The Changing Card
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!
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.
