Effect

Three jokers are shown and placed face up on the table, the backs of the jokers are opposite in colour to the deck.

2 Cards are FAIRLY selected by the spectator, and these 2 cards are interlaced with the 3 jokers, forming a packet of 5 alternating cards.

The packet of 5 cards are waved over the deck, and magically, when spread , the spectators 2 selections have vanished , leaving only the 3 jokers.

The next kicker is when, one of the jokers suddenly vanishes !

The magician states that this joker must have gone to find the missing cards, and indeed, the joker is found in between the 2 selected cards in the middle of the deck !

Review

Quite an amazing trick, however, rather difficult to master, and the routine is long and takes some time to learn off by heart. Impatient learners will put it in the draw and never use it again, if mastered, the effect is devastating.

You need to supply your own Bicycle deck.
Keep in mind that you are paying for the secret, nothe gimmick, because the gimmick is simple, and can be made at home.
