Re-Set
Re-Set is a card routine by Paul Harris first published in Super Magic(1977), later reprinted in Art of Astonishment, Vol. 1 (1996). A similar plot was previously created by Brother John Hamman's as Underground Transposition published in Jon Racherbaumer's magazine Kabbala, Vol. 1, no. 7, 1972. (Credit was given when republished in Art of Astonishment.)
Synopsis
4 aces and 4 jacks are shown. Jacks are placed on the table and the aces are held in the hands. One at a time the aces change places with the jacks (we can call that a Slow-motion Transposition). For a kicker ending the four jacks instantly "reset" and become aces once again.
Variations
- Twisted Reset By Jon Racherbaumer in Good Turns (1977).
