Creepy Crawlers

Spiders, rats, and snakes... oh my!

The Effect:

Cards depicting a spider, a snake, a rat, and a cockroach are dealt onto the table. Teams of exterminators are sent to capture them. One by the one, the vermin are eliminated. Only a blank card is found in their place.

But then you realize they weren't actually exterminated, but escaped instead. The final pile (which a spectator has had covered with his hand the entire time) is revealed and all the creepy crawlers are found there.

Disclaimer: This effect requires a custom-printed gaff cards. Instructions are provided for making simple and inexpensive versions. However, knowledge of and experience in card-splitting and/or other techniques for creating/printing custom-made gaff cards are recommended if a professional quality card is desired.
