I have been working on this idea for several years, tweaking and re tweaking it. Finally, it's ready to go.
Two cards are removed from a small wallet. one has a red back and one a blue back. Both cards are folded into Quarters. NOTHING IS ADDED or STOLEN AWAY. You SIMPLY FOLD THE 2 SAME CARDS. The cards are placed behind your back and mixed around. The spectator is asked to guess which hand has the RED CARD and which has the BLUE CARD. Obviously, this is just a guess as both cards are hidden in the hands.
You offer to make this a lot easier, both folded cards are placed in the left hand. The red card is openly removed. Now there is no guess as they can see the red card. Without any cover the cards VISUALLY CHANGE PLACES. You really have to see this to believe your eyes.
You offer to repeat this a 2nd time. Now you openly remove the blue folded card. Once again, they change places.
Next you offer to show them how this works. The red card is removed. Leaving the blue folded card in the closed hand. the red card is simply touched on the back of the hand, the 2 cards instantly change places.
Now for the killer climax. You state obviously I cannot show you both cards at the same time. As this is said you show the 2 cards, the red in the right hand and the blue in the left hand. now it's impossible as they can see both cards. The hands never hide the cards or come together. Visually the 2 cards change places.
The 2 folded cards are shown on all sides. They are unfolded, shown back and front and put away in the wallet, all reset and ready for your next performance.
No flaps - no magnets or magnetic pieces. ONLY 2 CARDS. Nothing added or stolen away.
YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS TO BELIEVE IT!

What people are saying
Quartet is a great visual effect that really is accomplished with only two cards. And it’s perfect for just spur of the moment magic. It’s a really clever and deceptive color change that is incredibly practical. You are set to perform it at will. Love simple things that look like real magic. Interesting that the official demo doesn’t really due it justice. It’s a little hard to follow and doesn’t let you really see its visual potential. Scroll down and watch the other demo by co-owner of TnT Magic Tom Thacker. His simple but more effective handling is a more magical presentation. If I had only seen the first demo I would have not been all that interested in the effect. But Tom lets you see how good it actually is. Also I’m always a little leary of playing cards with movable parts. Quartet is well made and very durable. As I said it’s very deceptive, but there are those that want to examine everything. Well you do it as many times as you like and on your last time it’s going right into both pockets. If they wish to see it just come right out with the folded dupes. But before they can open their mouth they are in your pocket being switched. Either way they won’t have a clue. Steve R
Hi Steve! Thank you for your terrific review! I thought the same thing about Tom's performance! The idea of watching just the red card is a very minor change but it really does make a huge difference. When people try to watch multiple things it gets complicated and people forget. Tom didn't try that at all, he changed it to 'Watch the Red Card'. That is so much better. Of course I coudn't say that myself, I'm biased, but now that you said it, I'll go along with you! He did a great job! Thank you for your reviews. I look forward to reading them! They are great! - Ron Teitelbaum
