The Effect
Phase 1: After clearly showing the four tens, the spectator watches as the two black cards are laid on the table. Then miraculously, they switch places with each other, even though they clearly saw them placed on the table in a specific order!

Phase 2: The spectator then watches as you place the two remaining red cards on top of the black cards. However, with just a magic wave, the red cards end up back in your hand, leaving the two black tens face down on the table!

Phase 3: This one is down FACE UP! The spectator clearly watches you mix a red card with a black card. The final kicker is when a face up black ten is mixed with a face down red, only to discover that they both magically turn face down...AND BOTH TURN RED! Sure enough, the spectator is left with their jaws open wide as the two black tens, once again, remain on the table! And the best part is....you can finish the trick CLEAN! They can examine the four tens when you're finished!

Review
This is my first trick of this type. I quite like it, it's easy and clean. You can let specs examine the four tens when you're finished. You can't let specs grab. Subtle diff.

It has NO Gimmicked cards. But you can't do it immediatlely out of the box. Resets in 2s. Have I said too much?

Be gentle on the demo. It's not performed very well at all. I can do the handlings more smoothly after a day of practice. Patter's a big long to memorise, I feel some places he's stressing 'red'/'black' too much. If you have comments to improve it please post it here.



Overall
7-8/10 The demo/patter was bad. It has potential to be better if it's smoothed out.

That 's cool
