In 2007 I released this color change, "Materialize" into the magic community on my Volume 1 "Materialize" DVD. This routine has been a staple in my routine for the past 20 years and is my most requested piece when at conventions.

The spectator sees the magician ribbon spread the deck freely. He then cuts the deck and makes one ace magically appear by lightly rubbing the deck in a circular motion. This ace then materializes into the second ace while the first one has disappeared. This ace then changes into the third ace and finally the last ace. As a finale one ace is shown separate from the deck and it morphs into all 4 aces.

Throughout the entire routine there are subtleties that prove that only one ace has "materialized" while the others have vanished. It is VERY convincing.

Keep in mind that this can also be done with multiple spectator selections as a variation.
