How to Do the Mirror Image Card Trick

This particular type of self-working card trick is probably the simplest one that can be played. When played in front of the audience, it makes them feel that an image of a card has appeared on another card. All that it required is a placing a piece of mirror sheet along with any card that has been chosen. Since the mirror sheet has a sticky surface so when you place a selected card with it, it will seem to have formed an inverted image on the other card. It is advised that you should have the card prepared from the mirror sheet before playing the trick.

Things Required:

– Mirror Sheet
– Scissors
– Pen or pencil
