Bizarre Twist is card routine by Paul Harris that first appeared in Paul Harris Reveals Some of his Most Intimate Secrets (1976). It was included in his compilation Art of Astonishment, Vol. 1 (1996).
Synopsis
Two face down red cards are used to sandwich a face down black card which is positioned at a right angle (crosswise) to the red ones. The cards are twisted and the black card visibly turns from face down to face up. This is repeated and on the third turn the back visibly changes to a different color.
