This trick is a classic of card magic. It was created by Al Leech in 1950, and popularized by Frank Garcia under the name "Chicago Opener". The magician causes a freely-selected card to change its back color (say from red to blue), which is then tabled. The performer then claims to be able to repeat the effect and a second card is selected. This second attempt fails - no second blue card is found - but the performer makes good by turning over the first blue card and showing that it has now magically changed into the second selection.
