Color Changing Deck Routine by Craig Petty

Created by: Craig Petty

The color-changing deck routine is a captivating close-up card trick where the magician demonstrates the difference between sleight of hand and real magic. Starting with a seemingly ordinary deck, the magician finds the four aces through sleight of hand, then transitions to real magic by rubbing the aces, causing the entire deck to change color, except for the aces, which then transform into the only cards left unchanged. The trick concludes with the deck returning to normal, leaving the audience in awe. This trick requires a double backer and is perfect for walk-around or table magic.
