Watch the Joker
Three spectators freely select a card each, and then sign and return them to the deck. You take out the joker and place it into your coat pocket. Almost immediately, the joker reappears face-up in the face-down deck next to the first selection.The Joker is again placed into your pocket and the deck is spread to show that there are no face-up cards. Again, the Joker reappears face-up in the face-down deck, next to the second selection.
The Joker is removed a final time, but this time, fails to reappear in the deck. You reach into your pocket and show that the joker failed because he fell off of his bike. The playing card actually shows a joker who has fallen down. You reach into your pocket and remove the final signed selection.
Into the Pocket
If you have fundamental card handling skills you will have no problem learning and performing this one. The signed card from pocket is a "no-palm" version and the dirty work occurs at a point when spectators aren't watching carefully.The trick is demonstrated and adequately explained on an accompanying DVD. Reset is quick, but you will want to do this out of sight of spectators.
I find this one intriguing, but despite the gimmicked cards, I'm not sure that the effect plays all that much stronger than a good, multi-phase sandwich routine. But for those who want to be able to find three selected cards, with the third one in the pocket, may like this one.
