Over on TikTok I post vintage magic tricks and a recent one that I did was Nick Trost’s Gemini Cards. Also, if you’re not following me over there please do, I’m at: https://www.tiktok.com/@louiefoxx
Gemini Cards is an Out of This World style of card trick. Here’s what it looks like:

The trick is great, and a fooler. I was trying to think of what it could be done with that aren’t playing cards. Here are some ideas:
Cards with pictures of:
-Red/Black socks
-Cats and dogs
However I don’t want to use things that are pictures drawn on playing cards. So other objects that are “card like” in their natural state.
Here are some ideas:
-paint swatches
-number flash cards: evens and odds match each other
-photographs (maybe of my dog and cat)
-postcards: I have custom made “postcards from home” that I use for a torn and restored postcard routine. I could use those and postcards from exotic places.
I think that the Gemini Cards definitely has potential, just not sure how to use it!
