"Entertaining, original and doubly surprising."
- Markobi, Card Magic FISM Winner 2022

THE ROYAL SCAM - You display a small packet of cards that are all Ace Of Spades. Through six increasingly staggering phases this packet of cards keeps reversing it's orientation, first all face down, then impossibly all face up. Now most tricks would end there... but The Royal Scam has yet to unleash the truly impossible, because next four of the discarded Aces are revealed to have different back designs - each one from a totally different deck!

While your spectator is reeling at this utter impossibility you'll be gearing up to unveil your REAL coup de grâce, because the remaining five cards are then flipped faceup to reveal that they are not the generic Aces Of Spades they expected. Nope - those five cards are a fully examinable ROYAL FLUSH IN SPADES!

The Royal Scam is classic John Bannon - brilliant economical handling, easy to master method, fully examinable cards, multiple phases - a huge amount of magic from just the nine provided cards!

Where most routines come to an end, Bannon is just getting started.

  • A self contained pocket miracle. Uses just the nine provided cards (no deck required).
  • The 9 specially printed cards (on beautiful USPCC stock) are supplied in a wallet for easy transport.
  • Easy to do. No hard sleights.
  • No extra cards or sticky stuff
  • Totally examinable. End 100% clean with nothing to hide.
  • Impossibly fooling.
  • Packaged in a beautiful faux-hardback book - just right to slip onto your shelf and protect your set of gaff cards!

This is a great effect. Second only to Chop Shop in my opinion. I carry these two everywhere I go and have yet to not fool or at least entertain the masses. Highly recommend it and it is so easy to do. Don't let the OPECC distress you, watch the video to the end to understand fully how it is done.

You can’t go wrong with this packet trick. Like all the others, John really makes the impossible happen. I owned this for many years, then it went out of print making it hard to replace old cards. The newer version of the effect makes learning this routine easy. Do yourself a favor and get two.
Thanks John

In the beginning, this seemed intimidating. The explanation video goes fast AT FIRST but that seems to be intended for seasoned magicians. When I first bought this about a year ago, it actually turned me off to it. I have since gained more skill in performance and now I revisited it with a renewed sense of appreciation. This trick is worth the money, and I recommend it because you learn a lot of useful sleights. If you're new to magic, this is a good trick to pick up. Just stick with it. Keep practicing and you'll see the benefits. This is not a gimmicked deck either, so you end clean and it blows the spectator's mind.

This Trick is like a movie. Full of punches. It raises the bar with each levels and in the end everything is examinable. With little practice it burns spectators brains.

Not one review under 5 stars and its east to see why. I hope this won't suffer the same fate as Sympatheric Aces. Takes some practice but is worth every penny. Special Kudos to John Bannon. Simply brilliant!

This is a packet trick on steroids... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 16th, 2023
I gave a 5 star rating because of how incredibly amazing this magic is, but I must admit that this is magic is for "the advanced magician" in card handling. The tutorial is rather short and "to the point" but nonetheless, the tutorial was strait to the point and teaches you every sleight.
