The Effect: You need two spectators, and each is given a deck of cards (one red, and one blue). The spectators are both told to deal cards down onto the table, and to stop wherever they want. They can stop in completely different places, and then they switch cards. When the two cards are revealed they are a perfect match! The best bit is the kicker ending, all the other cards are completely blank!

I have used this trick a few times now, and did one of the bonus tricks with a friends deck and I must admit it gets a reaction!! It's a powerful ending and if you "ham" it up a bit and feed the idea that the decks are all the same cards..... pause......... and then let the spectators see they are all blank and let the "How did you that?" questions begin. This trick is very easy, I mean simple easy reset is just as easy, buy it use it and you won't be disappointed.
I gave this a below standard rating because, while the effect is good, selling it as a stand-alone effect for $40 is a bit like thinking up a new variation on a standard stripper deck trick, packaging the idea with a stripper deck and selling it for $40, which I think is a huge problem in magic today. But if that doesn’t bother you conceptually, and you aren’t able to figure it out from the trailer, then it’s a great buy— it’s a strong effect, self working, and gets great reactions.

Mark asks: Can the matching cards be different for every performance?
Treven asks: Is it a rough smooth concept? My only concern is at the end when the cards are ribbon spread, do they have to be carefully ribbon spread? And in that case does the spectator have to do things exact?
Gino asks: The dreaded magician question: Since the effect os performed entirely by the spectator..is there a danger of them discovering the “secret” if they play or manipulate the cards after they complete the trick?
Arnold asks: I have “Choice”by Jerome Saul one. I want to purchase another gimmick roughing stick that he uses. What is the name of that stick and do you carry it. Thanx Arnold levin
Owen asks: Can you perform this surrounded and what is the how many degrees can the spectator view from?
