This is a really good magic card trick where a card is seen to change into another card after it has been given a magic rub. This illusion is performed right under your audience's nose which makes it even more convincing. Such is the beauty of close up magic. The How To Magic Instruction Video on this page shows the card trick being demonstrated then gives an explanation of how the magic trick was done. Method : Make sure that the card that you wish to change to is directly under the top card. When you place your hand on top of the cards, gently push the top card up a little. This will expose a little of the second from top card. Now use the fleshy part of your palm ( the part nearest the wrist ) to pull back the second card until it clicks free from the pack. Now push forward and this card should slide over the pack to become the new top card. This move will be hidden from view from your audience who should be viewing the move from above, looking down on the back of your hand.

Sebella Rose: World traveler? Taking to the skies for the first time
at only two months old, the
daughter of actors Eric Winter and Roselyn Sánchez is already racking
up the pages in her passport. "We went to Bogotá, Colombia where
my wife was shooting a miniseries. We were very
nervous because the flight was long and it was the
first time traveling with Sebella, but she did
amazing!" the proud father, 35, tells PEOPLE. "She
slept pretty much the entire time." With Winter recently wrapping his
new film, Fire with Fire, and
Sánchez, 39, currently working on Devious Maids,
the new dad admits they are still learning to juggle
their professional lives with parenthood. "We are
adjusting the best we can. Our work is
unpredictable and requires a lot of traveling and [relocating], so we
just take one day at a time," he
says. "[We] make every decision with the well-
being of our daughter as priority." All the air time
has allowed the first-time parents to pick up a few
tricks along the way, including healthy habits and a
fun way to keep in touch with friends and family. "We always carry
Vitamin C with us and take some
(Sebella, too!) before takeoff," Winter explains.
"We [also] never leave home without our T-Mobile
HTC One S. It's the perfect way to share photos
of Sebella while we are away." According to
Winter, the phone allows those back home to never miss a milestone --
and lately, the 6-month-
old baby girl has had much to celebrate! "She's
always smiling and giggling. She recently
discovered her voice, so she's constantly trying to
have a conversation," the doting dad shares.
"When she wants attention from us she has a specific scream that she
does to get our attention.
We are blessed that she is healthy and a very
happy baby!"

They have an apartment in Paris and were
recently spotted enjoying all that's glamorous
about the City of Light – but for longtime couple
Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson, it's the simple
things about the city that are most special. "The most romantic thing
about Paris for me is
just walking around and being immersed in the
city," Jackson told PEOPLE Monday at the North
American theatrical premiere of Kruger's latest film,
Farewell, My Queen at the Museum of Modern Art
in New York City. "Because Diane has lived there for so long and we
have an apartment there, the most romantic part
of our day is waking up in our own neighborhood
and going down to a cafe and just having
breakfast," he said. "Which is a really quotidian
thing to do – but to do it in that city is pretty nice." Kruger's
French connection extends to her role in
her new movie, due in theaters July 13, in which
she plays the ill-fated queen Marie Antoinette.
Being a member of a royal family has never
appealed to the German actress. "I do like the Royals and I definitely
watched their
wedding," she said of Kate and Prince William. "I
think it's something we can dream about in our
society. I myself have never wanted to be in an
ivory tower – I [have to be] honest." Still, the outfits she wore had
Jackson royally
impressed. "I definitely made the effort to go see her in the
full queen regalia," he said. "It's a one-time thing in
an actor's life. It was sexy – period." After Monday night's
screening, the pair headed
over to an afterparty at the Cultural Services of
the French Embassy in New York, where Kruger
basked in praise for her performance, and Jackson
stayed nearby, ever-supportive.

While reports have surfaced that Sage Moonblood
Stallone may have been dead for several days
before his body was discovered in his Hollywood
Hills home Friday, his attorney and longtime friend
George Braunstein dismisses such a suggestion –
and points to the fact that photos of him at home were posted to
Stallone's Facebook page only 17
hours before he was found. In addition, Braunstein tells PEOPLE, although
Stallone smoked cigarettes and consumed candy
and soda, the 36-year-old never exhibited any
signs of drug use or addiction. "Sage didn't even drink," the attorney, who knew
the son of Sylvester Stallone socially and
professionally for more than 15 years, tells
PEOPLE. "There was a report that his room was
filled with liquor bottles. Actually, they were empty
bottles of Dr. Brown's Cream Soda." "Sage was a really young, very
sensitive, and very
talented kid," says Braunstein. "There has been no
indication that there was anything wrong in his
life." Not only did Stallone and business partner Bob
Murawsky recently sign a new contract acquiring a
new film for their company Grindhouse Releasing,
but Sage also had intended to marry his longtime
girlfriend in Las Vegas this very weekend. Also, despite some reports
that paint Stallone as a
recluse, a more accurate description would be that
he was a grade-A film geek, known and respected
among aficionados of exploitation cinema. Among
the movies his company released, in conjunction
with Quentin Tarantino, was Gone with the Pope. 'Idolized His
Father'"He was a very independent
person and spent a lot of time on his own writing
and researching and watching movies," Braunstein
says of his friend. "He knew everything about
movies. The man was a walking encyclopedia of
film. It was remarkable, even a little weird how much he knew. He
could talk volumes about a
movie you had never even known existed." A rep for Sylvester Stallone,
66, said the
Hollywood legend is "devastated and grief-
stricken." Sage was the elder Stallone's first-born,
with his first wife, Sasha Czack. Says Braunstein: "He was close to both of his
parents and looked up to them." Indeed, there was a single picture in the room
where he was found dead Friday. "It was a picture
of Sage at 14 standing next to his dad," says
Braunstein. "He idolized his father."

