2wo Faced by David Forrest

Effect

The 2wo Faced trick by David Forrest creates a surprising visual transformation. A spectator sees a playing card with one face value. The magician then reveals that the card has changed to a completely different face value on both sides. The transformation happens clearly and visibly, with no hidden moves or awkward angles.

Full details

2wo Faced is a card magic trick that uses a standard deck of playing cards. It requires no special gimmicks or setup. The method is entirely sleight-based. The trick allows the magician to show both sides of the card before and after the change. It is designed for close-up performances and can be done surrounded. The routine is short and direct, making it suitable for quick, impactful moments during a set.

Who should consider the trick

This trick is ideal for magicians who perform close-up magic with playing cards. It suits performers who want a visual transformation that is easy to carry and requires no extra props. Street magicians, restaurant workers, and hobbyists who enjoy sleight of hand will find it practical. It is also good for those who prefer methods that use ordinary cards.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

The trick requires intermediate skill with card handling. It involves specific sleights that need practice to perform smoothly.
