The trick in a nutshell<\/h2>\n

Thanks to the magical arrangement of the deck, you can show the audience the queens of hearts one moment and the other cards the next. This is one of those tricks that makes a huge impression on the audience.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Preparing the trick<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. The deck consists of 54 cards: 27 long and 27 short (all the short cards are queens of hearts), with each short card being 1 mm shorter than a long one.<\/li>\n
  2. Arrange the long and short cards alternately: short \u2013 long \u2013 short \u2013 long (i.e. Queen of Hearts, regular card, Queen of Hearts, regular card, etc.).<\/li>\n
  3. Each short card (Queen of Hearts) has an empty star in the top left corner of the back, which helps with identification.<\/li>\n
  4. The surface of the cards has been specially treated so that the increased friction between the front of the short cards and the back of the long cards ensures they lie flush against each other. The entire deck should be arranged in the correct order \u2013 one long card, one short card.<\/li>\n
  5. Before each performance, tap the deck lightly on the table to align the cards and prepare them for use.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    The performance<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Each card on the front is different.<\/li>\n
    2. Every card on the back is the Queen of Hearts.<\/li>\n
    3. Arrange the deck as described in the section \u2018Preparing the trick\u2019 and tap it lightly against the table.<\/li>\n
    4. Hold the cards in your left hand, face up. Spread the deck to the right, showing it to the audience.<\/li>\n
    5. Turn your wrist so that the deck is face down, ask someone from the audience to choose a card and not to show it to you.<\/li>\n
    6. The spectator will choose the card with the empty star, i.e. the Queen of Hearts. Say the magic spell and guess the card \u2013 the Queen of Hearts!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
