The four Burglars

Postby Raven1s » May 11th, '13, 18:53



Have just mastered the four Burglars, want to change it a bit where they get caught, and not escape what can I do with that am thinking use a king and then reveal the 4 jacks as been caught.

hope that makes some sort of sense.

Makes perfect sense. How many times have you performed the effect in front of an audience. Just curious.

This was the first trick I ever learned, back in the 1960s from my dads Ellisdons Book Of Magic. Why change the end?

I have decided that the only bit I am going to change is, ask the person I am doing it for "do you think they got away?" and most of the time the person will say no then say take these cards and turn them over and there are the jacks.
