The Dual-Phase Spectacle

The journey begins with a selected card, seemingly lost within the deck. In a moment of pure magic, it vanishes, only to reappear impossibly between two 7's held by an unsuspecting spectator. The initial gasp gives way to outright astonishment as the trick then reverses! With the deck now in a spectator's hands, and the two 7's (with a face-down selection between them) in another's, the card again vanishes. But this time, it makes its final, shocking appearance back inside the deck, discovered by the spectator holding it. This double-layered vanish and reappearance creates an unforgettable, impossible sequence that feels genuinely magical.

Original Specs

One card is selected and lost back into the deck. The card is held in the spectators hand whilst the performer takes the two 7's from the deck, placing these in a different spectators hand. The selection is lost back into the deck before it vanishes and appears inside the 7's. This is then repeated but in reverse! The deck is held by the spectator and the 7's with a face down selection in between are shown. Suddenly, the selection vanishes and is found inside the deck held by the spectator.
