The Hit Man (Instant Download) - This simple trick is tons of fun to perform. Your spectator holds a small stack of cards in her hand. With slap the stack falls to the table... all except her chosen card which she's now holding.
"Simple and fun to perform" -- Maxwell Murphy, Penguin Magic
The Effect Your spectator picks a card. You put the card back in the deck. Now you show the cards to your spectator one at a time asking her to look at the cards. You give her special instruction not to show any emotion when her card is shown. You're going to try to read through her expression and discover her card.
You show a few cards, and act as though her card was among the ones you showed. You place these cards in the spectator's hand and ask her to hold tight. When your spectator informs you that her card isn't in the stack you smack down at the cards... all cards fall to the table except the selected card which is left in her hand.

I started doing this trick years ago when I first started doing magic and it always got good reactions. As a beginner, it was one of the only tricks I did that people actually freaked out. The trick is easy to do but there are times when the trick doesn't work but that doesn't usually happen. If all the cards fall down, just say, "No, no, don't hold them like that" and just have them try again. They will think it's their fault, not theirs.
Adding impromptu tricks to your routine is the best way to go, and from my own experience, this is one of the best ones.

Easy to do but...

This trick is great and it's easy to do, but sometimes it doesn't work, and it's hard to explain yourself. However, when it does work, you get some pretty powerful reactions! If you're willing to take a risk, I'd say go for it for sure!

A perfect routine to add to your repetoire

I highly recommend this one. No set up, completely examinable, and easy perform. This is a beginner-level trick you'll undoubtly master in just a few hours, plus the effect it has on people is more chilling than it is suprising. Whacking the cards out of the spectators hand can be hit-or-miss, I've only done it successfully about 1:3 times, but even if you do knock all the cards out of their hand the spectator is still creeped out to see their selected card on the ground. People will seriously think you have voodoo magic or something. Awesome.

Impromptu!

Probably my favorite part about his trick is that it is impromptu, plus it has a mindbending effect. They think, "How the **** is that possible." If you want to buy an easy card trick, go with this. Even if you are a beginner, the slieght will be as easy as cake for you to pull off. A monkey could do this.
About this trick being impromptu, it goes well with the Classic Force (Which I have). If you look at the Classic Force's reviews, people will say it will not work 100% of the time. So, when it fails when you are practicing you have a beastly trick to cover it up with. Vice-Versa. If you get this trick, get the Classic force too. Perfect pair. It'll give you a reason to try and force a card on people everytime without feeling the ebarrasment when you Biff :)
There are many cool magic tricks on this website. And much of the really cool ones have some sort of set-up, or are for just it. The Hit Man is one of the less expensive tricks in the instant download section, but is one of the easy, amazing tricks to do. If you have been reading reviews all over this site for a good trick, I reccomend THIS ONE! ATC
