Snowstorm is a widely-known card trick designed by Jay Sankey. With Snowstorm, the magician holds four cards in his hands. The magician had previously made a sketch of a snow globe across the face of the signed card. When the magician gives the card a brisk shake, it visually seems as if snowflakes come to life, scattering across the globe. When the magician gives the cards a final shake, the cards rearrange themselves visibly to a previously selected suit and card. Large, two-sided fans that can be purchased at magic shops or online stores, such as The Magic Warehouse, are perfect props for a Chinese fan version of the Snowstorm magic trick. When the fan is opened on way, the stripes are horizontal. When the fan is closed and opened from the other direction, the stripes are vertical. Magicians can simply give the fan a gentle shake before opening the second side.
The Color Changing Fan is a well-known Chinese fan trick. The fan has a special construction so that when it opens, the complete fan changes color with no obvious opening or change of directions of the fan. Color-changing fans are often laminated and constructed for long use and come with instruction sheets. Many magic shops offer color changing fans with various designs. The Magic Warehouse Online offers the Color Changing Dragon Fan, which changes into a dragon design after the color changes.
