A masterful routine of visual magic! Six cards, shown blank on both sides, are dealt out in pairs. As each pair is picked up and pushed through the performer’s hand, winning cards for various games are “printed” visually:
• Two red Threes for Canasta
• The Ten of Diamonds and the Two of Spades (Big and Little Casino) for Casino
• An Ace and Ten — 21 — for Blackjack
The face of one card then vanishes leaving a five-card Poker hand. The hand is worthless, however, but when the cards are pushed through the hand, the Poker hand changes to Four-of-a-Kind!

Overview
The Magi shows a packet of six blank cards to the spectator. They are dealt down on a table and each set of cards magically becomes a card with a face. Each pair is a winning hand for a different game, such as a blackjack (Ace and 10). The performer then remarks that there are too many cards for blackjack and one of the cards become a double blank card again. Then, when the cards are shown, they are a weak poker hand. With a twist and an abracadbra, the 5 remaining cards becomes a winning poker hand with four of a kind.The cards can't be inspected, not even a little, but this is a quick, one, two, three and you are done!
A strong packet trick and for $10 bucks a great deal.
Effect
As explained above, the effect if a series of changing cards with a great gambling patter. Its many phases makes it fun to watch and to perform.Method
The method relies upon specially printed cards that cannot be handed out and need to be set up in a certain orientation before you bust out the apparently double-blank cards.Product Quality
The quality of the cards is good and the quality of the instruction in the two page pamphlet is also clear and east to understand.Ad Copy Integrity
