"The Fantastic Kent Cummins" shares the secret to one of his favorite card tricks, which he calls, "A Magic Spell!" You don't even have to take a card...just watch the magic!
At the end, Kent shares a bonus secret: how to do a "false cut," so that the audience thinks you cut the cards...but the order of the cards does not change.
If you have not viewed Kent's "Magic 101" lesson from MindBites, it is highly recommended that you do so before watching this, or any of the other magic lessons.

I love magic and love trying to do it for my friends! This is a great fun trick and it helped to learn a couple other random things too. It was well put together, easy to follow, and entertaining!

First of all, Kent is a great instructor. His instructions are easy to follow and he's great at explaining the way the trick works. He also keeps the information entertaining; even his instruction is a performance. The trick itself is simpler than it looks, which of course is the sign of a good magician. There is also a little bonus slight of hand at the end. I will definitely check out his other videos and I look forward to more.
