Full Deck Color Change

This is basic.

A regular deck, a blank card, and mastering the reverse fan.

And that's it. 😊

It's not rocket science; just keep practicing the reverse fan (and also have a solid palm or Pass for switching between a regular deck and a blank one, and vice-versa).

First off, apologies for the late reply, but I've been swamped with work, and when I'm not working, I'm with my daughter. So, lately I've had almost no time to just sit quietly in front of the computer.

Which I've finally done now, so I could watch the video several times.

Right off the bat, I don't think he uses any Pass for that color change. He inserts the card into the middle of the deck (the deck supposedly face up) and then turns the deck over.

If I had to "imitate him" (without knowing how it's done), I think the top card (when he turns it over) is a flap card for the color change, and the rest of the deck (or most of it) consists of blue/red double-backed cards.

When he offers the spectator a card for selection, if you count, he only deals out 26 cards.

And when the spectator picks up the card, she moves them around and you can see they're blue backs.

So, I'm guessing those are normal cards and that he then switches out the deck for a complete one with double-backed cards and the flap.

Still, those red backs "look strange."

Either way, he does it really well.

And this is the quick analysis I can offer offhand (I haven't had much time to investigate further than a few minutes while eating dinner 😅)

Hopefully someone else will chime in.

Cheers!!!

If you look at playing cards, you'll notice the indices are only in two corners: the top-left and bottom-right (unless it's a left-handed deck, where they're reversed). When you fan the cards from left to right, you see the indices and suits (the top-left corner is visible). However, if you fan from right to left (a reverse fan), you'll see the top-right corner, which is blank. Add a palm of a blank card to that, and you've got the effect...

Hey Jonathan, I wanted to film this, but the video format isn't supported, and it's tough to do with my phone.

Regular deck... (fanned left to right, showing the card indexes, top-left corner)

Plus a blank card, to palm or place on the bottom...

Have the spectator select a card...

Square up the fan and palm the blank card to the top position (with the card faces toward you).

Spread the cards from right to left (showing the top-right corner of the cards); since there are no pips or indices there, they all appear blank, creating the illusion that the entire deck is blank.

Hey, to be honest, my magic isn't quite at that level yet. What I think they're doing, and I'm asking for help from @Zeta @elayudante @link22, is a Pass, controlling the spectator's card that they put on top, to get it to the middle, and then using that to transform the entire deck to red. Again, my magic isn't anywhere near that level...
