A fooling sandwich routine with a simple, fast effect.
The magician takes out two Jokers and places them on the table, then has the spectator select a card and place it into the middle of the deck, outjogged. The magician then transfers the selection between the two Jokers. But here's the question: if the selection has traveled between the Jokers, what is the outjogged card in the middle of the deck? The magician turns over the card in the middle of the deck, revealing the other card of the same value and suit as the selection. At the same time, the two Jokers instantly change into the other two cards of the same value.

Performance transcript:
- First, shuffle the deck.
- This routine uses two Jokers.
- I'll take them out in advance.
- Then riffle through the deck and have the spectator call stop to select a card.
- Let's say they call stop here and select this card.
- Remember the selection.
- Place the spectator's selection into the middle of the other packet.
- These are the two Jokers we started with.
- And this is the card the spectator freely selected.
- Imagine picking up the selection and tossing it between the two Jokers.
- In an instant, a Queen of Spades appears between the two Jokers.
- But here's the question.
- The spectator's Queen of Spades has traveled between the Jokers.
- So what is this card?
- This card has changed into the other black Queen.
- And the two Jokers in my hand have changed into the other two Queens.
