Bloody Card Stab

         

A card is selected and shuffled back into the deck. The magician tries to find the card without success.

 

In anger (frustration, desperation?) he takes out a mean-looking knife and after building up the suspense, stabs the deck! When the knife is lifted, the blade is covered with blood! He wipes the knife blade clean (leaving the handkerchief stained with blood!) and puts the knife away. He then runs through the deck until he finds a blood-stained card .... it is the selected card! 

         

This is the most unusual "horror card stab" in the world! An ideal trick for werewolves and vampires! Everything supplied including bloodied Bicycle card, bloodied knife and bloodied handkerchief!  

 

 

£11

Card Balloon

 

This is a slight variation of "Through the Sound Barrier".

The magician opens out a deck of cards and the spectator freely selects one. The deck is closed and the card openly pushed into the centre. The card case is closed and then bound with a ribbon which has an ornamental knife attached to its other end. The magician now holds the deck together with a balloon on top. After a bit of suspense and build-up, the balloon is burst with the knife, the deck falls and the selected card appears at the magician's fingertips! 

         

This is a stunning effect both for close-up magic and stage. It is very easy to perform and the apparatus are simple and natural. Use the effect ideally as a finale to a your card act. Furnished with a special Bicycle poker deck, balloons and a beautiful ornamental knife. 

 

 

 

£40

 Card Fan

 

 

A card is selected and torn into six pieces by a spectator. One corner is retained by her (or him) and the rest are dropped into a folded handkerchief.

 

The spectator blows several times on the hanky to make the pieces vanish, but without success. The magician offers to help and brings forth a small, battery-operated hand fan which the spectator uses to blow on the hanky. 

         

After some gags, the handkerchief is opened out and and the torn pieces have vanished! The spectator then switches off the fan and to her surprise and the audience's amusement, the selected card is found restored in place of the spinning blades of the fan! One corner is missing .... that held be the spectator herself! 

         

This very original effect is a real winner! It is very entertaining and surprising and is guaranteed to bring laughs and gasps from any audience! 

         

Supplied with battery-operated hand-fan, an elegant Devil's Handkerchief, extra Bicycle cards and the routine. You supply your own deck (you can also use any deck).

   

£22

Card Levitation

 

 

A selected card is signed and returned to the deck.

 

After a simple shuffle and cut, the magician causes the card to rise to the top of the deck.

 

This is repeated another time and then the magician offers to demonstrate how the card keeps rising to the top. 

         

The card is turned face down on top of the deck and the deck placed on the open palm. Slowly and mysteriously, the card rises and levitates above the deck then settles down again! It is finally removed and left with the spectator as a souvenir!

         

This is a very surprising close-up levitation, very, very effective! You are supplied with a simple Bicycle poker card gimmick and you supply your own deck!

 

 

 

£11

Chameleon

 

         

Show three cards. Put two of them together and insert the third card between them cross-wise. Push the card right through and it changes slowly and visibly into another card! All three cards can be entirely shown back and front!

         

You receive two cards and a gimmicked card. All three cards can be clearly shown. The card can be changed slowly or quickly.

 

The gimmicked card can also be added to a normal deck and you can change indifferent cards into the spectator's card just by pushing the card cross-wise through the deck!

         

The change is entirely automatic and very easy to do. Supplied in Bicycle poker cards.

 

 

 

£15

Comedy Card Routine

         

This is based on the "Submarine Card" effect but with a humorous ending. Basically, the spectator follows the magician's simple moves with four cards. Somehow the Magician's cards are always all face-down while the spectator ends up with a face-up card! Each time the spectator fails a card is removed yet he still fails to get the cards right! 

         

 In the end, the trick is done .... would you believe .... with only one card .... still the magician's card is face-down while the spectator's is face-up!

         

Very hilarious and entertaining! This will be your feature close-up effect! Available in Bicycle poker cards or Piatnik bridge cards.

 

 

 

 

 

 

£3

4D Coin Deck

 

A Card is selected. The magician shows (or borrows) a coin and a glass tumbler. The tumbler is inverted on top of the deck. The coin is slapped on top of the inverted tumbler and it is seen to penetrate it to land inside on top of the deck!

 

When the coin is removed, it is seen to contain a miniature of the selected card!

         

You can also just cause a coin to penetrate the tumbler or make a coin appear visibly inside the tumbler! You are supplied with a Bicycle poker deck, the gimmick, replacements and mini card images. Provide your own coin!    

Also supplied are three stunning effects and you can easily invent others! Use the trick as the perfect link to switch from cards to coins or vice-versa!   

 

£13

Finger Printed!

        

The spectator selects a card which is then lost in the deck. The magician brings out a magnifying glass which he uses to scan the back of the cards, a la Sherlock Holmes!

 

After some by-play, one card is removed and shown...it is the selected card! 

