Video - Magician’s latest trick has gone viral after he invented an amazing card stunt to sum up the nation’s latest political shake up

James Went, 34, has been performing magic for a decade and loves inventing new close-up tricks with cards and coins.

In just an hour he created a new illusion to mark the election of new Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and in just a few days it has attracted more than 25,000 views. It starts with the Bafta-award winning magician holding a blue pack of cards which changes to red as he talks about a shift from interest in the Tories to Labour.
