Review: Wipe The Slate Clean by Chris Webb

Color Change, Change, Change

You show a blue-backed deck of cards and allow a spectator to freely choose a card and sign it.

The card is placed into the deck's center and then all of the cards change from blue to red backed cards except one card, which is the spectators signed card. In the second phase, the card back changes in steps: half and half, and then the entire back.

This trick relies on a heavily and cleverly gimmicked card, but it takes work to make the gimmick pass the scrutiny of close-up crowds. And in the end, much of what you can do with the gaff can be accomplished with sleight of hand.

Overall, I'm not impressed. I would rather stick with a good "Chicago Opener" style routine.
