C.B.I. (Can’t Believe It) by Bob Kline

This is the original Bob Kline version of C.B.I (Can’t Believe It) which was later produced by Howard Hale (under license) and of course this is based upon the original Houlette Style Deck Vanish by Robert Jackson (which Bob Kline also created with Mr. Jackson’s permission). This is a popular item for the wood guys because last year Mel Babcock created his own version.

I think for just the sheer boldness of design this version wins 🙂  Really beautiful and the first one I have seen up close.  Very easy to do and very effective and realistic looking gimmick – where does the deck go?!

Effect: This limited edition item created by Bob Kline:

• A wood box is introduced and opened to reveal a packaged deck of cards.
• The packaged deck is removed from the box and opened.
• The deck is slid from its case and the individual cards are shown.
• The cards are returned to their case; the case is placed back inside the wood box; the cover is placed back on the box.
• The fingers are snapped and the wood box is opened. The packaged deck has vanished.
