"FROM BOTTOM TO TOP" (#65)

"FROM BOTTOM TO TOP" (#65)

The top card of the deck is turned face up to the audience.
The card is once again turned face down and removed from the deck.
The magician now places this card into the middle of the deck and then squares the deck
The magician clicks his fingers and the card returns immediately to the top of the deck.

SECRET
This trick uses the principle of the double lift
When showing the top card actually perform a double lift and show the card that was really second from the top of the pack. In other words just grab TWO cards instead of one. This will work best if you slightly bend the two cards when you grab them so that they stay together---try it a few times !!

Then remove the actual top card and place it into the middle of the deck.
The already shown card is still on the top of the deck and can be revealed in any way that you wish.
Simple but effective.
