Full details
Back 2 Front is a packet trick that relies on a series of visual changes to create its effect. The trick involves a small number of cards or other elements that undergo multiple transformations. The changes are designed to be quick and seamless, making it appear as though the cards are changing on their own. The trick is known for its visual appeal, but it does require some handling to execute properly.
Who should consider the trick
Back 2 Front is suitable for magicians who enjoy visual tricks and are comfortable with packet handling. It is ideal for performers who want to add a quick, visually impressive effect to their repertoire. However, it may not be the best choice for those who prefer tricks that are entirely self-working or require minimal handling.
Information on how difficult it is to perform
Back 2 Front is moderately difficult to perform. It requires some skill in packet handling and timing to execute the changes smoothly. The trick also relies on frustration counts, which can be challenging to master. While it is not the most difficult trick, it does require practice to perform convincingly.
