Perform a visual transformation of a card that leaves your audience with an impossible object. With just a touch of the finger, the index of a card changes from the wrong card to the selected card, eliciting a wild reaction. From the mind of one of the youngest people Penn & Teller ever fooled, this is Diamond Cutter by Amanda Nepo.

Here’s what happens:

The magician has selected a card and then lost it in the deck. The magician snaps her fingers and then triumphantly reveals… the wrong card. It’s the five of diamonds, even though the audience’s chosen card was actually the three of diamonds—so close! In an attempt to fix the situation, the magician tears off the bottom two diamonds, leaving three diamonds on the torn card, but the index, of course, remains a five. Then, at an impossible moment, the magician rubs the card’s face, and the five turns into a three, leaving the torn card with the correct face and number of pips, even though the entire face was just shown as the five. Everything is inspectable.

Diamond Cutter comes with 27 gimmicks that you can use right away to perform. This effect is fantastic as a standalone piece or as a kicker for your favorite card routine. The method is super easy to do, and the unusual configuration of the pips on the card at the end of the routine gives your audience not only a great souvenir but also a wonderful conversation starter. You’ll love the creativity involved in the pip change, and you’ll learn a new concept you’ll want to incorporate into your other card effects. Get amazing reactions as you snatch an incredible transformation from the jaws of defeat with Diamond Cutter by Amanda Nepo.
