jesters (the jokers) when they got fed up of being laughed at.
Showing all jokers: People searched high, people searched low and people even searched in between, but the queen was nowhere to be found.
Until a brave knight set out to finish this quest others could not.
Showing all queens: He thought he found her, but the jesters had hatched a devious plan. "Can you be sure that's your queen, or is she up here? Or maybe in here?"
Doing the count and showing all jokers:
The knight looked closer and saw they were all jesters in disguise.
Flipping over the joker: So he dealt with the jesters,
Flipping over the queen: found the true queen and
Flipping over the king: they fell madly in love and he became her king.

Great trick!

This is one of my most popular tricks I perform. I use a joker, the ace of spades, and a blank card with $280 written on it (updated from the original to $20 a guess). My patter is a story about how I got hustled as a kid on a trip to New York. The spectators absolutely go nuts. I use it in walk-around, either as a stand-alone tick or as a closer for a set (with my patter it is kind of long, about 5 minutes for the whole routine). I am working on a modification where the reveal is a spectator's signed card from an earlier trick.

believe it or not, but this is the card trick that got me into magic. ive recently learned the name of this trick after over a year. but the tutorials i came across just wasnt something that looked as badass as i saw it. till i can across your tutorial and it was just so amazing

I DIED with that 2 girls 1 cup!!! Omg!!!!

Just performed this trick to neighbour's seven-year-old-know-it-all kid. I turned it into a story of a queen who lives in a tower and who's chased by an evil Joker but at the end is rescued by a valiant knight. She kept saying "I know what you did, I know what you did" all the way through the trick, so at the reveal I just asked "well, if this is the joker and this is the queen, then you must know who this is?" Her jaw literally dropped at the reveal.

Best. Effect. Ever.

Thank you so much for teaching this! Much joy will be had!

I've been doing the same routine for years, except I've been doing the "This n' That" routine.
Basically 3 blank cards with "This" "That" and "Other" written on them. The goal was to find "that card" among "this one and this one".

[Guigiggs]

"Maybe you want to talk about two girls and a cup" !?!?!? Really Chris You kill me on that one.

Great trick by the way, quick and easy ! I can't wait to pratice and show me friends this !

Been doing Colour Monte for years now, it was my go-to for a long time, but still so much fun.

Over the past 2 hours I've watched this video, slowed it down, and wrote down the steps. This is one of my favorite "easy" tricks.

[nikhilrana]

This was the best trick I learned from you. I absolutely love this. Everytime I show it to someone they go like wtf dude. I get crazy reactions. And I feel like a magician. This is my most practiced trick out of all.

PS - Yesterday we made a short film for a project based on this trick. A person plays with the devil with soul on the line.

Thnx for this trick bro

[Doctor_Logic]

Sweet trick. I managed to learn it pretty quickly. A slight modification I like to use is at the beginning when you show the spectator the Joker on the bottom, then ask if the Queen is on the top, or in the middle, but it's the Joker again, I leave the Joker in the middle then continue the trick as normal. This way when you reach the grand finale, the Ace of Spades is in the middle.

I also made up a counter strategy for spectators who know how double lifts work. Again at the beginning when you double lift the Queen and the Joker to the bottom, but the spectator guesses the Queen is in the middle, do the triple joker's, then tell the spectator the Queen has been hiding on top, and in the middle, then move the Queen to the top, then double lift the Queen and the Joker back to the bottom, and continue the trick as normal. However may need to make up a few more.

I’m learn this to propose to my girlfriend. Kicker card will ask to marry me :)

[notthatguy]

I know this is an older video but this is why I love magic. After watching the tutorial I know what you are doing and it still blows my mind when you do the trick again.

I’m a beginner magician and I learned this from the introduction on the card guard vid. It took me like 30 minutes just to realize what he was doing.






Probably should have just waited

Hey Chris, thanks so much for this routine! I love the endless possibilities that these moves can produce! I have practiced each move and have performed it twice so far and both times I get a great reaction from the final reveal of the ace of spades. Keep it up, you are inspiring so many of us out here and your creativity and instruction has allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and interact with strangers in a way I've never been able to. You are a hero!
