Great Surprise, Nice props!

This is a great little effect, that really surprises the audience! Its a remake of an old Anverdi idea. A card is freely chosen with no force. The cards are shuffled and the spectator is asked to place cards one at a time into the box. As they do this the lid of the box suddenly closes all on its own.

The card in their hand is their card! No force, no switches, they handle the deck as they place the cards into the box and the cards are all different.

Thanks to Neil Lester for getting me a much more realistic gimmick than originally came with this effect.

Wow – this is an incredible deck!

$100 buys you this sweet deck from Bruce Bernstein. Seems expensive, but when you see the workmanship and the effect you’ll know why it costs so much. The basic effect is that 3 cards are chosen very cleanly with the cards in the spectator’s hands – and the magician can predict all three! Each card is different, and they don’t even have to take the cards out of the deck. Just peek at one!

Marvellous!

This is a nice effect.

Not sure how effective it is to lay audiences; is it obvious or not? But I still think you can have fun with it as part of a bigger routine. The wallet is big, but of course it is since it has the roller in it, so its not unreasonable.

My Friend!

I call him Dickie the Duck, and he has been with me for about 27 years. My routine is 10-15 mintues long and the audience just love it. They always ask “Where’s Dickie?”.

This is one of those effects where it is all about the peformer. By instilling life into the duck you can create some of the finest entertainment around. Dickie will always be with me. And he always gets the right card … eventually!

Goodnight! There is a hole in the carpet!

Well I got this from my good friend Ron Allesi and loaded this baby up.

Then pulled the trigger and a huge flying bomb came out the end burning a great hole in the carpet! Wow! Why do men want to play with fire so much? If used properly this could be huge, just don’t point it at the carpet!

Always wanted one – now what?

Like so many tricks that you want so badly, when you get them you don’t quite know what to do with them.

I have two of these now! Basically, they are thin walled glasses that you can repeatedly show with liquid in, drink it or pour it somewhere and the liquid comes back at will. Very nice. The routines seem obvious, I’ve just got to engage in one!
