Boxed Reset By Michael O’Brien

8 cards are chosen. 4 are placed in the box and 4 are used by the magician. Each card magically turns face-down, then switches places with the cards in the box!
Boxed Reset is based on the original Reset routine by Paul Harris. In this version, 8 cards are chosen by the spectators (4 number cards and 4 face cards.) The face cards are placed into the box and handed to a spectator for safe keeping. Meanwhile the 4 number cards are handled by the magician in a demonstration of sleight of hand.

One at a time the 4 number cards magically turn face-down. In fact at one point the spectator even choses which card goes face-down next and it is done in the most insanely visual way! Lastly the magician turns over all 4 cards to reveal them to in fact be the face cards. When the box is opened the magician removes the 4 number cards to show that all 8 cards have indeed changed places!

Great sleight of hand and a great routine that gets amazing reactions, has many magical moments, and uses nothing more than a standard deck of cards and a case.

**No Dupes, Gimmicks, or extra cards needed!**
