Prepare to be blown away! Four court cards and four spot cards are removed from the deck. The performer isolates the court cards face down in front of the audience. The four spot cards are cleanly shown before, one at a time, they transform into the four court cards! Suddenly, just when they think it's all over, the cards deliver a remarkable double whammy, leaving the audience gasping for breath and shaking their heads in disbelief. This visual knockout will fast become one of your favorite effects.

Professional Opinions
"For those who are fond of transposition plots such as Reset, Ricochet is the smartest entry in a long time. R. Paul has used his considerable talents to create a truly stunning exchange." -- Earl Nelson

"This is the ultimate version of the Underground Transposition with the Reset kicker I have seen. If one were to do this effect by real magic it could not look any better than this. This is visual magic at its best." -- Allen Ackerman

"The kicker is just that: a great kick." -- Max Maven

"This isn't a card trick... it's card magic. Paul Wilson has entered a zone where few gain entry, and returned with magical gold. My highest recommendation." -- David Regal

"Absolutely THE BEST rendition of the reverse assembly genre I have ever witnessed." -- Jim Patton

A very visual magical effect with an eye-popping climax. Great stuff." -- Peter Duffie

If you are familiar with Paul Harris' Reset trick, this is pretty much it but make way easier. Unlike the original, you don't have to use some difficult slight of hand because the cards do all of the work for you. There is one move that you will have to learn and it will take practice but overall this trick is still way easier to do.

The only downside is that the cards can't be examined by the spectator afterwards but if you just put them away right away they won't even ask. But, on the plus side, this trick is much more visual that the original so you will get better reactions.

utility gaffs Report this review

The routine it basically Paul Harris' infamous Reset except that it's gaffed and has a "kickback" ending.

There really isn't anything wrong with the routine, but
I truly just got this set to obtain the cards.

Not all it seems Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 20th, 2007
This is a great visual trick that is absolutely baffling.
So is the demo video though. The trick does not explain the same handling of the Asher Twist as performed by Oz in the demo. This is a shame as Oz's version is more visual and the main reason I bought the trick. With no learning video either it makes the purchase a little disappointing.
However, perfroming it as described in the trick is worthy of three stars.

Some moves required Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 29th, 2005
When I saw Oz do this in the video I was sure he was using more cards then are shown when he spreads the flourish of Aces, but he's not! A sleight is required if you want to do this the way he does in the video, & if you purchase the trick you get to watch the video, but its still going to take some work to get it down & smooth.

If I can master that part of it, it will be a good trick but defintely going to take some work. There is another way the trick can be done w/o the moves but its not as convincing because you'd have to hide the cards under a table or behind your back.

The free online video also gives you a way to end clean where everything is examinable if you follow the procedure--this part isnt in Oz's video, but you do get access to it with purchase of Ricochet so its a nice bonus.

BOTTOM LINE--Good trick, might be one of your fav's if you're willing to learn the sleight.

This is a great trick, but only if you practice a lot with it. The sleight is kind of tricky, but once you have it down, watch out! Your audience won't have a clue....

This is without a doubt one of the top 5 tricks in the entire shop. It is easy to do, even for a beginner! This is an amazing effect that blows all other card magic out of the water. Get ready for a ricochet ride as misdirection is a must! Without thought, add to cart now!

I really think this trick is a great trick!! It is one of my favorites!! I gave it a four because the instructions don't explain the asher twist well.

Great! Report this review

I bought this effect at Abbott's get together last year and it is a good trick when you follow the instructions, but with the asher twist it is a great item! Maybe the original version should be employed (use of a silk) in the demo, just to show how incredibly deceptive this effect is. In live performance this is the way to go!

Cool trick, Ricochet! Report this review

Nice! Performed it a few times, everyone was baffled! They thought I grabbed four kings from underneath the table or something, but when I handed out he cards for examination and showed there was nothing under the table, they didn't say one more word! Exellent trick!
