I made this up in three days, and I think this trick actually is quite good. Or, to quote my mum (she really said this), "Beautiful, very very beautiful. Your best trick so far".
The inspiration is by Arnaud Chevrier; he inspires me to think about magic, practise magic and try to create magic in the mind of my spectators. Check this link out, or my site with some other cool movies. Click Here! http://www.kingofclubs.tk

There are some similar routines usually referred to as "homing card". Fred Kaps used to do the trick. Larry Jennings and others have published some handlings you might like to explore.

Looks pretty goody, by a bit too much fidgeting for my taste.

Looks cool!
"The Jack that came back"---good title for an Ambitious Card routine.

What happened to your other trick---the one where the Jacks change in the card box?
That was better, I think. King of Diamonds

that's a cool trick to. There is no limit to my imagination. [/arrogant] Quite seriously, the red-backed Jacks are in my repertoire already. This one is still in development, although I think it's almost where I want it. I did promise you a new video with signing the back. I'll make one tomorrow.

You might want to work out a handling that doesn't use the Glide. This move is somewhat known to laypeople. Also, it's not a big stretch to imagine that the Jack is left in the packet and not placed on the table. This view is validated at the end when the tabled cards are red.
A really cool ending would be to have the tabled cards be the four Jacks or Aces, etc. It's not logical and Mike Rogers wouldn't like it, but it would be powerful. It's quite possible using a Gemini Count or Jennings' "Rhythm Count." This will allow you to use two Jacks twice and make the pile seem to be four Jacks. Mike

The Glide is not well known to lay people, and I have performed many tricks and never been caught out using the Glide. However I would say you do use the Glide a few too many times and the spectators may get suspicious. Maybe vary the way you put the 'Jack' on the table by perhaps bottom or second dealing it as I have seen done so well on your website.

I made a new video. I thought the presentation didn't fit. Because in the beginning, I showed five reds, and I end with four reds and an odd card. This one is a bit better I think. Also I tried to relax the handling, but not sure if that succeeded.
And I never been called on the Glide. Although, I have taken it in consideration, and I now do some one handed greek deals. Sounds very cool and difficult, but from a spread it isn't. It is not in this video, however the glides are taken care of. Please tell me what you think. http://members.chello.nl/~m.vandeheuvel1......omen.wmv In the future I'll just call it the homing card. Because that's basicaly what it is.
