A Card Trick That Makes Changes The Color Of Your Card Magically.

With just some practice everyone can pull off this card trick. At first, like most tricks it will seem a little confusing and awkward but after running through it a couple times it will become second nature, very smooth and leave your audience scratching their heads.

Item you will need to get through this trick:

Make sure you have one deck of cards that has a blue back and another deck of cards that has a red back and they both are the same sized cards. Select ten cards, five from the red deck and five from the blue deck, it does not matter what cards you get out.

To start off:

You can begin by alternating one blue backed card and then one red backed card making five pairs of cards in your hand. Without showing the backs of the cards, fan out the face up cards and show your audience. Tell them to point to one of the cards in the pile you have fanned out. Take out the card they chose and with a little magic place it on display with it facing up so that everyone can see. The cards that come before the chosen card will be in your right hand and the rest will remain in your left hand. While you have dropped the selected card onto the table no one will be paying attention to your hands so that is when you can put the right hand cards under the cards in your left hand. People can see the front of the cards only, so take care when handling them.

The next phase:

And now that part of the trick which will bedazzle you. You want your audience to believe that the cards all have the same color back. To create this illusion, after you have moved the right hand cards behind the left hand cards, make sure all the cards are tightly stacked. The cards are still face up.  Pull the top card off and turn it over showing the back side. Now you can proclaim, "All cards have the same backing color." While saying this reveal the back of the pile of cards in your left hand have the same color backing. Ask them if they believe that their card has changed color and place both the top card and those in your left hand in separate bunches in front of them.

Tell the spectators that the card they chose which was once red now had a blue back on it. Flip it over to uncover the secret. The color has changed from the selected card. Amazing!

My thoughts in closing:

Not giving away the color at the back of the cards is the key to making this trick work, do it right and with practice your friends will be amazed. Remember the color the people chose remains the color on the back of the card. It will not matter which card they do pick. You put the cards back into their sequenced order when the left cards were put in front of the right ones.
