Instruction Sheets for the Card Trick

These instruction sheets are provided for those who may have misplaced the original instructions or are curious about the trick’s mechanics. Please note that these instructions do not reveal how to create the trick, only the secret behind it.

The magician invites the audience to learn a straightforward card trick using a fan of three jumbo playing cards. Among them, two are red sevens, while the center card is a black seven. The backs of the cards are displayed, revealing a sticker on the back of the black seven, which the magician claims helps keep track of it. When the marked black seven is removed, it astonishingly transforms into a black jack.

The performer elaborates on how a partial card flap was utilized to conceal the jack. Many in the audience, including fellow magicians, will recognize this as a variation of the classic three-card monte trick, commonly found in children’s magic kits.

After explaining the effect, the magician presents the black jack, still bearing the sticker, confirming it is indeed the same card. He confidently states, “Real magicians don’t need a card flap to create a card change.” With a breath, the card magically transforms into a red ace or any previously chosen card! This card can be handed out for examination, still showing the sticker on the back. Even seasoned magicians will be amazed by this surprising transformation. This trick has successfully deceived many magicians, and now you can learn its secret.
