The Effect

3 blue-backed cards are randomly taken from the deck. You tell your audience that these are prediction cards.
A spectator selects a card at random. This card is then shown to match the other 3 prediction cards exactly.
But how can this be? 4 identical cards from the same deck? At this point you change all three prediction cards to have different backs, white, black and yellow. Now everything makes perfect sense.
Except for one thing- the entire deck has now changed from red to blue.

Cost

£10.67 from magic box.


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 or 3. Its not impossible. Just a bit of practise.

Review

What a lovely little trick. This ones a keeper. It does exactly what it says on the tin. A tripple whammy. Comes with some pretty nifty gaffs but you supply the red deck. A few sleights used, flustration count, double-lift, but all are explained in the booklet.

Overall

8 and a half/10

I agree I love this affect with a bit of practice you have yourself a real winner. If you are looking for an impromptu version of this effect look into Darwin Ortiz's Jumping Gemini, and Gregory Wilsons spin on this effect Double Take. For those of you have own stragners Gallery you will understand what I mean. I have videos of myself performing all of these tricks so PM me if you wish to see them so you can compare.
