of to Ace of ----Card Transposition----

This is a simple pre-trick that can be done as a stand-alone or as a precursor to another card routine.

Garnet Garven of the Palm Springs Magician’s Club.

Effect: The Magician is holding a three card fan – two black cards and the Ace of Diamonds. The card fan is closed and placed face-down on the table. The cards are turned face-up to reveal that the Ace of Diamonds has changed to the Ace of Hearts. The cards can be examined.

Set-up: No set-up is required. You will need two black Jokers and an Ace of Hearts.

Performance: While Jokers are always the fun of the party, they can also cause the most trouble!

Show the three card fan.

I have the Ace of Diamonds surrounded by the two trouble-making Jokers.

Turn the card fan over while closing the fan and place the packet face-down on the table. The top card will be the Ace. While leaving the Ace face-down, turn-over the Jokers so they are on either side of the turned down Ace.

Finally, turn-over the supposed Ace of Diamonds to reveal the card has changed to the Ace of Hearts.

Take a bow.
