The Effect
Two cards are selected and returned to the deck (a spectator can cut the deck), two random cards turn face up and are placed on the top of the deck, a quick shake and one of the spectators cards turns face up between the two cards! The card is returned to the deck (again, a spectator can return the card to the deck), however it jumps face up to the top of the deck again! The first spectator's card then changes into the second spectator's card, and the first spectator's card is found back in the deck!

Difficulty
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)
I would give this a difficulty rating of
2/5, you need to be able to force a card, and there is another move you need to do which is so simple, I wouldn't really call it a sleight. The second card is a completely free choice, and you can get the spectators to do some of the card handling for you anyway
Review
I received this trick in the post, I received the instructions along with the gimmick. It took me about 10 minutes to learn the trick, since there is no sleight of hand (other than one "move" and one force). It is a great effect that is easy to perform, even with people burning your hands, they wont see anything suspicious.
One thing I will say is that the video says the cards can be signed, however this is misleading as ONLY THE MAGICIAN can sign one of the cards.
Overall
Overall this trick gets a great reaction, it is easy to learn and perform, and it is being sold at an excellent price. The only down side is that you can't actually get spectators to sign both cards, so the video makes the trick look more amazing than it actually is.
9/10
