How to Do the Color Changing Deck Trick

-
-

Amaze your friends with your ability to change the colors of all of the cards in a deck.

Step 1: Arrange deck so the cards all show one color
Arrange the deck of cards so that all of the red sides of the cards are face up and the blue sides are face down.

Tip
Double-backed decks can be purchased at most magic shops, or make your own by gluing together two different colored decks, face to face.

Step 2: Fan the cards with the red backs showing
Place the stack of cards on a table. Fan them out without turning the cards over so that your audience can see that the backs of all of the cards are red.

Step 3: Restack the cards
Un-fan the cards so that they are stacked neatly. Say "Watch closely as I change these cards from red to blue."

Step 4: Pick deck up the palm of your hand
Carefully pick the whole deck of cards up in the palm of your hand, with the red backs touching your palm.

Tip
Be careful not to let your audience see the bottom of your deck when you're picking it up.

Step 5: Turn your palm over
Quickly turn your palm over so that the blue backs are now face up. The palm of your hand should be pointing up.

Step 6: Fan the deck of cards with the blue backs up
Let the deck of cards slide onto the table from your palm, so that the blue backs are showing. Fan the cards to show that all of the cards are now blue.

Did You Know?
The color wheel was invented by Isaac Newton.

When I found out this video WASN'T a joke a thought to myself, "do they think i'm fucking stupid?" Congratulations Howcast, you helped me to relive my memories of preschool.

Please tell me this is a Joke. Please. Please.

[brannonmorrison]

Pay no attention to the fact that I have to use both of my hands to pick up my abnormally thick deck.

"Quickly turn your palm"? That could work at a party, where everyone is drunk...

[jordanmodel]

This isn't magic. This is just like saying, "Here I have a piece of paper with writing on it, watch closely" (turns piece of paper over) "AND THE WRITING HAS MAGICALLY DISAPEARED"
