Learn cool card tricks
It’s almost time for kids to return to school and I’m betting that it’s right about now that you’re running out of things to keep them amused for those final few days — you’ve seen all the G-rated movies, been ten-pin bowling, or gone broke buying console games that they’re already bored of.
Well, I’ve dug up a site that might buy you some sanity and really get the kids interested. And all it will cost you is the price of a deck of cards.
It’s a site that teaches kids (and adults, too, for that matter) to do neat card tricks that they can amaze their friends with when it’s time to head back to school.
Card Trick Central is packed with card tricks sorted by the level of expertise required, each explained step by step. The tricks are user-generated and unfortunately aren’t illustrated, but the site is now only accepting new submissions of tricks with illustrations or video.
