Twisted Cards is an easy to perform card trick that will impress all but the most eagle-eyed of spectators. All you need is a standard pack of playing cards.
The Card Trick
Pick up the pack of cards and search for the 5 of diamonds and the 6 of hearts. Give the two cards to a member of the audience and ask them to replace the cards anywhere in the pack of cards.
Once the cards have been replaced, take the pack from the spectator and pretend to concentrate extremely carefully on the cards.
