Two cards, undeniably in your hands, instantly change places with those held by someone else! It just doesn't get any more direct.

PROS
An excellent gimmicked version of Dr Daley’s Last Trick. Why the need for a gimmicked version? Because it is so powerful. You place two fives in the participants hands. You show two kings in your hand. Without touching their cards, your cards turn into fives and their cards turn into Kings.
Another great thing about this effect is if you were to purchase a commonly available magic deck of cards, an additional regular deck of cards, and something available at most any office supply store, you would have a lifetime supply of refills.
CONS
One negative is he doesn’t talk at all about how to clean up after the trick. So, because this is such a great effect, here are a few thoughts:
1. At the beginning, ring in the gimmick card in a regular deck. Keep a regular five to match the gimmick on top of the deck. Grasp the cards with your right hand with the gimmick on top and palm the gimmick as you grab the deck. Hand the deck to someone and ask them to shuffle the deck. Present another card effect.
2. Go into the pocket with all the cards to come out with a pen for another effect and in the pocket, ditch the gimmick.
3. place the cards in the pocket and do a different effect, such as a coin effect.
4. If you do this as you last effect, simply box up the cards and pocket them. You could slide the gimmick to the outside of the box as you box up the cards and place the box of cards and the gimmick in your pocket. If anyone asks for the deck of cards, you simply bring out the box and leave the gimmick behind, in your pocket.
Also, while you can do Dr Daley’s Last Trick with a regular deck of cards, you can’t do it as miraculously as is done with this effect.
VERDICT
A really wonderful version of a classic effect. Even though he didn’t cover how to clean up after the effect, this is such a powerful effect and I have given four ideas on how to clean up. In spite of that omission, because of the strength of the effect, I have given this five stars.

This is among my favorite packet tricks, though you needn't play it that way. Simply stash the "gimmick" in the deck and fan through looking for the cards you need, remove them and proceed according to the instructions (now comes with a DVD). This is easy, direct, and gets great reactions from the audience and well worth the price.

It had to happen. A juced up version of Dr. Daly's 4 card trick. This is a good thing though. You start by showing 2 different pairs of cards, either fanned or spread. The cards can be handled very freely. The 1st pair is shown and dealt face down onto the table. The 2nd pair is shown and also dealt face down. The last pair is then truned face to face. Even though the instructions don't suggest this, I personally think the same handleling should apply to the first pair, also. For a good transition effect, I think the two pairs of cards should be put into separate envelopes, marked with the name of the pairs contained then procede with a mind-numbing transiton! You will get reactions with this one....Very visual and easy to perform. ......Great trick!!!
