-*''Hot Card Trick N° 1'' by [[Al Leech]]. Trick marketed in 1950.
+A classic example is [[Chicago Opener]].
-Becomes ''Chicago Opener'' by [[Frank Evehard]] in [[Million Dollar Card Secrets]] by [[Frank Garcia]] (1972).
-Then ''Al Leech's Red Hot Mama'' by [[Jim Ryan]] in [[Jim Ryan Close-up]] written by [[Philip Willmarth]] (1980)
-Again ''Red Hot Mama'' by [[Michael Ammar]] in DVD''Easy to Master Card Miracles'', Vol. 1) (1994).
-Then ''The Chicago Surprise'' by [[Whit Haydn]] (2000).
-The back of a freely selected card changes color--say, to red--and is set aside. A second card is selected and the red-backed card is seen to have transformed and has now surprisingly become the second selection. Ammar notes that this routine meets Dai Vernon's criterion for clarity of effect in the two simple transformations. Haydn notes that the blending of two methods to achieve the same effect (in this case the transformation of a card) increases the mystery and impossibility.
