The deck of playing cards were in fact a normal playing cards. They were nothing more or nothing less than just some regular cards. While [i]some[/i] might've resorted to utilizing qi for tricks, The Amazing and Oh-so-Glorious Gretchen Primrose would not stoop to such levels. She was The Amazing and Oh-so-Glorious Gretchen Primrose for a reason after all! And she had no use for qi in her spectacular displays of magic, because she didn't need it. Only unprofessionals would need it for what PN61A would perform.

[color=AA98A9]"Very good to hear that."[/color] PN61A remarked as she reclaimed the deck, sliced it in half and held both sections in her hand. With her thumbs facing inwards she released them allowing the cards to fall into place as another shuffle was done. 

Flipping the deck upside down, she revealed the face of the Queen of Hearts. She turned her attention between Miki, Roxy and the audience, as she showed off the Queen of Hearts. [color=AA98A9]"Behold. This card is currently the Queen of Hearts. However! I shall turn this card into the Queen of Spades."[/color] 

The Amazing and Oh-so-Glorious Gretchen Primrose goose-stepped close to the audience to make sure they were all at a suitable viewing distance for this trick. Placing one of her hands on top, and began rubbing down on the Queen of Hearts. [color=AA98A9]"Now I incant the magical words; Hocus Pocus!"[/color]

All while this spectacular display was going on the sleight of hand behind the trick was set up and finished, approximately about the time the figure did their own version of the vanishing and reappearance act. 

PN61A removed her hand over the card to show that it was indeed the Queen of Spades! The Amazing and Oh-so-Glorious Gretchen Primrosed showed off the card to all in attendance. [color=AA98A9]"And through my magic it is the Queen of Spades!"[/color]

She paused for the adoration shown via clapping and cheers alongside a stunned silence. [color=AA98A9]"This pause is for the clapping and cheers from all of you seeing such a spectacular display besides that stunned silence. Good job on the stunned silence. I have many, many more displays of magic I can show. Are you ready for more?"[/color]
