Original Author: Unknown
Effect: A spectator picks a card. Then he (or she)
takes the rest of the pack in his hands and puts the selected
card on top of the deck. The magician takes the pack of cards
and takes off the top card. The magician asks the spectator
what his card was. He flips over the card and it is not the
selected card. The Spectator's Card has Changed!
The Performance:
When the spectator picks the card and looks at it, secretly
palm a card off the deck. Hand the deck to the spectator and
tell him to place his card on top. When you take back the
deck, act as if you are squaring up the deck but actually
place the
palmed
card on top. Take off the top card and ask what his card was.
Flip over the card, and it has magically changed into another
card.
The Changing
Card Variation
Effect: Now not only does the
card change, it disappears!
Variation:
Do the trick exactly the same except
for one minor preparation. Place on the top card a piece of
double-sided tape. This way, when the spectator places his
card on top, it will stick to the other card. Now the card
changes, and also vanishes!
