5WITCH is my exploration into natural card switches with folded cards.

Over 5 years ago I began playing with the concept of switching folded cards, I have always been a massive fan of Jay Sankey’s Paperclipped, it is a superb effect, direct and perplexing, I must have performed it over a thousand times. But I always wanted to get rid of the paperclip. I wanted to be able to perform this type of effect without any gimmicked box or clip and for it to seem completely natural.

So I started with ‘how do you naturally fold and unfold a playing card’ I simply studied what it looked like grabbing a folded card and unfolding it, that was my baseline. I then looked at the hand position, placement and movements of this natural motion and replicated it as closely as I could whilst also performing a switch of the card.

So that’s what this project is, a dive into natural card switches so you can be ready at a moment’s notice to perform paradoxical routines like the Mystery Card and really upset even the most beady eyed spectator!
