Tornado by Justin Flom and Rick Lax

"VERY practical and SUPER clean" -Mat Franco, Winner of America's Got Talent

Tear it. Change it. Let it trade places.

A single visual change sets off an impossible teleportation in Tornado—a two-card miracle that leaves nothing to hide and everything to remember.

You tear up a 4 and place one corner into a spectator’s hand. You step back, tear up a 7, and hold one corner at your fingertips. In full view, that corner visually changes into the corner of the 4. The spectator opens their hand—and they’re holding the 7.

The pieces have switched places.

There are only two cards in play. No extra pieces. No fancy sleight of hand. The cards do the work, the moment lands clean, and when it’s over the torn corners can be kept as a souvenir of something that shouldn’t be possible.

Created by Rick Lax, with a clever subtlety taught by Justin Flom, Tornado is engineered for clarity and repeat impact. It’s the kind of effect that sounds too good on paper—until you perform it and see the reactions for yourself.

You’ll receive detailed instruction plus 28 custom-designed gimmicked cards—enough for 14 performances—specially produced by Rick Lax, Justin Flom, Kevin Reylek, and the United States Playing Card Company.

It’s fast.
It’s visual.
And it keeps calling for an encore.

TORNADO
Two cards.
One change.
They keep the proof.
