Masquerade is a hard-hitting multi-phase routine that builds and builds to an impossible finale that leaves your audience utterly amazed. An interactive prediction card routine that is sure to keep your audience begging the question, "What if I'd chosen another card?"

You show a prediction envelope at the start and ask your spectator to hold on to it for safe keeping. You then show a deck of cards and cut them roughly in half. The spectator has a free choice of which half to use, leaving you with the other half. You take your respective halves and both take the cards behind your backs, remove one card and turn it upside down, and then place it back into the deck, finally bringing the cards forward.

You now swap packs and ask the spectator to spread your half to show what card is revers-ed. You then spread their half to show which card they revers-ed. The two cards are shown to be different and not a match. However, the prediction is retrieved from the beginning and the envelope opened. It contains just two items - two playing cards that are a perfect match for the two revers-ed cards in the deck!

As a kicker ending, the two revers-ed cards from the deck are shown to have completely different back designs from the red deck in use, and also different from each other. And then, as a double whammy kicker ending, all of the other cards are turned over and shown to be completely blank!
