This trick is unparalleled in engaging your audience, making it a must-have for any magician’s repertoire.

Phase 1: Observation

You invite the audience to participate in an observation challenge, encouraging them to focus on the details presented. They will note that there are no extra cards in play, ensuring a fair test.

Phase 2: The “Easy” Question

You begin with a simple question that the audience can easily answer, correctly identifying the number of cards in your hand.

Phase 3: The “Hard” Question

Next, you inform the audience that the upcoming questions will be more challenging. When you ask about the bottom card, they are momentarily puzzled, but to their astonishment, a card appears where the blank card was held.

Phase 4: The “Harder” Question

You then ask them to recall the color of the backs of the playing cards. To their surprise, the color of all five cards has changed, creating an even more astonishing effect.

Phase 5: The “Hardest” Question

With the backs of the cards transformed, you shift the focus to the faces. Asking them to remember the other four cards seems straightforward, but as you reveal the previously blank cards, you astonishingly display a complete Royal Flush!
