The Effect
A spectator selects a card, which is returned to the deck, the magician then takes the cards, turning them alternatly, messing up the order of the pack, all the cards are face up and face down. he then says his magic words and the whole deck rights itself! apart from one card, the selected card (say for EG 4 Of Hearts) he then takes the four of hearts and takes the cards again, messing up the pack aso before. Says some magic words and not only has the whole deck righted itself, but there slected card is on top and for a massive kicker! ALL the reds are on top and ALL the blacks are on the bottom - they have spserated. use a NORMAL deck, no funny slight of hand, no dodgy gimicks, you are left totaly clean, a fab impromtu trick!



Cost
around £6 of penguin, but theoreticly its free, all you need is a deck of cards and the know-how



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)
2 - an amazing trick and soo easy to do


Review
A fabulous trick, I seen it of a magician in bristol, i then went away and learned it, now i perform it all the time! super!



Overall

Overall, ill give this a rating 9/10 an amazing effect and so easy to do!

Any thoughts please let me know!
Thanks, Magic J'

Nice Review there Magic J'

Thoughts for my day:

Must learn this one very soon! I've seen you perform it and it is very good.

Tata for now

yes, very nice, (and potentially very quick) impromptu trick.
performed well it is great but i have seen a few people do it and when they mix the cards up it just doesn't seem convincing in some way, possibly due to "non-random" hand turning or something.

ive also seen this used as part of an ACR, instead of runnign through the deck to find the only face up one the guy did a pass to make it jumpface up to the top of the deck, then showed all the other cards were now face down, was kinda nice

I don't get it. :?: :?: :?:

Why spend £6.00 on 1 effect when you can buy Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic for a little bit dearer which has exactly the same effect in it and about 500 hundred more. :?


Whats it called in "MWCCIM" (Lol soz for my shorthand confusion then)
