Interchange by Peter Nardi

Created by: Peter Nardi

Interchange is a visually stunning close-up card magic trick where four aces and four kings perform an impossible transposition right before the spectator's eyes. The trick begins with the aces tucked into pockets, only for the kings to transform into them moments later, creating a clean and examinable finish. It's a highly practical effect that can be performed with a keychain-based setup or as a standalone card routine, featuring multiple applications including a signed card variation and iChange Kickback. Buyers should note that it includes four custom gimmicked cards (limited to red-backed Bicycle design) and requires practice for smooth execution.