although most of us would probably affirm that superstition's role in
Western culture is now a much diminished one, more a source of
amusement than anything else, there are still those who allow their
trepidation over particular days or dates to prevent them from
engaging in their choice of activities. We may make jokes about Friday
the 13th and only kiddingly instruct loved ones to exercise greater
care on that day, but those who suffer from a fear of the number
thirteen (triskaidekaphobia) or a fear of Friday the 13th
(paraskevidekatriaphobia) may genuinely feel limited by the rumored
potential for ill luck connected with the date. The reasons why Friday
came to be regarded as a day of bad luck have been obscured by the
mists of time — some of the more common theories link it to a
significant event in Christian tradition said to have taken place on
Friday, such as the Crucifixion, Eve's offering the apple to Adam in
the Garden of Eden, the beginning of the Great Flood, or the confusion
at the Tower of Babel. Chaucer alluded to Friday as a day on which bad
things seemed to happen in the Canterbury Tales as far back as the
late 14th century ("And on a Friday fell all this mischance"), but
references to Friday as a day connected with ill luck generally start
to show up in Western literature around the mid-17th century: "Now
Friday came, you old wives say, Of all the week's the unluckiest day."
(1656) From the early 19th century onward, examples abound of Friday's
being considered a bad day for all sorts of ordinary tasks, from
writing letters to conducting business and receiving medical
treatment: "I knew another poor woman, who lost half her time in
waiting for lucky days, and made it a rule never to . . . write a
letter on business . . . on a Friday — so her business was never done,
and her fortune suffered accordingly." (1804) "There are still a few
respectable tradesmen and merchants who will not transact business, or
be bled, or take physic, on a Friday, because it is an unlucky day."
(1831) Friday was also said to be a particularly unlucky day on which
to undertake anything that represented a beginning or the start of a
new venture, thus we find references to all of the following
activities as endeavors best avoided on Fridays: Needleworking: "I
knew an old lady who, if she had nearly completed a piece of
needlework on a Thursday, would put it aside unfinished, and set a few
stitches in her next undertaking, that she might not be obliged either
to begin the new task on Friday or to remain idle for a day." (1883)
Harvesting: "My father once decided to start harvest on a Friday, and
men went out on the Thursday evening, and, unpaid, cut along one side
of the first field with their scythes, in order to dodge the malign
fates which a Friday start would begin." (1933) Laying the keel of, or
launching, a ship: "Fisherman would have great misgivings about laying
the keel of a new boat on Friday, as well as launching one on that
day." (1885) Beginning a sea voyage: "Sailors are many of them
superstitious . . . A voyage begun [on a Friday] is sure to be an
unfortunate one." (1823) Beginning a journey: "I knew another poor
woman, who . . . made it a rule never to . . . set out on a journey on
a Friday." (1804) Giving birth: "A child born on a Friday is doomed to
misfortune." (1846) Getting married: "As to Friday, a couple married
on that day are doomed to a cat-and-dog life." (1879) Recovering from
illness: "If you have been ill, don't get up for the first time on a
Friday." (1923) Hearing news: "If you hear anything new on a Friday,
it gives you another wrinkle on your face, and adds a year to your
age." (1883) Moving: "Don't move on a Friday, or you won't stay there
very long." (1982) Starting a new job: "Servants who go into their
situations on Friday, never go to stay." (1923) In some cases, Good
Friday (the Friday before Easter) was regarded as an exception or
'antidote' to the bad luck usually associated with Friday beginnings:
"Notwithstanding the prejudice against sailing on a Friday . . . most
of the pleasure-boats . . . make their first voyage for the season on
Good Friday." (1857) "It was accounted unlucky for a child to be born
on a Friday, unless it happened to be Good Friday, when the event was
