Instant Switch (Blue) by Henry Evans

Make a striking opening with Instant Switch (Blue) by Henry Evans: after the audience sees the red deck shuffled, it changes places with the blue deck in a moment. The visual switch gives you a memorable way to begin a card routine and lead into what comes next.

• Two-deck transposition: The blue deck appears where the red deck was, while the blue deck is found beneath the handkerchief.
• Shuffled-deck presentation: Riffle shuffle the red deck several times as you build up the impossibility of knowing its order.
• Useful follow-up: The red deck is left in a chosen order, such as ace to king or a memorized stack.
• Included: A blue/red double-back deck, a flap Joker that changes from blue to red, and a handkerchief.
• What you add: The routine requires your own deck.

Use the shuffle and gambler-themed presentation to draw everyone into the moment before the visual change. The ordered red deck can also set up the card effects that follow.
