A self-contained, pocket miracle from John Bannon.
"Entertaining, original and doubly surprising." Markobi, FISM Card Magic Champion
"'The Royal Scam' is a perfect, neat little package of yummy John Bannon goodness!" Harapan Ong
With just the 9 included specially-printed cards and no hard sleights, you can accomplish this fun and powerful piece of card magic. It's super easy and impossibly fooling.
You display a small packet of cards that are all Ace Of Spades. Through six increasingly staggering phases all of the cards in the packet of cards continually change their orientation. First they're all face down, then impossibly all face up. This is where most tricks would end.
But "The Royal Scam" has yet to unleash the truly impossible. Next, four of the discarded Aces are revealed to have different back designs—each one from a totally different deck!
While your spectator is reeling at this utter impossibility you'll be gearing up to unveil your real coup de grâce. The remaining five cards are then flipped face-up to reveal that they are not the generic Aces Of Spades they were expecting.
Instead, it's a fully examinable royal flush in spades!
"The Royal Scam" by John Bannon is everything you've come to love from the card magic legend. Brilliant economical handling, easy to master method, fully examinable cards, and multiple phases. You get a huge amount of magic from just the nine provided cards!
