I have collected a very rich set of court card effects. Such cards offer opportunities that number
cards don't-in my view, because court cards have people on them, thus lending greater opportunities
to explain their 'behavoirs'. More, court cards are simply more visually interesting. Antique decks
from Europe have such cards as full blown works of art. Now, this effect by Matt Pilcher,
capitalizes on the quirk of 4 court cards that look in a direction that the other 8 don't. Something
which I never thought twice about. This quirk is now presentable as an actual effect. It could stand
on it's own- but I see adding it to my repertoire of court card effects. Simply I love the novelty
of it! I Had the same positive response to Dan Haus's Sleeping Queen. Matt's m.o. here will be
familiar in a general sense. Nonetheless, the how within the how, is quite helpful and has
additional applications. Spectators won't know how this mystery is accomplished. It's one of those
'wish I'd thought of it' effects.
A novel and very unique little effect. And...easy to make and
perform. Well shot and explained.
