I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.

A card revelation where the card becomes transparent midway

Let me introduce a card-guessing magic trick that has been praised as being too difficult, where a card becomes transparent midway through.

This routine is performed as a search for a specific picture card.

Partway through, when the magician waves a hand over the deck, a face-down card turns face-up.

This is the part that’s described as becoming transparent.

The secret is actually simple: the face-down card on top is palmed.

However, getting to that point requires a lot of technical setup.

Let me introduce a classic card routine he created, called “All Backs.” In this effect, every card in the deck appears to be reversed, showing only its back.

There are also versions where only the spectator’s selected card turns face up.

The performance threshold is a bit high, but once you master it, you can really amaze people.

Many methods have been devised, so try finding the one that suits you best.
