Here's a fast and sweet color change that causes a box of red Bicycle cards to quickly change into a box of blue Bicycle cards. Yes, the box itself changes colors in front of spectators' eyes and depending on how you want to work this, Mark Southworth provides ways to end completely clean.
Time for Change
The effect comes with a gimmick that works with your own deck of cards. There are also additional tools that allow you to ditch the color-changing gimmick and then hand the card box out for examination. The change of the card box is very easy to accomplish and requires no moves. To end "clean," you’ll have to do a bit more work that involves misdirection and some ditching.The gimmick is well made and competently does the job. On the accompanying DVD, Southworth provides thorough instructions and several options for handling the gimmick. Reset can be accomplished in less than half a minute, although you’ll want to be out of site of spectators.
Pricey?
I like this one a lot. My understanding is that Henry Evans markets a similar effect, although I don’t know the specific workings of it and whether it’s similar to this one by Southworth. One other thought, at $60, I think this one is a bit pricey for such a fast, momentary effect, but it’s a great product.MSRP: (US) $59
