Kings Crossing is Cards Across on steroids Jumbo cards. No sleight-of-hand. No palming. No false counts. Absolutely clean
The routine possibilities for Kings Crossing are limitless. This is a no-nonsense and literally self-working version of the classic effect and allows you to concentrate on your presentation while fooling the pants off of your audience
Sample Effect
Here is a basic bare bones routine that you can do with Kings Crossing
You show a stack of 20 jumbo-sized cards and explain how you are going to simply transfer a bit of LOVE in your show. You bring onto the stage a couple of star-crossed lovers--or in a pinch a married couple also do.
Very fairly deliberately and separately you count out the 20 jumbo cards onto the table-there are no false counts or sleights. You spread the top 10 cards in a fan and show everyone including the volunteers that they are all King of Spades-everyone can clearly see 10 separate King of Spades. You close up the spread and give them to the man to hold safely in his hands against his heart-all in the name of love You then spread the other 10 cards in a fan and show them all to be Aces of Diamonds-again the volunteers and audience can clearly see 10 separate Aces of Diamonds. You close up this spread and give them to the woman who also holds them in her hands against her heart.
Note that from this point on you never touch the cards again
After a series of by-plays and funny bits you then declare that you have now transferred 3 cards (bits of love) from the mans pile to the womans. To prove this the man himself now counts the cards one at a time onto the table. There are only 7 cards. The woman is now invited to count out her cards onto the table and incredibly there are 13 As a stunning kicker she herself picks up the 13 cards and spreads through them showing them to the audience. Incredibly everyone will see that there are now 3 King of Spades mixed
