The Impossible Effect: What Your Audience Will See

Imagine this: A spectator freely thinks of any card – no forces, no ambiguity. The deck is then openly mixed, some cards face up, others face down, creating a seemingly chaotic mess. When the spectator finally reveals their thought-of card, the magic truly begins. From the jumbled deck, a single card with an odd-colored back inexplicably appears, and it's none other than their mentally selected card. This card is handed to them to hold. With a simple snap, the entire mixed deck instantly rights itself, all cards facing down. But the marvel doesn't stop there. In a breathtaking finale, the entire deck visually changes its back color to match that of the spectator's thought-of card, which they're still holding! The cards can then be dribbled, front and back, proving the complete transformation.

Original Specs

Spectrum is an improved handling of Paul Wilson's effect, Technicolor Cheek, which was marketed by Aldo Colombini for several years.



Last year, Aldo kindly returned the rights to Paul so he could release this handling. Technicolor Cheek was based on UF Grant's trick Cheek to Cheek.



A card is thought of (no force) and the deck is mixed, some cards face up and some cards face down. The spectator now reveals their card for the first time.



An odd colored back appears in the deck. It is removed and handed to the spectator to hold. The deck is clearly still mixed face up and face down. With a snap of the fingers the entire deck suddenly turns face down.



The odd backed card is turned over - it is the card the spectator simply thought of at the beginning of the effect!



To correct everything, the entire deck now changes color to match the thought of card and is shown FRONT and BACK as the cards are dribbled from hand to hand.



Spectrum is a super-powerful effect in its own right but is also an excellent way to open a card routine. Includes a simple effect that allows you to openly reset the deck in front of the audience.



Comes complete with gimmicked Bicycle deck* and a 28 page, step-by-step, full color photo instruction booklet.



*Product contains either a red or blue deck. Choice not an option.