counterbalanced by the sanctity of the day." (1870) The origins of the
connection between the number thirteen and ill fortune are similarly
obscure. Many different sources for the superstition surrounding the
number thirteen have been posited, the most common stemming from
another Christian source, the Last Supper, at which Judas Iscariot was
said to have been the thirteenth guest to sit at the table. (Judas
later betrayed Jesus, leading to His crucifixion, and then took his
own life.) This Christian symbolism is reflected in early Western
references to thirteen as an omen of bad fortune, which generally
started to appear in the early 18th century and warned that thirteen
people sitting down to a meal together presaged that one of them would
die within the year: "I have known, and now know, persons in genteel
life who did, and do, not sit down to table unmoved with twelve
others. Our notion is that one of the thirteen so partaking, will die
ere the expiry of the year." (1823) "The old story runs, that the last
individual of the thirteen who takes a seat has the greatest chance of
being the 'doomed one'." (1839) Superstition held that the victim
would be the first person to rise from the table (or the last one to
be seated), leading to the remedies of having all guests sit and stand
at the same time, or seating one or more guests at a separate table: "
. . . Miss Mellon always gave the last comer an equal chance with the
rest for life . . . she used to rise and say, 'I will not have any
friend of mine sit down as the thirteenth; you must all rise, and we
will then sit down again together.'" (1839) "Every one knows that to
sit down thirteen at a table is a most unlucky omen, sure to be
followed by the death of one of the party within the year . . . Some
say, however, that the evil will only befall the first who leaves the
table, and may be averted if the whole company are careful to rise
from their seats at the same moment." (1883) " . . . so far is this
feeling carried that one of the thirteen is requested to dine at a
side table!" (1823) (The "thirteen at the table" form of superstition
again harkens back to the Last Supper: the one who left the table
first, Judas Iscariot, died at his own hand soon afterwards.) More
generally, groups of thirteen people in any context — at a table, in a
room, on a ship — were believed to inevitably lead to tragedy: "On a
sudden an old woman unluckily observed there were thirteen of us in
company. This remark struck a panic terror into several who were
present . . . but a friend of mine, taking notice that one of our
female companions was big with child, affirmed there were fourteen in
the room . . ." (1711) "Notwithstanding . . . opinions in favour of
odd numbers, the number thirteen is considered as extremely ominous;
it being held that, when thirteen persons meet in a room, one of them
will die within the year." (1787) "Many will not sail on a vessel when
[thirteen] is the number of persons on board; and it is believed that
some fatal accident must befall one of them." (1808) By the late 19th
century the superstition surrounding thirteen had become even more
general, with people going out of their ways to avoid anything
designated by the number thirteen, whether it be hotel rooms, desks,
or cars: "'Look at that,' said Parnell, pointing to the number on his
door. It was No. 13! 'What a room to give me!'" (1893) "For some time
before the late War I went almost daily to the British Museum reading
room . . . I gave some attention to the desks left to the last comers
. . . there was a very marked preference of any other desk to that
numbered '13'." (1927) "The mechanic helped him get out [of the racing
car]. 'May as well scratch,' he said. 'He won't be good for anything
more this afternoon. It's asking for trouble having a No. 13.'" (1930)
Once again these ill omens were avoided through artifice, such as the
renumbering of rooms in hotels and inns to eliminate any Room #13's,
and misnumbering the floors above the 12th floor in multi- story
buildings so that tenants could pretend 13th floors were really 14th
floors. Just as Friday was considered an inauspicious day of the week
on which to embark upon a new enterprise, so the 13th day of a month
came to signify a particularly bad day for beginning a venture.

