Color Changing Deck is a classic card theme where a backs of a deck of cards that has been shown (usually during the course of a routine) changes to another color. Many routines add it as a "kicker," an additional ending after the original effect is over.


History

  • In 1944, Paul Curry marketed the Color Changing Deck.
