The Jealous King by Shawn Farquhar

Shawn Farquhar, FISM Grand Prix World Champion of Magic, performs and explains in detail an effect that is sure to amuse and entertain your audiences. It's the tale of lust and greed for the royal throne. Four cards are removed from the deck and one by one the images vanish until all four are gone. Not wanting to leave it there, they all miraculously return but it seems the Jack and Queen of Hearts have been fooling around behind the Kings back...

This effect is both simple in plot and handling. It can be used as a stand alone packet trick or introduced from a deck of cards.
