A new handling of a classic plot.
A spectator freely selects a card. The magician claims he will cut to the other three cards of the same value. He cuts three cards and leaves each face up in the deck. At the end, they are revealed to be the wrong value. But when the deck is spread, the three face-up cards have impossibly changed into the other three mates of the spectator's selection.
Performance transcript:
- First, shuffle the deck.
- Have the spectator freely select a card.
- Let's say they select this card.
- Remember your card.
- As a magician,
- I'll try to cut to the other three cards of the same value.
- Here's my first cut.
- The 10 of Diamonds.
- Don't forget it.
- Here's my second cut, the 10 of Clubs.
- The first is a Diamond, the second is a Club.
- And one last card.
- The last one is the 10 of Hearts.
- So that tells me your selection must be the remaining 10, the Spades.
- The Queen of Spades.
- But that's okay. I'm a magician.
- So all I have to do is give them a little tap.
- The three 10s instantly transform into three Queens.
