There are no moves and the spectator is convinced they have a free choice with each phase of the routine. And yet they always choose the crazy Karate Kard that reeks havoc on the rest of the cards  There are no tricky or hidden moves and if you follow the clear directions Alan lays out for you the effect pretty much works itself. This effect is precisely and beautifully made and something quite different.\" - \u003cstrong\u003eAndy Martin (Martins Magic)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePOSSIBLY THE SMALLEST PIECE OF WOODEN CARD APPARATUS IN THE WORLD!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEffect: \u003c\/strong\u003eA small wooden box contains two packs of patience cards, one red-backed, the other blue. One of these packs (say, the blue-backed one) is selected by a spectator and removed from the box. Next, the spectator chooses (and notes) a card from this pack and his selected card is then placed in the box in front of the red-backed pack. The blue-backed pack is then replaced in the box alongside the red-backed pack and the lid is put on the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe performer now states that the blue-backed card selected by the spectator will find its matching mate in the red-backed pack, and the spectator is asked to name his card. On hearing the spectator’s choice, the performer (acting suitably horrified!) announces that this particular card is a very violent and unpredictable one known as the ‘Karate Kard’ and that he has no idea now what will happen inside the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemoving the lid from the box, the performer reveals that \u003cstrong\u003eTHE RED-BACKED PACK HAS APPARENTLY VANISHED\u003c\/strong\u003e with the exception of two cards – the spectator’s blue-backed card and one red-backed card.
