I use it at every gig I do Love it!!!

[@brianmendenhall8387]

It still is a crowd favorite, even though we magicians know how easy it is. I like doing the Her Card- His Card version. Plays great for couples!

Hi Craig, I love this trick, I've used it for a lot of years now. I really like the Pop Haydn routine for it.

[@MalekMagicianPR]

One of the first tricks I learned from Michael Ammar Easy to master card magic I kind of misses those "super practice". I'm so glad he's back tho

[@Dazlingmagic]

Brilliant! I use this as an opener and it always gets great reactions! The great Pop Haydn has a download on this on his website which is very good!

[@ColinUnderwood]

Great trick. I do the Doc Eason idea which gives you a colour change first.

I believe there was another version that used a gimmick known as blue cold box or something like that

[@m1sterrattles764]

David Regal has a version which uses something that cuts out the DL which is great for newbies who may not have the confidence in their DL. The spec can’t get handsy like Matt did at the end though. It’s in Constant Fooling 2 under a section labelled Something Other which is all about using a fairly rare commercially available something that takes the effort out of some card magic especially DL’s. Love the trick in all its variations and tend to use it after a couple of sleight tricks like finding a card, to up the ante. The colour change here is probably one of the biggest bangs for buck you can get in magic.

First card trick I ever learnt

[@SoCalDan530]

Classic fooler to this day

[@Tecom38415]

Not really tbh. If you look at any performance of this on social media for example Jeremy Tans is really good…. Everyone in the comments just reveals how it’s done

[@72A1D372]

Hidden gem? This is a quite popular trick.

[@Tecom38415]

The most exposed too
