Hey everyone,
I'm more of a decks collector than a person that performs illusions with cards, I love watching illusions with cards, but I've been very curious about this specific one that was done to me.
I hope you don't take it negatively for asking, all I ask is if you could point me in the right direction, maybe this illusion has a name, or you could point me to a book that would be worth reading to understand the illusion, I want to know more about it.
First things first, I did check the deck before hand, there's a particular thing about this deck is that all the backs of the cards are from different decks, no two backs are the same to prevent people from saying that the magician changed the card. Indeed all the cards had different ranks and suits (doubled checked).
As normal I was asked to pick a card from the deck, I got a King of diamonds, another friend was asked to pick another card, and as we came to discover it was also a king of diamonds, now I'm looking at the two cards and I definitely missed something, as the magician grabs the deck and spreads it across the table, and says "that's amazing that both of you got the same cards as this deck is built only of aces" and turns all the cards up and there's only aces.
My question remains unanswered in how was it possible to change the deck with different cards to just aces?
All my online research points me to "Svengali Deck" but this was no Svengali move, the cards were on the table and I touched them.
Thank you for your time,
David
