Takes a classic trick to a surprising new level!
Show your spectators a row of five jumbo playing cards.What is interesting is that the cards are really printed as one solid piece- the cards can't move around.Point out that there is a RED QUEEN card in the middle, with two black suit cards on either side of it.Hand your spectator a clip.Turn the cards over so the backs are showing.Ask your spectator to put the clip on the RED QUEEN card.He will naturally put the clip on the card that is in the middle.However, when you turn the cards face up again-the clip is on one of the BLACK suit cards instead!Let him try again and again- he will not be able to do it!
But wait- that's not all!Giving the spectator one last try, you ask him again to CLIP THE QUEEN.He can't fail, because when you turn the cards over-All the cards have changed into a SINGLE JUMBO RED QUEEN!
