Building on the work of Hamman, Harris, Racherbaumer, Close and others, Mark Elsdon has developed the most commercial handling of "Re-Set" released to date.

Four red backed cards change places with four blue backed cards one at a time, and then instantly "Re-Set" back to being reds.

The Blue cards are examined and are now found to have Green Backs and when the red packet is checked again the blacks have vanished leaving four blank backed cards! All eight cards may now be examined!!

If you enjoy performing magic that simply devastates laymen, then you really should be performing this routine. Complete with all the cards and an instructional DVD.

Chaos 2 Now Comes With A Full Instructional DVD !

In 1992 Mark devised the original 'Chaos & Order' triumph routine, based on a self-shuffling deck idea that was shown to him by a Chinese magician when he was living out in Hong Kong. A little while later Michael Weber suggested the actual 'Chaos and Order' patter theme, which was incorporated immediately. For a decade Mark performed the routine to a great effect, in all kinds of working environments. Recently, several possible improvements occurred, including a way to increase the number of selections and make the selection process a lot cleaner. One thing led to another.. This new version is a substantial improvement on the original and the assimilation of the "Chaos Machine" into the card case is, we think, the finishing touch.

EFFECT

Gary Jones has created a packet trick that combines a great psychological presentation with a knockout colour change ending and because there are only a few cards used in the effect its perfect to carry in your wallet.

As a bonus we also include Gary's great Colour Remix effect. Colour Remix is an easy to do, fun to perform oil and water routine that has a killer kicker where the backs change colour at the end.
