Surprise is the name of the game in magic, and what better way to keep your audience on their toes than by changing the back design of a well-used deck of playing cards? This cheeky plot has been a staple for many a master magician over the years — think Dai Vernon, Edward Marlo, and Paul Curry, just to name a few — and their genius has undoubtedly made its way into shows all over the globe.
On this DVD, you’ll be treated to seven performers, each with their own quirky twist on this magical masterpiece. Bill Malone kicks things off with his take on Ed Marlo's classic, where the backs of three chosen cards change colour, followed by the rest of the deck joining the party. Then, Harry Lorayne wows us with his version that even includes an astonishing vanish of the entire deck after that jaw-dropping colour change. Michael Ammar gives us a cheeky nod to Dai Vernon’s Colour-Changing Deck, while Johnny Thompson showcases Paul Curry and Oscar Weigle’s original creation. Boris Wild adds a splash of flair with a routine that flaunts three different colours! The legendary Derek Dingle brings his classic routine, cleverly mixing Vernon’s Triumph with the Colour-Changing Deck, and John Mendoza wraps things up with his own take, where three selected cards change colour just before the entire deck follows suit.
The Linking Ring's Phil Willmarth once said, "Colour-changing deck routines are strong and an ideal way to start a programme of card effects." And honestly, after watching this DVD, you could argue that they’re also a brilliant finish! I mean, what could be more impressive than transforming the colour of an entire deck?
