[ Quentin grins, beaming with pride because he's still young enough that praise is so very appreciated, and he doesn't get as many audiences as he used to for card tricks. ]
It comes in handy since I used to be able to do actual magic too, and that required very good hand work.
[ That's putting it mildly. The way magic works in his world requires perfect finger placement and focus on manipulation through hands. Quentin being so quick with them already certainly gave him a little bit of a boost when he started memorizing spells, although he was behind most of his friends since they'd known about magic much longer. ]
Okay, this is a fun one. So first we have the Ace of Clubs and Ace of Spades. And they're going to find your card.
[Quentin starts by flicking* the two of them to the top of the deck as if it's nothing. He puts Hook's card back into the middle of the deck and one-hand shuffles, holding the two aces in his other hand. He puts his hands apart, one-handed shuffling again, and then flicks one out of the deck and to his other hand. Right between the aces, and he shows Hook that it's indeed the queen of hearts. Voila.]
The funny part is that everyone was like oh Q, you and your silly card tricks, until I won a magic card game using normal sleight of hand, so like ... boom.
[ooc: ** through 1:40, perfectly with queen of hearts too!]
