A great card trick that tells a story needs to have a clear beginning, middle, and end. At the start, it sets up the situation, like introducing the cards as the 'cast' of the story. In the middle, there are 'plot twists' like cards changing positions unexpectedly. And at the end, there is a satisfying conclusion, like the revelation of a chosen card. Also, the use of card values and suits to convey meaning, like spades for mystery, helps in telling the story.

The connection between the actions and a narrative. If the card trick has actions that can be easily associated with a story, like the cards 'travelling' to different 'places' (hands or parts of the table), it tells a story.

Card Apprentice Daily Log

Card Apprentice Daily Log

Dalton Wyatt, a world-renowned scientist and inventor, is transmigrated into the body of a high school student, also named Dalton Wyatt, who had tragically committed suicide due to unfortunate circumstances and a complicated life. The enchanting world of cards he finds himself in is vastly different from Earth, yet eerily similar in certain aspects. Unlike the peaceful Earth, where humans fought only amongst themselves, this new world is plagued by dungeons and monsters. Here, humanity's survival hinges on battling these mythical and legendary creatures. Ordinary mortals lack the strength to stand against such formidable foes. Thankfully, a select few are blessed with the ability to harness their souls, manifest soul power, and become card apprentices—humanity’s last hope against extinction. Card apprentices are individuals who form contracts with grimoires, mystical artifacts that allow them to wield powerful and versatile cards to fend off monsters and conquer dungeons. A grimoire provides card apprentices with abilities such as card creation and card fusion. Most importantly, it enables them to unlock their full potential in card battles. While this world shares the concept of science with Earth, its focus is not on electronics or industrialization. Instead, cards replace the need for most technologies, fulfilling even the smallest of daily necessities. This world revolves entirely around the grimoire’s abilities, particularly card creation and card fusion. Transmigrated to a place where strength can be bought with money, Dr. Wyatt is forced to earn a living to ensure his survival. Fortunately, with his otherworldly knowledge and expertise, card creation comes naturally to him, setting him apart from other card apprentices. Dr. Wyatt crafts and sells perfect, powerful, and resourceful cards, steadily growing stronger in this monster-ridden world. --- "What did you say? Making good cards is hard? Bah!

The Great Genetic Era

“Old Tang, you activated speed-related Genetic Base Points. What’s the direction of those Base Points?” This question caused Tang Ting to have a melancholic expression. “It’s… Hand speed…” “And the right hand at that!” Xu Tui slipped onto a daze. Hand speed and the right hand. This image… Didn’t the teacher say that it was easier to activate the Base Points of the areas you use the most? “Old Tang, just what do you use your hands for?” “According to that explanation, did I activate the Genetic Base Points in my stomach because I’ve eaten 18 year’s worth of meals?” Cheng Mo, who was on his way to becoming a glutton, looked up and sighed. Xu Tui stroked his head, “Could it be because I’ve used my brain for 18 years?”

If you wish to undertake the book and appreciate the story, please read it up till chapter 300s to understand the sudden twist in chapter 100s. i will admit that during that time, I am still a young budding author and could have expressed the story better in the early hundred chapters. But I assure you the story development is worth it. ----------- Discord channel: https://discord.gg/KkUXzjTKf9 If you have some spare change, please buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/moloxiv

Let's say you want to do a card trick with a story about a hero's journey. Begin by picking out a card to be the hero, like a knight card. Start by having the knight alone in the deck. Then, introduce the 'enemies' which could be some spade cards. As you tell the story, use card sleights like false cuts to make it seem like the knight is facing challenges. For example, when the knight has to cross a 'river' (represented by some blue - backed cards), you can do a simple card slide to show the movement. Keep adding elements to the story and corresponding card moves until the hero reaches his goal, like getting to the top of the deck which is the 'castle' at the end of the journey.

There's a card trick where you use a deck to tell the story of a hero's journey. Take out the ace of spades (the hero). Begin by showing it alone. Then start adding cards to represent the challenges the hero faces. For example, you add a couple of low - numbered cards as minor obstacles. As you keep going, you might add face cards as more significant foes. And in the end, when the ace of spades is still there on top, it's like the hero has overcome all the difficulties in the story.
