Magnetic Mental Control Card Trick

In order to perform the following very simple card trick, two decks of playing cards are needed. One of the packs must have blue backs, unprepared, andf the other having red backs, which should be prepared as follows: take 26 red backed cards and 26 blue-backed cards and arrange these up alternately to produce a typical fifty-two card pack. Roughen the faces of all the red cards plus the backs of the blue cards so when the cards are distributed, only the red backs may show. Once you’ve prepared it using this method, the pack could be fanned, spread on the table and also shuffled with the overhand technique and never having to show the blue-backed cards.
