Trick:

The spectator takes one card and shows it to the audience. Then he puts it back in the deck, and he cuts the deck three times. The magician takes the deck and looks at the cards, also at the spectator eyes, because the eyes can tell many things, one begins the card! The magician takes one card from the deck and puts it on the table face down, and asks the spectator. Which is your card? The spectator says his card, then the magician tells him to turn the card on the table face up, the spectator does so and the card on the table is the spectator’s card.

Secret:

It is very easy, but you need to practice all the moves and expressions. In the deck, separate red cards from the black cards. Put the black cards on the red cards. Spread the cards in your hands and tell the spectator pick a card. You need spread just the black cards that are on the top of the deck, so the spectator will take a black card. Tell him to show the card to everybody, in this moment you put back the cards in your hands and spread them again but only the cards on the bottom that are red. The spectator puts his card back in the deck, so his card will be in any place in the red cards. Put the deck on the table and tell the spectator to cut the deck and completed it three times. Don’t worry nothing happens, because it is in a circle. Take the deck and look for the spectator’s card. It is the only black card in the red cards, so it is easy to know which his card is. You need to play up the situation. Watch the spectator’s eyes and tell him that the eyes will reveal the card. So, take his card and put it on the table face down. Ask him what is the card that he took, and when he say the card, ask him to turn over the card that is on the table, because you don’t want to touch it again. He will turn over the card, and it will be his card!

Video-flash for Internet

I am on the Internet almost 15 hour a day, and I try to learn something new everyday. Recently, I've starting learning how to upload videos onto the Internet because I think videos are a great support for building web sites and for sharing something with family and friends. It is not easy to create videos then upload them to the Internet on some sites. It takes a long time to prepare a video and it is a long process. Everything starts when you have an idea about what you want to do with the video on the Internet. Maybe you can use the video to help someone to learn something new, show an expression of your life or your art or just to put up something to see how your first video works. Anyway, a serious or fun video takes a long time to make. Let's say that you have an idea for a video that you want to make, then you film the situation, wherever it is -- wow, now you have the film, let's say 5 minutes. Now take simple software to edit the video. If you are not familiar with this software, it will take more time than what you are expecting, so learn a little about how you can edit your video with music, how to cut the mistakes, work with lighting, etc. Since the moment you started, time has passed quickly, right? What's next? Transfer your work into a file that works with Internet sites like YouTube, MacAfee, etc. Wow! It takes a long time to do that, right? One or two days? I don’t know, maybe less than two days, but still it takes time to do a simple video. Now I want to call your attention to this because most people think that putting a video up on the Internet for a non-professional person is really easy. Now can you imagine a professional video maker editing and making a video? Wow, it is a lot of work! Since I am working with videos and flash movements for web sites, I've learned that the Internet needs something new everyday and this work never stops!
