Jack and Jill by The Trickery, Viking Mfg.
(c. 2007) (Submit Review) (Submit Update)This is an updated version of the Steve Dusheck and Jim Hill effect: Cases of Metamorphosis c. 1984. All of these effects are versions of Al Baker’s Cherchez la Femme.
This is a finely made version by Viking Mfg. for Howie at The Trickery.
Effect: Hand the frames out for examination if you like. Show two playing cards, a Jack and a Queen. Openly place the Jack inside one frame, the Queen in the other. The centers of both cards can be seen through the holes in the frames at all times. With a simple snap of your fingers, the cards switch places! When you remove the cards you may hand them out as well!
A classic metamorphosis effect where a portion of both cards remains visible at all times. If you wish, you can place a sticker signed by two spectators on each card. When the cards magically switch, the signature has also magically traveled from one card to the other! Even more baffling!
POKER SIZE: Frames measure 4″ x 4.250″ x 1.50″ at the base. Made of select Asian Walnut. Hand-crafted. Complete with standard bicycle poker cards and instructions.
Each stand is hallmarked by Viking. This is a Trickery/Viking Exclusive, manufactured by Viking/CW for The Trickery. Supplied complete with Bicycle Poker cards.

Andy Martin –
A Beautiful Version of This Classic
Howie has redone this effect quite a few times over the years and most recently he has had them made by George Robinson down at Viking. These are as good as the ones made by the famous Jerry – they are very thin and beautifully finished. The cards are expertly made and the effect is just so clean now. You place the jack in one holder and the queen in the other and instantly they swap places. Even though they can see the cards at all times.
If you are a medium to high high-end collector that appreciates the fine Magic of craftsmen like Alan Warner and Mel Babcock, you will surely appreciate the workmanship in this new release.
Get these before they run out. They are exquisite!
Jon Wilson –
Why did I pick this trick up? Upon Andy’s rating of course and also I thought the effect is simple, which in my terms means both easy to pull off and very beautiful at the same time. But, I also say, some of the most beautiful magic is in simplicity, not in planning or slight of hand. I was lucky enough to get this one the other day, and yes, happy in the simplicity and display. It I think, is very beautiful in terms, for your friends you do magic for a living or just a piece that will light up a room when someone comes to you home. Long story short, I am glad Andy ever suggested this one. Could not be happier with it!
