If you like simple to learn and pretty impressive card tricks, then you've come to the right place. You'll be able to perform this trick after only a few minutes practice. It does require a little bit of set up before you face your audience, so you can only do this trick once. This is popular with kids, as it doesn't require any high level sleight of hand skills.
This is what this illusion will appear to your happy audience. You take three Aces: Spades, Clubs, and Diamonds. You fan them out, showing them to the audience. After that, place them on top the stack of cards, and mix them up several times to make sure they have been sent to various locations throughout the deck.
You then ask a volunteer to come up and search for the Ace of Diamonds. They will search in vain, as they won't be able to find it. If you like, you can get another audience member to come up and look, but they too will be unsuccessful. Then you magically produce the Ace of Diamonds out of your hidden location. (Or your shoe, or under your hat, or wherever.)
Here's how to set the trick up. First find all the Aces. Then put the Ace of Diamonds in your pocket (or shoe or wherever) beforehand. Then place the other Aces on top of the deck. When you pull the three Aces off the top, and fan them out, make sure to hold the Ace of Hearts in the center. If you position both other cards on either side of the Ace of Hearts, it will look like the Ace of Diamonds to the audience.
How you word this is important. If you saying about the Ace of Diamonds beforehand, they'll be watching much more closely. If you begin only by picking out three Aces and naming them (Clubs, Spades, And Diamonds) they'll take your word for it.
A great way to do this is while you are mixing up the cards, tell some long convoluted story about the history of cards, and diamonds, and how they were always vanishing due to their metaphysical nature, or something else that you can make up on the spot. That way, when they start thinking about the Ace of Diamonds, it will already be hidden someplace in the deck, or so they think. Have fun with this trick.
