Fred Trick
From Magicpedia, the free online encyclopedia for magicians by magicians.
Fred Trick was the card routine created by Fred Lowe (with Paul Marcus) originally called "Christened Reverse". It was seen by Dave Campbell in 1971 who developed a different method to create "Fred the card" trick (as a dedication to Fred Lowe).
It reinvented years later by Trevor Duffy as "Phil" the card trick.
