How to do magic tricks with cards

The fastest easiest one that i can teach you by keyboard writing is pretty much this: Place any card at the top Slightly bend the corner of the bottom card of the deck (preferably the same card repeatedly, because it is less likely to get confused over time), so that when the deck is cut, it is easy to find and relocate. preferably mark the bottom corner of a joker or something. cut the deck into half, put the other half over the first repeat, but only cut into halves not thirds(important) at some point, cut the deck so that the bent card is back at the bottom. when that happens, the entire deck should be back in the order that it started. Remember to only CUT the deck into HALVES.
