Jax’s eyes followed every movement that you made, while your own remained on him instead of focusing on the shuffling of the cards, the trick too practiced for you to really need to see what was going on. His brow was furrowed ever so slightly, as he tried to catch the moment when you made the switch.
In the time it took him to blink you quickly turned the pack, knowing that he would have missed it. Then, you fanned the cards out, showing him that they were all face up. Other than his one of course. The dark blue back of the card stood out against the white of the others.
‘All right, how?’ he asked as you plucked the card away carefully and held it out to him. He shook his head, as if not quite believing that he’d missed it all again.
‘Misdirection mainly,’ you said simply, showing him the card at the bottom of the pack which was also the wrong way around. ‘And that’s not even the whole trick.’ You passed the cards off to him. A small part of you was thrilled that he seemed eager to learn about this, even if you couldn’t quite figure out why.
