Instant Switch is the clever brainchild of Henry Evans, crafted from his award-winning FISM act.
Prepare for a dazzling opener that’s as visual as it gets, featuring two decks. The cheeky part? The effect’s clever structure allows you to shuffle the red deck to your heart's content, proving it’s genuinely mixed. But wait—once the trick’s done, that red deck is in the precise order you fancy (be it ace to king or a mnemonic order, take your pick).
So not only is this a striking and straightforward opener, but it also sets the stage brilliantly for whatever comes next in your magic set.
Effect:
You’ll show two decks (one blue, one red). The red deck undergoes a thorough riffle shuffle whilst you chat up the audience about the impossibility of knowing the order after such shuffling (because, let’s be honest, we’ve all been there).
Then, you casually mention that some card sharks can swap a whole deck without anyone batting an eyelid. To demonstrate, the red deck gets tucked under a handkerchief, and you whip out the blue deck from its box.
And just like that—bam!—the blue deck morphs into the red deck right before their very eyes, leaving the blue deck lounging under the handkerchief.
