Misprint 2.0 by Luke Dancy

Effect

Misprint 2.0 is a visual card trick where a magician shows a misprinted playing card, such as a queen of hearts with a printing error. The magician then fixes the misprint with a simple shake, making the card appear normal. The effect is quick, surprising, and works well as an opener or addition to a card routine.
