Adding to a classic of card magic.
"Wow, what a swindle! In the best sense of the word. Just outstanding!" This is just one reviewer sounding off about Two plus Two, an ingenious revision of that popular mystery The Two Card Trick from Bert Allerton. Not overlooking Bro John Hamman stepping forward some years later with a clever overhaul of the same effect, the evolution of this firm favourite continues. Still very eagerly being performed today, it reinforces that old saying - some magic never ages.
Another reviewer comment: "The trick, in essence, is quite simply watching the 3 of Spades change into the 8 of Hearts, then the 3 of Spades is found under the 3 of Clubs, which is reversed in the deck, but, the very clever patter presentation builds it into something much more. A wonderful example of patter providing psychological misdirection."
Here is a smart development of a much-favoured card classic from years back; this visual card mystery is entertainment all the way. Conceived and written by Ian Baxter, watch spectators being left totally perplexed after witnessing this gem.
Guaranteed to satisfy the most discerning close-up performer.
