The Ink on The Deck is a captivating magic trick where a spectator selects two cards, such as the Ace of Hearts and the Six of Clubs. The magician then pretends to take “invisible” ink from a marker and, with a wave over the deck, the name of one chosen card, the “Ace of Hearts,” appears magically on the edge of the deck. Following this, the magician performs a flourish, and the written card visually transforms into the second chosen card, the “Six of Clubs.” The deck can then be shown as completely normal, leaving no trace of the trick.

This effect is incredibly easy to perform, making it ideal for close-up magicians. Its originality and visual impact make it a must-have in any magician’s repertoire, and it resets in just five seconds.
