The Story:

… Can’t … breathe … feeling … pain … must … survive … The Heart family made a grave error when they sent the Jacks after the Joker, believing him to be dead. Little did they know, the Joker was merely biding his time, enduring the agony of a brutal attack known as being “Jacked Up.” In that moment of suffering, a thirst for revenge ignited within him. He recognized the Heart family’s involvement, particularly the Three of Hearts. “I will get him. I will destroy him. I will wear a Heart-shaped bell on my crown!” The day of reckoning is approaching, my little Three of Hearts!

The Effect:

Two cards are chosen from a blue-backed deck and inserted back into the pack by the spectator. Miraculously, both selected cards are Jacks, and the cards adjacent to the insertion point are the remaining Jacks. As a stunning finale, the entire deck transforms to red. Everything is examinable. Watch the Demo. This effect was the standout among the five presented by Jeff on Underground Jam.

“Just a very brief email to tell you how much I love doing ‘Jacked Up’. I like the way it is constructed, how it logically flows, the surprise ending…and best of all, it ends clean. I’ve performed it for several people, and they were speechless at the end. I’ve been searching for a color-changing deck routine for a long time and never found one I liked until this one came along. I love it.” – Bob L.
