THE hit of BLACKPOOL MAGIC CONVENTION 2023!

Licorice by Thomas Badar is an incredible visual and incomprehensible effect. It’s not for nothing that everyone in Blackpool was talking about this effect.

The effect:

You have a card selected and signed by the spectator. The card goes back into the middle of the deck and you take any two cards from the deck. You drop the cards and one by one you throw the two cards back into the deck. You spread out the deck, and you see that there is only one card between the two cards. You turn the card over and it turns out to be the spectator’s signed card.

But….. we continue…:

You now indicate that you can do this with every card in the deck! You’re going to try it with the highest card in the game (during poker): the Ace of Spades. The trick is repeated and any two cards are flipped face up and thrown into the deck. For a moment it seems to have failed, because not one, but five cards have ended up between the two cards. Fortunately, the Ace of Spades is among them. When the rest of the cards are turned over, it turns out to be not only the strongest card, but the strongest hand in poker: ROYAL FLUSH!
