The principle: a picture of a magician is shown, and the people present have a freewheeling discussion about what it evokes in them.

The magician holds in his hands a small packet made up only of picture cards: kings, queens and jacks. He displays them very clearly two by two, the pairs of cards are put together completely randomly, and are placed one on top of the other on the table; no suspicious gestures are made. The spectator squares the packet, and spreads it face up on the table. The mates are now together: the black kings are together, as well as the red jacks, etc…

The scenario and patter of this trick (a Duvivier/Bloom co-production!) are quite funny: they explain how the little peas are sorted, and put in cans according to their size. A completely automatic trick, very funny, and very intriguing!
