Unshuffled Kicker (Gimmick and Online Instructions) by Paul Gertner – Trick

More than thirty years ago Paul Gertner developed “Unshuffled,” one of the most memorable and influential routines EVER devised with a pack of cards. Thirty years later (and fresh off of fooling Penn & Teller), Paul is releasing the ultimate and FAR SUPERIOR version, which we call Unshuffled Kicker. This is now the definitive version of this classic routine.

The effect begins just like the original “Unshuffled” — a selected card is found by “unshuffling” the deck. Strange markings on the side of the deck slowly align to form the word “Unshuffled” — written with a Sharpie marker on the edges of the cards. To end, the entire deck goes back into numerical order, culminating with the transformation of the word on the side of the deck, from “Unshuffled” to the selected “King of Hearts.”

The NEW ending is that the message on the side of the deck changes YET AGAIN to a message of your choosing. Paul used “Penn and Teller” for the wording on the side of the deck. You can make your own name appear, or any slogan or number or design you wish.

The new ending can be added onto any deck design you wish, and is extremely easy to integrate into the “Unshuffled” routine. You receive full instructions on how to perform the classic “Unshuffled,” as well as all the details for the new, outrageous ending for Unshuffled Kicker.

If Penn and Teller were fooled by this, your audience will be as well!
