What is the 24 card and car reveal trend and how do you make one?

Updated · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

The 24 card and car reveal trend shows a person in a night car park holding up a card with a 2, then a card with a 4, before a car appears behind them. In Rift, add a photo of yourself and a photo of the car, tell Spark, Rift's video agent, the scene, check the Draft and tap Make for a video of up to 15 seconds.

You can make this reveal with your own photo and your own car. Add both to Rift and tell Spark the car park and the two cards; the car arrives on the last beat.

How the format works

Why it works

The two cards set up a question, and the car answers it. People like a pay-off, and cars make the best pay-off because the shape is clear even in the dark. It also lets you show a car you love without a long clip.

Make your own in Rift

  1. Open Rift and add a clear photo of yourself and a photo of the car.
  2. Tell Spark: “Me in an empty car park at night, holding up a 2 card and then a 4 card. My car pulls in behind me with its lights on.”
  3. Check the Draft and tap Make.
  4. Find the video in your Library and post it.

Rift makes one shot of up to 15 seconds. Captions and sound are not in the app yet, so add them in your posting app. For more car ideas, see AI car videos.

Ideas for a new take

Keep it fun

Use your own photos or ones you have permission for. Do not use real people’s faces without their say.

Questions people ask

Do I need the real cards?

No. Spark can show the cards in the scene. You can also add a card photo of your own.

Can it be my own car?

Yes. Add a clear photo of your car and say it is the one that appears.

Can I use a car that is not mine?

Use a car you own or have the owner's OK for, and keep it clear the video is made for fun.

What do I say to Spark?

Name the place, the two cards and the car, for example a night car park, a 2 then a 4, and my own car.
