Hijacked by Steve Morrison
The fronts and backs of four Jacks are slowly shown to the audience and given to a spectator to hold. The spectator is asked to "think of any Jack." A moment later, the magician removes the named Jack from his pocket! Then the four cards held by the spectator are revealed to be the FOUR ACES! No sleight-of-hand. The extremely devious gimmicks do all the work for you! (And yes, the spectator can name ANY Jack!)

I liked this gaff card trick when I first saw it but didn't like paying $20 for essecially 1 (all be it, well made) gaff. Unable to find it alone I gave up and bought the trick and am pretty glad.
The effect is pretty strong. Most magicians will know how it's done when they watch the handling. Non-magicians will see you just did something but will be at a loss for what or how it changed all the cards in your hands.
The DVD is well made. Yes you have to put up with Jay Sankey who personally annoys me more that a pack of monkey high on cotton candy jumping around screeching and slapping me on the head, but maybe thats just me. Jay does show many ways to use the trick so you can find the one that best fits your style. Jay also teaches a useful slight that you can but dont need to use.
Difficulty: EASY. It's not self working but slights (if you can even call them that) is so basic you will be performing it before you even finish watching the DVD.
If you don't think $20 isn't a lot of money for a single trick, then this is a really good one worth looking at.
I like it a lot. It gets a really nice reaction and can be added nicely to the loaded deck I carry around. (ColorFusion, 2 Card Monte, Ultimate monte, and now Hijacked)
