It's designed for maximum impact with minimal fuss, ensuring you can focus on your presentation and connect with your audience.
The Magical Journey
Imagine this: a spectator freely selects a card from a red-backed deck, which is then lost back into the pack. You introduce four blue-backed cards, all with blank faces. With a mischievous grin, you declare, 'I'm going to use these blank cards to tell me what your card ISN'T!' One by one, the blank faces magically print, revealing the mates of the selected card. 'These three cards,' you explain, 'tell me what it ISN'T. But this last blank will tell me what your card IS—it will change places with your card in the deck!' A flick, a momentary pause, and then the reveal: the blank card now has a red back! Spreading the deck, a single blue-backed card stands out—it's the spectator's chosen card, now impossibly transposed! A truly inexplicable moment of magic.
Unlocking Your Potential
Cameron Francis has masterfully crafted 'What It Isn't' to be both deceptive and incredibly easy to perform. This comprehensive 14-page manuscript, richly illustrated with 21 photographs, guides you through every step. You'll gain access to two distinct handlings of the effect. One brilliant approach uses ordinary playing cards, making it incredibly practical for any environment. The other introduces the ingenious 'CF Switch' to the magic world—a novel method for switching one card for another while leaving the switched-out card cleverly reversed within the deck. This versatile switch alone is a valuable addition to any magician's arsenal. With quick resets, you're always ready for your next performance.

Effect
From a red backed deck， a card is selected and lost back into the pack. Four blue backed cards are introduced – they all have blank faces. The magician announces： "I'm going to use these blank cards to tell me what your card ISN'T!" One by one， the magician magically prints the blanks with the faces of the mates of the selection! "These three cards， tell me what it ISN'T. This last blank is going to tell me what your card IS – it will change places with your card in the deck!" The magician gives the last blank a flick – nothing happens. "Oh， I actually only made the backs change places!" The blank card is turned over and it now has a red back! The deck is spread， and one card has changed to blue – it is of course the selected card!
INCLUDES TWO SEPERATE HANDLINGS – ONE OF WHICH USES ORDINARY CARDS AND INTRODUCES THE 'CF SWITCH' TO THE MAGIC WORLD – A METHOD FOR SWITCHING ONE CARD FOR ANOTHER WHILE LEAVING THE SWITCHED OUT CARD REVERSED IN THE DECK!
