The Jokers prove to be the most influential cards in the deck during this amazing, multi-phase original routine from Elias D'Sastre.

Most people have probably heard that Jokers are wild, and can "represent" any card in a deck. But what if they could physically transform cards? With "The Influencers", they can!

A card is signed and lost in the deck (they could even shuffle the cards). The Jokers are then removed and the cards are spread face-down.

You name a card (let's say it's the Nine of Hearts) and invite your participant to pull a face-down card from the spread. This card is handed to you and is placed between the Jokers. With a magical twist, it becomes the Nine of Hearts.

Now, since they didn't see the face of the card before it changed, they could think that this was just luck. Maybe they did actually pull out the Nine of Hearts.

So, this card is placed to the side and you offer to repeat things with a new card (let's say the Ace of Clubs). However, this time, you clearly show the face of the incorrect card before putting it in-between the Jokers. Once again, the card magically turns into the correct one

For the last phase, you place another card between the Jokers. But you forget to name a suit and value, so the Jokers end up turning the card blank. This blank card is then placed back in-between the Jokers and your participant names the card they chose earlier. The cards are given one final twist and it's revealed that the blank card has now become their signed card.

"The Influencers" is direct, powerful, and super easy-to-do magic which ends with a souvenir that ensures they'll never forget you. It comes with red or blue Bicycle gimmicks that handle most of the hard work for you and allow you to handle the cards freely and fairly throughout the entire routine.
