"Sakai asks a member of the audience to select a card. It is placed face down on the table. Sakai asks the same spectator to name his favorite "picture card" four of a kind: Kings, Queens, or Jacks. These four cards, say Queens, are removed from the deck. Three blank cards are interlaced, face up, among the four face-down Queens. Magically, instantaneously, faces (three Nines) appear on the blank cards. The spectator turns over the card chosen earlier and it is the fourth Nine. Sakai explains that the printing of the Nines is not without cost to the Queens who have assisted him - he turns over the four face-down cards to reveal Aces." (Five Times Five [Japan], Kaufman, 100)
This effect is an example of simple yet impactful piece of magic from Hiro Sakai. As I am not exposed to Sakai's magic before, I was shocked at the responses I've gotten when I first performed this in front of my spectators. This item is one of the best, if not the best, items in Five Times Five; the Japan edition. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YC11Mx-KVIM Best, msc455magic

Looks awesome. Your handling is flawless.
I use Hiro Sakai's Duck Change, and his Oil & Water Routine which was currently published in Genii. He is a clever thinker.
