This Nick Trost classic is one of my favorite effects to perform while table hopping. It’s been marketed commercially as ‘Dot’s Impossible’, and I like it better than using standard playing cards… just more visual with the large dots. This effect, as taught by SCAM SCHOOL, is easy to learn and easy to perform, and I’ve found you can repeat it a second time, if need be, without giving away Marlo’s ‘secret’…. After the first ‘reveal’, I take the ‘odd’ card (lets say it’s the odd RED card), add it back to the bottom of the stack, take the top card and show it to be the opposite color (BLUE), and after a little mumbo-jumbo I wave my hand over the packet and show that ALL the cards in the packet have now changed to RED.. This double-kicker is what really completes the effect…   

This is one of those effects that’s been around for fifty years, yet the value of the effect on your audience is still strong. I highly recommend you try it on a spectator or two and watch their amazement…
