E-Club ProColour Confusion - £15.00
An up-in-the-hands colour changing deck routine.
A blue deck of cards is slipped from its box and the faces are shown to be well mixed. Spreading the deck face down, a spectator is asked to touch the back of any card. His selection is removed and shown around. Let’s say it is the 6C. The 6C is lost in the centre of the pack which is shuffled.
The performer now says he will try to find the chosen card, but first he would like to ask the spectator a question. When he touched the back of the card to choose it, did he happen to notice the colour of all the card backs? The spectator says ‘blue’.
The performer agrees, but then snapping his fingers over the deck, he immediately turns it face down to reveal that the top card has a red back. Then he spreads the cards between his two hands, working his way right down from the top of the deck to the bottom and every card is seen to be red - except one.
Sliding out the one blue backed card, the performer says it was easy to find the chosen card because it is the only one whose back has not changed to red - and the card is turned over to reveal it is the chosen 6C.
I designed this version of the colour changing deck for walkabout as I was looking for a quick, visual up-in-the-hands card effect that I could re-set in front of spectators. I have used it many times with lay people and can vouch for its impact. The handling is not difficult and it all looks very clean when presented. There is no rough and smooth involved so when the cards are spread they look and handle totally normally.
You receive the special deck, a DVD which features video of a performance with a full explanation, plus written instructions as further memory joggers.
