Four Kings Routine

The Four Kings Routine is a captivating close-up card trick where the magician starts with all four kings face up. With a snap, one king mysteriously turns face down, and this happens repeatedly until all kings are face down. The magician then asks a spectator to name any king, and with another snap, the named king turns face down. The trick culminates in a surprising revelation where the spectator's initially chosen card transforms into the named king, creating a moment of astonishment. This trick is perfect for magicians looking to add a visually stunning and interactive card routine to their repertoire.
