Cloning by David Ayres and The Old Oak Playing Cards

Make a selected card vanish from a red deck, then bring it back with a startling change of color. In Cloning, David Ayres builds to a visual sequence in which the deck appears to take on the identity of the spectator’s card.

• Card vanishes: After a spectator selects a card, you spread the red deck and their choice is gone.
• Surprising reappearance: The missing card is found in a phone case or wallet, now with a blue back.
• Deck-wide transformation: The card’s identity spreads through the deck before the cards return to their original variety.

The changing colors and matching cards give you a clear visual arc, from the initial disappearance to the final restoration.
