Beam Me Up, Scotty

The Effect:

Four Jokers and a King are shown front and back.  The King is sandwiched between two of the Jokers and the pile is placed on the table.  The remaining two Jokers are shown front and back, sandwiched together, and placed on the table well away from the first pile.  The King is then “transported”… it dematerializes from between the first two Jokers and rematerializes sandwiched between the Jokers in the other pile.

Includes a bonus handling in which the King is shown partially dematerialized before vanishing completely (requires a custom printed card).
