Double-Faced Cards

THIS particular principle has not received the attention it
deserves from modern card men. Apart from the trick of passing four K's from a hat back to the pack, and vice versa, which was handed down by Hoffmann from prehistoric times of magic, there are but few tricks with double-faced cards ever seen nowadays. Most of the following are due to the ingenuity of Mr. U. F. Grant, the well-known magician and magic dealer. For higher flights of magic to which double-faced cards may be applied the student is strongly advised to study Hofzinser's Card Conjuring, translated by S. H. Sharpe.
