Effect

Liner creates a visual and impossible transposition of two signed playing cards. A spectator signs a card, and another spectator signs a different card. Both cards are lost in the deck. The magician then causes the two signed cards to instantly swap places. The effect is clean, direct, and happens in the spectator's hands, making it highly baffling.
