Instant Switch (Red) by Henry Evans

Open with a startling card transformation: after the red-backed deck is riffle shuffled, you cover it with a handkerchief and show the blue-backed deck. In an instant, the deck in your hands is red, while the blue deck is now beneath the handkerchief.

• Visual opener: Henry Evans created Instant Switch as the opener for his FISM-winning act.
• Shuffled deck: The red deck is riffle shuffled multiple times as you build the impossibility of knowing its order.
• Useful follow-through: After the effect, the red deck can be in an order you choose, such as ascending order or a memorized stack.
• Included: A double-back blue/red deck, a flap Joker that changes from blue to red, and a handkerchief.

You’ll need to add your own deck. The ordered red deck also gives you a strong starting point for the card effects that follow.
