Poker the magician way

A real pearl of ingenuity, this trick will allow you to approach in a surprising and magical way a deck that is becoming more and more popular: poker. Read the scenario and the following effect carefully, it is a real little bomb.

"Magicians don't play poker like everyone else. Instead of dealing 5 cards to each player, they only deal 5 unique cards to all players. Sir, would you like to become a magician for a game? Let me show you how this particular poker game is played.

You deal 5 cards from your deck and reveal a full house to the king by the queens.

"This is my deck. Not bad, is it? Your turn to reveal your hand, please."

You then put down the same 5 cards face down on the spectator's hand.

"Remember that you are a magician. Would you snap your fingers over your cards please? Hmmm. I sense that you are good. Really good."

You then turn all 5 cards over. The full house has turned into four of a kind jacks!

"Welcome to the mysterious world of magicians, sir!

No change, no suspicious sleight of hand and yet 4 cards will turn into the spectator's own hand!

Highlights:

- Fun and rewarding, this original and very visual trick allows the spectator to become a magician!

- Excellent solution to calm and valorize a possible troublemaker spectator.

- A creation of Dominique Duvivier.

- Bicycle quality cards.

- Totally automatic, no sleight of hand is necessary.
