Topsy Turvy Restraint is a dramatic and seemingly impossible card routine. A spectator names any four of a kind, and the magician shuffles these cards face-up into a face-down deck, followed by shuffling the entire deck face-up into face-down. The deck is then double-wrapped with an elastic band to make sleight of hand impossible. Despite these constraints, the first ace flies out of the deck with no moves from the magician. When the deck is spread out, the remaining aces have separated from the rest of the cards. This routine can be adapted with selected or signed cards, delivering a high-impact, commercial effect that audiences will love.
