The Astonishing Effect
Imagine this: you openly display the Ace, Two, Three, and Four of a chosen suit, perhaps Clubs, arranging them in a perfect square on your performance surface. With a flourish, you cover two of these regular cards with two 'jumbo cards.' What happens next will leave your spectators wide-eyed. One by one, in an utterly impossible fashion, all the individual cards visibly vanish from their original spots and magically assemble themselves under just one of the jumbo cards. The impossibility intensifies when you try to repeat the 'assembly' without the aid of the jumbo cards, only to find that the regular cards remain stubbornly still, highlighting the magical nature of the first phase. For the grand finale, you slowly turn over three of the cards, revealing them to be completely blank. The final, remaining card? It's the Ten of Clubs—the precise sum of the original Ace, Two, Three, and Four! A truly clever and unforgettable piece of magic.
