This is such a strong trick that it fools magicians and laymen alike! The presentation and build up are comic - the finish is pure magic! Here is the effect that YOU will be doing soon....
The magician removes a blank pack of cards from its case and spreads it freely between the hands to show that the cards have no faces or backs.
He explains that he and the spectator are going to choose a card each, but not by actually taking one, as since all the cards are blank they won’t know which cards have been selected, but by NAMING one. And to ensure a nice contrast of card, one is to be a red, the other black.
The spectator is handed half the deck which he is told contains all the red cards. He is requested to name any red card and to then guess which one of the blank cards it is and remove it. The performer names a black card and removes one of the blank cards from his half to represent that one.
The performer's `card' (say the 9C) is cut into the centre of his deck half while the spectator’s `card' (for example the 4H) is cut into the middle his half. The performer now says he will make the two named cards CHANGE PLACES! Immediately each deck half is cut to reveal a blank card which the performer tries to suggest is the transposed card!
The spectators believe it is all a joke, so the performer offers to make the two cards print themselves. He snaps his fingers over the two piles and asks the spectator to spread his half across the table. When he does it reveals one card suddenly printed amongst his blanks - IT IS THE PERFORMER’S 9C! Then the magician ribbon spreads his half across the table to reveal - THE SPECTATOR'S FREELY NAMED 4H NOW THE ONLY PRINTED CARD IN THAT HALF!
No rough and smooth, no sleight of hand. This is easy to do and quite stunning in its final impact. Highly praised by all who have bought it.
