Experience Jay Sankey's Photo Shock: A Visual Card Miracle
Prepare to astound your audience with 'Photo Shock,' a brilliant and highly visual card effect from the creative mind of Jay Sankey. Imagine this: you introduce a simple photograph, perhaps with a bill wrapped around it, promising a captivating experience. A spectator is then given an absolute free choice to select any playing card they wish—no forcing, no subtle manipulations, just pure freedom. This chosen card is left protruding from the deck, a clear, unmistakable choice.
The Double Impossibility Revealed
You explain that the photograph also depicts a playing card sticking out of a deck. Here's the kicker: if the card in the photo doesn't match their freely selected card, they get to keep the money. A daring challenge, indeed! However, upon revealing the photo, everyone sees the card in the picture is mysteriously face down. Just as the audience processes this twist, you perform a double impossibility. While the spectator holds the photo firmly, the card within it not only turns face up right before their eyes but also, against all odds, perfectly matches their previously selected card. The moment of revelation is powerful, leaving spectators breathless. What's more, the photograph can be meticulously examined, both before and after the magical transformation, leaving no trace of trickery.

Original Specs
The performer introduces a photograph with a bill wrapped around it. A playing card is freely selected (and it really is a free choice - they can touch ANY card they want.) The card is left sticking out of the pack and the performer explains that in the photo, there's also one card sticking out of a deck of cards. And if the card in the photo doesn't match the spectator's selected card, they get to keep the money. But when the photo is revealed, everybody sees that the card in the photo is face down! So, while the spectator holds the photo, the magician performs a double impossibility. Not only does the card in the photo turn face up, it also matches the freely selected card. And the photo CAN be closely examined.
But once you learn the secrets to the effect, you'll be able to perform the same amazing effect with ANY brand of cards in the world.
