Kaleidoscope Cards - New and Improved

We're just finishing up a run of Kaleidoscope Cards here at the Fun factory - a new and improved version of this classic impossible coincidence effect.

For the uninitiated, here's a rundown of what a spectator sees: You and a spectator each select two a card from a deck made up of more than 50 different back designs. Amazingly, the backs of the chosen cards match! Even better, the faces of the selected cards match, too! The triple whammy comes at the end of the trick, when you explain that of all the cards that could be chosen, you and your spectator chose the only ones that were different. When you turn the deck over, all of the rest of the faces are the same card, a different value than the ones chosen by the two of you!

For years, Fun has manufactured this effect - which is virtually self-working - with bridge-sized cards. We're now making them with poker size cards, and at a very reasonable price.
