Little Spade: A Tiny Prop for a Huge Laugh
 
What is the "Little Spade" magic card reveal?
The Little Spade is a hilarious, pocket-sized gag reveal designed to inject comedy and lightheartedness into your close-up card magic. It’s not a complex sleight-of-hand trick, but rather a comedy prop that turns a standard card revelation into a memorable double-pun moment. Created by CS Magic in the UK, it is perfect for walkabout, table-hopping, or casual performances.
 
How difficult is this trick to perform?
This reveal is incredibly easy to perform and is suitable for magicians of any skill level, from absolute beginners to working pros. If you can force a card (specifically the Two of Spades), you are ready to perform this right out of the box!
 
The Effect: A Hilarious Double-Pun Reveal
You start by forcing the Two of Spades on your spectator. Using your best mentalism skills, you slowly try to divine their chosen card. "It's a black card," you predict. They nod. "It's a number card, not a court card." Another nod. "And... I feel it is a very small card."
When they agree, you reach into your pocket, pull out a miniature card box, and say: "Well, if it’s a small card, it will fit inside here!"
You open the tiny box and produce a solid, black miniature metal spade. You ask: "Was it a small spade?"
While they are laughing at that hilarious pun, you pull out a custom mini card with a poop emoji printed on it, look them dead in the eye, and ask: "...Was it a number two?"

Pro Tip: We highly recommend keeping all the cards inside the miniature box when not in use to preserve its shape and durability.
