Spin Cycle
Created by: Cameron Francis
Spin Cycle is a visually stunning close-up card trick that combines the challenge of finding four aces lost in a deck with the magical transformation of a selected ace into a spectator's chosen card. The routine, which can be performed impromptu with normal cards, involves a series of impossible appearances and reversals, culminating in a surprising reveal where one ace changes into the spectator's card. This trick is perfect for magicians looking to add a highly visual and interactive routine to their repertoire.

Cameron Francis masterfully combines 'Ace Thang' and 'Spin Cycle' into an impromptu, visually striking routine. 'Ace Thang' starts with a challenge to find four aces lost in the deck, which then appear in impossible spots. 'Spin Cycle' reinvents the Hofzinzer Ace Problem: a selected ace turns face up, the packet is cut into the deck, and with a twist, all aces turn face up except the selected one, which magically changes into a spectator's chosen card. The routine flows smoothly, uses normal cards, and is packed with visual surprises. Pros: No special cards needed, highly visual, and impromptu. Cons: Mastering the timing and sleights takes practice.
Takeaways:
- Combines two tricks into a seamless mini-set.
- Uses normal cards and is impromptu.
- Highly visual with a strong climax.
- Requires practice to perfect the timing and sleights.
