You spread out a deck of cards to show the fronts and then respread the deck to show the backs of the cards. All appears to be normal. The spectator calls out a card and you then take out the selection and leave it on the table face up. You respread the deck and the deck has now shrunk down to a miniature deck with the selection being the largest card in the deck! You respread the deck again only to find that the deck has grown back to full size and the selection is now the smallest card in the entire deck! You then pull the selection out and it visually grows back to a full sized card!

This effect by Mike Powers is one of the hottest sellers in magic. Diminishing Returns has so many extremely visual twists and turns that your audience will be on a rollercoaster ride from start to finish! The Diminishing Returns also comes with a bonus effect, The Defective Deck!
