Follow the Leader is a classic plot in card magic where some red cards and some black cards are placed face down in two piles. As the top cards are turned face up and switched, the pile of the face down cards are shown to have followed with them.
In 1929 Faucett Ross came upon a letter from amateur German magician Dr. Reinhard Rohnstein to Ottokar Fischer describing this effect and showed it to Dai Vernon.
Dai published it in "Five Close-Up Problems" (1933) and is also included in "Early Vernon" book.
