From the mind of master magician Martin Lewis, comes this great comedy gambling routine:

Four cards, shown front and back, are seen to consist of three duplicate odd value cards and one that is of even value and of a contrasting color. For this description we will assume they are three Three of Spades and one Ten of Diamonds.

Three separate effects take place. First is a transposition of a discarded Three of Spades with the Ten of Diamonds. Then the Ten magically turns itself over in the packet. Finally, the Ten of Diamonds vanishes completely, leaving in its place another odd card -- but this is a very odd one, because it consists of a card with five large variously colored pips!

A variation could be that this final card is yet another Three of Spades, or even the Joker. This is the way Martin did it, but I personally preferred the shock of the totally unexpected 'odd card' and the opportunity to use the line,'They are really all odd cards, especially this one!'
