A Jack
mysteriously appears in place of another card in this visually baffling magic
card trick. VIDEO DEMONSTRATION
Performance :Three cards
are presented to the audience, two jacks and a non face card. the cards are
clearly displayed, front and back. The magician then deals the cards on the
table, face down. When the cards are turned over, the non face card has been
replaced by a jack ???
Method: This amazing trick
is done with three jacks from a normal pack of cards .
Make a gimmicked card by taking any non face
card and cutting it in half with scissors. The two halves should then be stuck
back together with sticky tape ( the top and bottom of the card should be
touching and then taped, see video for clearer view).
The gimmicked card should be saddled over
the middle jack of the three and the other two jacks placed either side of this
card. You should now fan the cards vertically so that the top third of all
three cards is visible
Next holding the cards together, present
both the front and back of the trio, then proceed to place each card face down
on the table ( this should be done with your palm facing downwards ) . The
three jacks should be drawn from your hand, while the gimmicked card is
secretly retained in your palm and sneaked away out of sight. the three jacks
can now be turned face up to reveal three jacks to the spectators amazement.
