Cards from Mouth

Effect:

After producing cards from the air one by one, you need a good finish. This is one great finish to backpalming cards and producing them from thin air.

You point to your empty mouth and reach inside. Instantly a mouthful of cards pour out.

This is also a good finish to springing the cards from hand to hand.

Secret:

This is another great fun trick that keeps the audience in a good mood.

The mechanics of this trick are fairly simple, although the timing and misdirection are what is going to be the part you will need to focus on when you practice this.

Palm about 20-30 cards in your right hand. Leave this hand at your side. Do this when the attention is on something else, at the end of a previous trick, or after you have produced cards from thin air.

Point to your mouth with your left hand and open your eyes really big.

As you start to open your mouth, bring your right hand up to your face and simply push the cards about halfway into your mouth. Immediately let the cards spill out and use your left hand to grab them as they come pouring out.

**Warning for your Health** don't use anyone else's cards for this. First of all, they don't want their cards in your mouth. And more importantly, you don't know how many dirty and grimy hands have touched their cards. You don't want to make yourself sick. The two times I have done this effect at a restaurant where I do magic nightly (with my own cards) after working for a couple of hours. Many people have touched the cards, and I don't know why I put them into my mouth. Anyway, BOTH times, I was sick within a day or two afterward. Coincidence? I don't know, but it sure wasn't worth it enough to try it again to find out for sure. Yuck!