         

The wonder worker now shows how he managed to find the card. He turns the card around and holds the magnifying glass over its back. To everybody's amusement, the "spectator's fingerprints" are all over the back of the card! As a climax, the magnifying glass is removed, and, to everyone's surprise,  the back of the card is seen to be really covered with messy fingerprints!

          

This is obviously not a serious effect! If you want to make your audience laugh, get this trick! Supplied with special Bicycle finger-printed card, magnifying glass and the full routine.   

 

£5

Frisky Cards

     

The magician offers to show his famous Five Card Trick. He shows five cards, squares them up and holds them in his hand. Before he can go further, one card suddenly jumps away from the packet! Slightly puzzled, he will do his just as famous Four Card Trick but before he can proceed, another card suddenly jumps away! 

         

Visibly shaken, he will do his Three Card Trick instead whereupon another card jumps away! Really annoyed now, he counts and shows two cards left and before he can think of what to do .... another card takes off! One card left? .... that also jumps away!

         

Shaun Yee's own original stand-up effect, very visual and very funny! It is very easy to do and is ideal for the emcee, the comic and the humorous magician. No sleights! If you can count to five, you can do it! Made with Bicycle poker cards.  

 

£8.50

Hypnotic Cards

         

The magician fans out a packet of playing cards and shows them back and front. He then squares them up and holds them in his left hand. He makes mystic gestures over the packet then slowly, he pulls the cards down one at a time as a sort of step ladder. Strangely enough, the cards adhere to each other forming a long ribbon of cards!

         

The magician now makes different designs with the ribbon of cards, and at the end, closes them all into a packet again. Finally, he tosses the cards, one at a time into a container and leaves the audience with no clue as to how they were magically strung together!

          

The trick is very unusual and easy to do. No sleight of hand whatsoever. You are supplied with about 17 special cards which can be shown front and back.

 

 

 

£11

Indestructible Card

         

Show a card back and front at the fingertips. Tear a corner off, change your mind and toss it back towards the card ... the corner visibly appears back on the card and the card is completely restored!

         

Do this trick as a quick bit of business and the audience will remember it long after they have forgotten the bigger items! Use it as the perfect ending to a torn and restored card effect .... the last corner finally restores itself! 

         

Note these points:  * After the corner is torn off, you can show the card back and front with the corner really missing!  * The corner will appear back on the card without any covering!  * The gimmick card is precision-made!  * Available in different makes.

Lelex Jumbo Electronic Rising Cards

(Lelex/Shaun)

    

Here is one of the most exciting versions of the Jumbo Rising Cards! This version is the creation of Lelex and Shaun Yee.

         

Three cards are selected from a normal deck. The magician exhibits a second deck of jumbo cards sitting in its houlette. The deck is removed and the houlette freely shown to be unprepared.

The deck is then replaced in it. 

         

The spectators name their cards. The magician gestures with his hands and the giant counterpart of the three selected cards rise out eerily from the deck! 

 

        

Note these important points:

 

         The trick is automatic. No manipulation whatsoever!

         The cards can also be selected directly from the jumbo deck, eliminating the use of a normal deck.

         The rising of the cards is under the complete control of the magician. 

          There is nothing hidden in the hands of the performer.  The cards rise when the empty hands are raised and stop when the hands are lowered!

          This is one of the most beautiful versions in the field of rising cards!

 

 

£546

Magic Singing Bird

         

Pass out five playing cards for examination then put them on the table face-down and ask the spectator to mix them up thoroughly by shuffling them around. When he is satisfied, ask him to pick up any card, to look at it an to remember it, then to replace it with the others and to mix them up thoroughly again.

         

The magician then introduces the Magic Singing Bird. He passes the bird slowly over the face down cards and suddenly its eyes start flashing and it starts chirping over one card. That card is turned over. Of course it is the selected card!

         

If you are fairly adept with cards, you can use an ordinary deck. Have a card selected and returned to the deck. Shuffle the cards but control the spectator’s card to the top or bottom of the deck. Now spread the cards around on the table keeping track of the selected card. Finish by having the Maqic Singing Bird chirp on the selected card!

         

If working for kids, use a deck of the Harry Potter Cards and let the bird find the card! You can create an appropriate story since the Harry Potter stories have owls as mail couriers!

         

Though the trick is supplied with a very cute chirping bird and some special cards, it need not be a card trick. Use the bird to find other objects as well in other mental effects. Various ideas are included and you can easily think up other uses.

£8.50

Mini Cobra

         

Have the spectator select a card from a normal deck. The chosen card is left on the table. Now take out a small "walnut" and explain that you have a prediction inside. Ask the spectator to turn over his tabled card. Now give him the walnut and ask him to open it....a little cobra pops out with a mini image of the selected card in his mouth!

         

This cute and unusual effect will also startle the ladies! It is a harmless magical joke but at the same time, a cute prediction!

