"Not doing this trick would be a huge missed opportunity for your audience. Clever and fun card magic you will use" Jon Armstrong

"A quirky reveal that progressively builds to a fun climax! It's the definition of 'simple but effective' all while taking up no extra room in your deck." David Jonathan

Here’s What Happens:

Three cards are selected and then lost in the deck.

You then make a simple, albeit peculiar, promise: “At the end of this trick, I’ll be holding your card, holding your card, and holding your card.”

You not only deliver on that promise, but do it in a way they’ll never see coming:

• The first card reveals itself by flipping face up
• With a shake, it’s now holding the second selection
• One more flick, and the second card is now holding the third

It’s an Inception-esque moment that’s impossible to forget
