Erase the Face



You will need:

Four cards that are blank on one side (one of them being a three)

Blank card (blank face)

Effect:

With the help of a magic three, you can make the faces of three cards disappear.

Tutorial:


 * 1) Before you begin your trick, put the blank card above the other four cards.
 * 2) Show the spectator/audience the cards by peeling off each card. When you peel off the three, act like it's one card. Say that it's a magic three and it will make all the other cards become blank.
 * 3) Put the three and the blank card facedown on the (faced up) pile so that the three is face-to-face with the top card.
 * 4) Take the blank card, the three, and the (backless) top card and put it on the bottom. Peel off the card/cards at the top one at a time, then peel off the facedown blank card (with the back), and then the audience will see the three. However, the three should now be facedown and it will give the appearance that you have made the card's face vanish. In order to do this however, you have to hold the card and the three really tight together so that it will look like one card.
 * 5) Put the blank card back on top of the card and the three and out them back on the bottom. Flip over the pack and set down the facedown card, which should appear to be blank.
 * 6) Repeat steps 3-5 twice.
 * 7) Say that the three has made itself vanish and do it by revealing the blank card with the back.
