This manuscript is a compilation of methods in order to identify and track its history. In the process, it hopes to show how a given trick evolves, sometimes devolves, and ultimately reflects the periods of time this process has occurred.
The trick in this case is the "Red-Hot Mama" or "The Chicago Opener," a presentation that has been around for
almost 60 years and has been a useful, dependable and enduring workhorse.
In its basic form it is an effect where a card is selected. Its back changes color and is set aside. A second card is selected, lost in the deck, and the initial selection changes into the second selection.
