The magic happens when all cards change color, revealing the trick's clever twist. PigCake walks through the setup, which needs just one odd card and a matching deck, and suggests performing on a table for the best visual impact. The tutorial highlights the importance of subtlety to avoid giving away the secret and teaches the Vernon-esque three-way force for a smooth card selection.
