Prints of Darkness by Stephen Tucker

This is probably the best item on Steven Tucker’s Himbering Ways compilation of six effects for a Himber Wallet. I liked it so much I took separate photos of it!  My other favorite is The Card That Never Was.

(Notice: the wallet shown is not the one that came with the package, but my favorite Himber Wallet from Jerry O’Connell.)

Effect: Ask someone to name ANY card. Let’s assume they name the six of clubs. “If you had named the four of hearts,” you say “I would have sneaked it into my wallet, like this, but without you seeing me do so.” Here you show the four of hearts and openly slip it into your wallet.

You then remove the four of hearts and return it to the deck. “To get the six of clubs into the wallet will be much harder.” You now show a card that is blank on both sides and slip it into the wallet. You explain that it will print itself into the named six of clubs! You close the wallet, wait a few seconds then open it again.

The card is still blank, but when you remove it and turn it over… a back design has appeared! You repeat the process until the card has fully printed and is… the six of clubs!
