All he had to do was change the bottom card though right?

[u/TheManWithTheFlan]

You can buy this trick at any magic shop, his execution was great but its a pretty simple trick.

This is a great trick! Do you happen to know the name of the song that plays as the magic trick is revealed?

Slight of hand of a single card to bottom. He needs to rotate the card though. Little man was drawn on both sides of the card. If you look at the face down cards in the very back, you can see the head of another little man. Also, on the 7 of hearts you can see the hat of the other little man. The other little man side of the card has all of the cards value.

That's my best guess.

Like most closeup magic, at a distance and with slo-mo it is easily explainable. Sure. No doubt.

But when I watched this at full speed, the first time, my jaw dropped. Its a great twist on a classic trick, and it is beautifully executed on a big stage. Absolutely brilliant. I loved it.

Magic is all about the experience and he delivered, 100%.
