Performer shows a Three of Spades on bottom of deck. He reaches up with right hand and apparently removes the center pip, leaving the Two of Spades . He snaps invisible pip into the air and shows right hand empty. Then he reaches into air again, gets invisible pip and puts it on the Two of Spades -- and behold, the Two changes back to the Three of Spades again.
