Description
Effect for Transprint: The magician shows a packet of four cards, clearly displaying the threes — one of each suit. He shows another packet of four cards, but these are blank. All eight cards have red backs. As the separate packets are repeatedly re-counted, the threes and blanks magically jump — one by one — over to the other packet. When only one three (spades) is left to jump, it vanishes from the three packet, leaving the expected four blanks. But when the other packet is shown, there is still one blank in it. Apparently the Three of Spades did not work correctly — the mystery is solved when it is realized that Three of Spades has jumped to the BACK of the last blank card, instead of the face!
All the cards can be examined at the end if you wish.
As a bonus the Emerson & West packet trick called Add IX is included. The effect is as follows:
Three number cards are shown. One card has the number “1” another card has the number “2” and the third card has number ‘3″. The performer asks, “How much is three, plus two, plus one?” The spectator answers six. Magically a number “6” appears! That leaves a number “1’ and “2”. The performer asks, “How much is one plus two?” The spectator answers three. The number “3” reappears. “How much is three plus six?”, the performer asks. The spectator answers nine. A number “9” appears. “Now for the bonus question”, says the performer. “How much is nine plus six?” The spectator answers fifteen. And for the big surprise, the number “15” appears!
