    EFFECT: A double-backed card is removed from your pocket and


    shown. Magically the double-backer is ripped into two Jacks. These
    two Jacks are then ripped into the four Jacks. The whole effect, from
    start to finish, takes about 8 to 10 seconds and you end up in a super
    nice display. I feel this is the easiest thing in the notes to do.

    CREDITS: What sparked the idea of The Ripper was something that
    Scott Alexander and Alan Nu came up with. Their version of a four Ace
    explosion will see print one of these days. Also, I must credit Eddie
    Hughlett for the grip used (A fine addition to the method).

    PREPARATION: Set up the Jacks so one color (red) is in the center


    of the other (black) Example: Jack of Spades, Jack of Hearts, Jack of
    Diamonds, Jack of Clubs. Take the four Jacks and give them a slight

    bend inwards (photo 1). Now turn the Jack of Spades and the Jack of
    Hearts face down on the Jack of Clubs and Jack of Diamonds (photo
    2). Square them and set the four card packet in a top shirt pocket or a
    side pants pocket. Now you are ready to perform The Ripper.

    THE PERFORMANCE: Take the four card double-backer out of
    your pocket or off the top of the deck, holding it as squarely as pos-
    sible. Say to the audience, “Have you ever seen one of these?” Display
    both sides of the double-backer by holding the packet in your left hand
    with the thumb on top of the cards in the lower left corner and the fin-
    gers underneath. Turn your wrist face up, and then down to show the
    single card. Basically you can use any flourishy way of showing a single
    card. Just make sure to imply that the one card has two backs but never
    actually call attention to it. Now hold the packet parallel to the floor and
    re-grip it in the following position: The pad of the right middle finger sits
    on the tip of the upper right corner of the card(s), the same with the pad

    of the right thumb on the lower left corner (photo 3). If pressure is
    applied by squeezing the packet with the middle fingers towards the
    thumbs, the card(s) will bow up and down due to the pre-show bends
    you’ve placed in them (photo 4). Stick both pointer fingers in the two

    big gaps and pinch the lower left and right corners by pressing against
    the thumbs (photo 5). Now let your middle fingers move off the cor-
    ners. This makes the packet spring open and you end up with two
    doubles (photo 6). The next action happens very fast. I have broken it

    down into a few sentences so you can under-stand it a little better. With
    your left thumb, push the cards closest to the thumbs to the right while
    your left pointer finger pulls the cards closest to the pointer to the left.

    This action causes the split of the two doubles. Continue to pull (rip) the
    cards with the right thumb and pointer fingers until you have two Jacks
    in both hands (photo 7). This is the final display of The Ripper.
