I always have to screw with things. Yup. That's me. Can't leave well enough alone.
Time for me to fess up: I liked "Factory Misprints". by Nick Trost, but I wanted something with a little more contrast or eye appeal than the cards starting off as blanks, mainly because I do so many other effects with blank cards that I needed something to stand out from the crowd. As you may know, the effect is simply four "blank cards" printing one at a time into aces. But I tbought: "How can I make it different than my other effects? Jokers turn into aces? Nah. I already do NFW. Then it hit me! Advertising cards! You know those pesky advertising cards that come in a pack of new Bikes? The ones you want to throw away? Why not make good use of them? Why not do something magical with them? So I followed my heart, dug out several, and with a little arts and crafts time, I turned them into the neccessary gimmicks, and voila! I test drove my new set, and it worked like a charm! Now I have the "new" effect of the advertising cards transforming into the aces, and I love the contrast. (Applause please!)

Nice idea on the advertising cards. I usually use mine to practice reformation - guess we all have our different uses for these pesky little cards

It's been in my craw to create an effect with those &"$#% cards for a long time, It just took the right circumstances for it to finally come to fruition.

Isn't "Factory Misprints" a J.C. Wagner effect, not Nick Trost? Or are you talking about another trick?

Nick Trost as taught on a Michael Ammar tape.

If you're referring to Vol. 4 of Ammar's Easy To Master Card Miracles, he credits it to J.C. Wagner and not Nick Trost.

Yes, it's JC's effect.
