Metamorphosis of the King of Spades

The conjurer appears and produces a pack of cards. After performlng various sleight-of-hand tricks, he picks up the king of spades, and by a few passes enlarges it until the body of the picture is full life size. He places the card end up on a chair. Next the commands the picture to come to life. A game of cards is introduced, but from the king's gesticulations it is evident that the conjurer is trying to cheat. Before the king has a chance to rise from his seat to remonstrate, however, the magician commands him to return to his inanimate form. This done, the card is gradually reduced to its original size. After shuffling the pack of cards, the conjurer tosses them on the table, where they are mysteriously built up in the form of a house.
