Trick Review: About Face by Jay Sankey

Monday September 17, 2007
Turnabout Good Play?

A variation on a classic packet card trick, Jay Sankey's "About Face" makes the printed Jokers on four Joker cards turn around, one-by-one. Spectators actually see the back of the head of each Joker on each card.

Sankey offers brilliant handling that makes it appear that all the Jokers are normal in the beginning and that all have turned their heads at the end. And he offers first rate instruction on the accompanying DVD. My only reservation is that I think the transformations are too subtle.
