One of the key elements that makes magic entertaining is that of surprise and one of the ways that magicians have accomplished that over the years is to take a deck of playing cards that have been in use and magically change the back design color. Numerous masters of close-up magic have turned their creativity to this plot - Dai Vernon, Edward Marlo and Paul Curry are just a few of the many - and the results have been finding their way into the commercial repertoires of magicians ever since.
You'll meet seven different performers, each with their own take on this miracle of card magic.
