A matrix effect with playing cards.
[Also available as a video download.]
Without a doubt, this "matrix" with playing cards created by Aldo is truly special. A splendid opening routine and a surprising ending.
The classic trick of four coins that gather under a card is presented here with playing cards that are found under a jumbo card. The manipulations are really simple; they should already belong to the repertoire of every magician. In a close-up magic program, this could be the only card trick to be presented.
Effect: The A, 2, 3 and 4 of Diamonds are placed on the table, in a square formation. The cards are covered by two jumbo cards. One after the other the four cards are gathered under one jumbo card. The artist now repeats the same effect using only his hands. Apparently, nothing has happened, but when three cards are turned over, they appear blank. The fourth card is shown, and it is a 10 of Diamonds. The sum of the four initial cards!
All is done with a regular deck of cards and a few blank-faced cards. The final surprise is guaranteed to knock out the audience!