week (Friday) and a particularly unlucky day of the month (the 13th)

alt="Michael Clarke Duncan Hospitalized: 'Green Mile' Actor Suffers
Cardiac Arrest July 13, 2012 11:41:06 Michael Clarke Duncan was
hospitalized Friday morning">
According to TMZ, the 54-year-old "Green Mile" actor
"might have died" if his girlfriend, Omarosa Stallworth,
had not found him while he was in a state of cardiac
arrest. The former "Apprentice" contestant reportedly
performed CPR and successfully resuscitated Duncan. Although Duncan is
now in stable condition, he is
currently in the intensive care unit at a Los Angeles
hospital.

Michael Clarke Duncan (born December 10, 1957) 10, 1957) is an
American actor, best known for his breakout role as
John Coffey in The Green Mile, for which he was nominated for an
Academy Award and a Golden Globe. Early life Duncan was born in
Chicago, Illinois and grew up in a single-parent household with his
sister, Judy, and
mother, Jean Duncan (a house cleaner), after his father left. He
always wanted to act, but had to drop out of the Communications
program at Alcorn State University to support his family when his
mother became ill. Duncan's large frame—6 feet 5 inches (196 cm) and
315 pounds (142 kg)—helped him in his jobs digging ditches for the
People's Gas Company and
being a bouncer at different Chicago clubs. Duncan has stated that one
of his many jobs had been a stripper and that his stage name was Black
Caesar. In 1979, he participated in the Disco Demolition Night at
Comiskey Park, home of the Chicago White Sox: he was among the first
100 people to run onto the field
and he slid into third base. During the ensuing riot his silver belt
buckle was stolen while he was stealing a baseball bat from the
dugout. Clarke would later provide the narration for the 2005 World
Series film. Career Duncan took other security jobs while in Los
Angeles
while trying to get some acting work in commercials.
During this time, he worked as a bodyguard for
celebrities like Will Smith, Martin Lawrence, Jamie Foxx, LL Cool J,
and Notorious B.I.G. all the while doing bit parts in television and
films. When the Notorious B.I.G.
was killed in 1997, a friend was covering for Duncan.
This was the reason for Duncan to quit this line of work. In 1998,
Duncan was cast as Bear in the film Armageddon, where he struck up a
friendship with castmate Bruce Willis. It was Bruce Willis' influence
that helped him to get his breakout role as John Coffey in
the Frank Darabont-directed The Green Mile, a role which netted him an
Academy Award nomination for Best Actor in a Supporting Role and a
Golden Globe nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a
Supporting Role in a Motion Picture . Duncan then was cast in a string
of films that helped
to establish him as a star: The Whole Nine Yards, Planet of the Apes,
The Scorpion King (where he starred alongside his friend, The Rock),
The Island and Daredevil as Wilson Fisk, aka The Kingpin. At first
glance, Wilson Fisk appears to be an overweight
corporate head nicknamed Kingpin, while in fact he is
the sole person running organized crime. Duncan
signed on for the role in January 2002, though he had been attached
far earlier. When Duncan was cast, he weighed 290 pounds. He was asked
to gain 40
pounds for the role in order to fit the physique of
Kingpin. In order to do this, he would lift weights for
30 minutes a day, and power-lifted with one or two reps a day, as well
as eating whatever he wanted.
Despite this, Duncan's biggest concern was that he is
black, whilst Kingpin has always been portrayed as white. He spoke on
the fan's loyalty to the source material by saying "they watch movies
to say, 'Hey,
that's not like the comic book.' But I want them to
get past that and just see the movie for what it is and see me for
what I am—an actor." In July 2006, Duncan showed interest in returning
for the role of
the Kingpin, but stated that he would not be willing to
gain weight as he felt "comfortable" being down to
270 pounds. However, he jokingly showed willingness
to change his mind if he was offered $20 million.
Duncan suggested that the character be portrayed as having been
training a lot in jail in order to become
faster in combat against Daredevil, also working as a way to fit his
weight loss into the story. In 2009, he stopped eating meat and later
appeared in a PETA ad campaign, touting the health benefits and his
increased strength from a vegetarian diet. Duncan has also provided
his voice for a number of
roles including Brother Bear and its sequel, Brother Bear 2, The Land
Before Time XI: Invasion of the Tinysauruses, Quiznos commercials, and
the video games Demon Stone, SOCOM II: U.S. Navy SEALs, The Suffering:
Ties That Bind, Saints Row, and Soldier of Fortune, with his most
recent role being God of War II, where he provides the voice of Atlas,
the Titan condemned by Zeus to stand at the western edge of the earth
and hold up the sky on his shoulders. He
reprised his role as the Kingpin in Spider-Man: The New Animated
Series. In 2005, he starred in the film Sin City (again alongside
Bruce Willis) as Manute, a powerful mobster. Duncan
appeared in a minor role in the 2006 movie Talladega Nights: The
Ballad of Ricky Bobby as Lucius Washington, and he voiced the role of
the villain
Massive in the Loonatics Unleashed. In 2006, he voiced the role of
Numbuh 26 in the animated movie Codename: Kids Next Door: Operation
ZERO. He played Balrog in Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li and
voiced the prison commander in Kung Fu Panda. He has also guest
starred in numerous television
shows. He appeared in an episode of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody
"Benchwarmers" as Zack's basketball coach, Coach Little (Which Zack
poked fun at, since
the "Little" was somewhat ironic due to his large build)
. In 2005, Duncan guest-starred in a first-season episode of CSI:
NY.He appeared as "Colt" in the second-season premiere of Chuck,
"Chuck Versus The First Date". In November he appearer as a guest star
on the CBS show Two and a Half Men. In April 2011 Duncan guest starred
on an episode of TV series Bones as Leo Knox. In 2012, Duncan got his
first starring role as the same character in the spinoff series The
Finder. In the same year, he appeared in a public service announcement
advertising the importance of knowing early onset symptoms of strokes.
