Business Card’s Magic to Delight or Annoy

So would you like to impress or as the title says “annoy” someone next time you show up your business card, here is a few tricks that would do just that, the difficult goes from novice to expert, but nothing that a little training wouldn’t do, this post originally posted at Freelance switch.

Make your card disappear

This one takes a little bit of skill and the right type of business card. I imagine cheapy cards you bought for $5 for 5000 cards would probably work best, since you need a bit of flex in the card to make it work correctly. If you are fortunate, clients will show you how they make your business card disappear simply by using a flick of the wrist and a rubbish bin.

The one finger quarter trick

We’ve probably all been in this situation before. We’ve been doing shots with a client and we’ve run out of cool things to talk about. He’re a super simple trick for wowing your client with your amazing ability to flick things. By they way, see if you can get to the end of the video without wanting to punch the magician in the face.

Levitating card trick

This trick requires a little bit of setup but it comes off looking pretty cool. Just make sure you don’t hand the client your “trick” card by accident.
Or, go ahead and give your client the trick card. And when he says “Ahhh I see how you did it”, slap him across the face for revealing “magician’s secrets.”

Select a card trick

This is a very simple trick that requires a tiny bit of setup. When you see how it’s done, you’ll feel like you want those 53 seconds of your life back.
Suspenders and clown pants are optional.
