the double and swivel the outjogged measles
card from the deck and drop it on the table.
Now deal off the top, face-up card and display
both sides. The top card of the deck shows
normal, as it should. You have successfully
infected one card.
Repeat this process to infect two more cards,
visually rubbing the measles card against the
top card of the deck, causing it, too, to get
the measles. After each change, swivel out the
infected card and deal it onto the tabled pile.
After you have infected three cards, you will

infect three more using a different method.
Turn the top face-up card face down and deal it
on top of the tabled pile. Explain that you can
rub the measles cards with your right fingers
and transfer it by touch to an uninfected card.
So saying, rub your right fingers on the tabled
pile, and then execute the Erdnase color
change to cause the top card of the deck to
become infected. Deal this card onto the pile
and repeat twice more, causing more cards to
become infected.
To finish, execute a double turnover, but
turn your wrist toward your body as you turn
the double face up to prevent exposing the
measles card beneath the cards you are turning
over. Once the double is face up and square
on top of the deck, deal the top card into your
right hand, again performing a wrist kill with
the left hand to prevent exposing the dots on
the back of the top card of the deck.
“Cards can even catch the measles long distance.”
Wave the face-up card in your right hand over
the tabled pile and then turn the card face
down to show that it now has the measles.
Then wave the deck over the pile and spread
the cards face down. Every single card has
become infected (photo 7).
