Easy Trick: Teleporting Cards

By Wayne Kawamoto, About.com

1 of 3

Effect:
The spectator is shown some cards and a card is removed. When the spectator is shown the remaining card, it’s different from the card that was previously shown. Where is the card? The magician takes out a pack of cards and removes them from the box. When the deck is perused, the spectator is shown that the vanished card now resides face-up in the face down deck.

Secret:
The effect relies on the gimmick that you created for either The Good Guess or Simple Monte. What you’re doing here is making a card disappear from one place using your choice of gimmicks, and making it appear to have arrived in another. In this case, reversed in a deck of cards.
