could someone please tell me the effect of the "jumping gemini" routine. i don't want to know the secret here. just the effect. i have heard the name of the trick but i have never seen it. so i am just curious to know what is the trick about.

you start whit the 4 aces.
but one ace returns always on top, if you put him under others , in the middle or even on the table he returns on top of packet.
Then you show that the same 4 aces are transformed in 4 jokers ( or 4 other identical card) and at the end the same 4 card are transformed in 4 queens of each colour . I love it it is a fast and it is a stunning routine. and whith a normal deck.

A tip for me now:
My public always sey that i use gimmicked card in this routine. How can i convince them that i DONT ( whithout showing the cards?) .

do a packet switch at the end so you can throw all 4 face up on the table. then people can inspect them as much as they want.

Insert the cards back into the pack and then hand out the pack for examination.

giulio - it all depends on what you want to show?

There is a way to show all four as the kings (to seal the deal of the finish)

There's also a way to really put an exclamation point on the end of it and revert them back to the aces.

If you're interested, hit me with a pm and I'll give you some pointers.