 

 

 

 

 

 

£5

Pocket Card Rise

         

Have a card selected and replaced in the deck then place the deck in your breast pocket. Make a few magic gestures and the selected card rises spookily out of the pocket! Another effect? Have a card selected, signed and replaced in the deck. Shuffle the cards then turn over the top card.... it is not the selected card. Remove it and place it in your breast pocket. Shuffle the deck again and turn over the top card again.... this is the card you had just placed in your pocket! So what happened to the selected card? Make a magic pass and it slowly rises out of your pocket!

         

You will have fun (or you should have anyway!) creating other effects! You can tuck a card into your pocket and it will rise out again anytime you want - it is fully under your control at all times. Though the method is simple, it is very practical! This is really cool!

£19

Pocket Roped

         

A card is selected, returned and lost in the deck. The magician then places the deck in his coat pocket. Now a rope is freely shown then one end is lowered into the pocket. When the rope is withdrawn, the selected card is found knotted at the end of the rope!

         

This trick can be performed close-up as well and is ideal for the wandering table worker. A special rope and gimmick is supplied with ideas for other presentations as well.

 

£17

Roped !

         

A card is selected and replaced in the deck and the deck shuffled by the spectator himself. It is then dropped into a box or some other container. A rope is then displayed and one end lowered into the box. When the end is pulled out again, the selected card is found knotted onto the rope!

         

This is an evergreen effect! The trick is supplied with our usual high quality soft white cotton rope, super strong gimmick and full instructions. Use your own deck!   

 

£13

Signed Card to Pocket

         

The spectator selects a card, signs it and returns it to the deck. The magician, after shuffling the deck, puts it behind his back. After a few seconds, he brings forward a card. The spectator names his card. The magi looks at the card in his hand, announces that it is indeed the correct card, then changes it to a different card which he turns around to show!

         

The audience is not impressed! The deck is handed to the spectator to check .... his selected card is missing! Showing his hands clearly empty, the magician reaches into the inside breast pocket of his jacket and brings out the signed card!

         

You will love this! No sleight-of-hand is involved! Every move is clean and natural! You can also use the invisible gimmick for a no-palming card to wallet! Fantastic!!!   

 

£15.50

Stabbed!

         

Have a card selected, signed and returned to the deck. Shuffle the cards then bind them with an elastic band. Hold the bound deck up with one hand and display a pocket knife with the other. Drop the deck, stab at it with the knife, and the deck falls to the ground leaving the selected card impaled on the blade of the knife!

         

As far as we know, this is the only version of really stabbing the actual chosen card in mid-air! Supplied with Bicycle poker cards but the gimmick can be changed to another brand simply by sticking a card from your own deck on top. 

         

Though you can use any sharp penknife, one is included to make the trick complete. Three original routines are included including one where the spectator stabs his own card! You will love them all! Supplied as Bicycle poker deck.  

 

£21

SY Double Climax Card Castle

 

         

Two cards are selected then replaced and lost in the deck. The magician shows a large envelope and removes two large playing cards which are his predictions.

 

However, the predictions are wrong and do not match the chosen cards. The wonder worker says the magic words and the large cards transform into a castle of regular cards!  

         

However the chosen cards are still missing! As the audience watch carefully,  one of the chosen card rises slowly and mysteriously out of the top of the castle! What about the second selected card? The magician turns the castle around and ..... behold! .....all the cards at the back are replicas of the chosen card!

         

This is our own card castle with a double climax! The rising of the card is always under your control. No complicated mechanism is involved. The rise is easy and you cause the card to rise when you want. The effect can be presented complete as described, or you can modify it and use just the rising effect or the all cards alike effect. This is cool! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

£42

SY Rising Card

         

Different effects are possible with the SY Rising Card Gimmick like the following:

Rising Card from Fan:

The selected card rises out from the fanned deck!

         

Correcting an Error:

£6.50

The Chinese Prediction

         

The magician shows an envelope with a written prediction inside. A spectator thoroughly shuffles a deck of cards and cuts it to his heart's content then selects a card. The envelope is opened and the prediction given to the spectator to read....but help!.... it is written in Chinese! 

         

No problem there! The magician calmly translates the prediction to match the selected card and the audience is definitely not impressed! After more by-play, the spectator is asked to turn over the envelope. To everyone's surprise, a duplicate of the selected card is found on the back!

         

This is a very amusing and surprising effect! The card selection itself is worth the price of the whole trick! The complete routine with different presentation ideas is supplied together with the special SY Forcing Deck (Bicycle poker), a genuine Chinese prediction, and envelopes.

£17.50

The SY Forcing Deck

         

Fan out and show the faces of a deck of cards. The cards are all definitely different. Shuffle the deck thoroughly and give it to the spectator himself to shuffle until he is satisfied. He then puts the deck on the table and cuts it as many times as he likes, until he is again satisfied that all the cards are thoroughly mixed. The top card of the well-shuffled deck or from the last cut is placed aside. Believe it or not, it is a forced card !

         

No rough and smooth, no short and long cards, no double faces or double backs, no thick cards, and no sleight of hand. The spectator himself can shuffle and cut the cards as thoroughly as he likes. The magician does not touch the deck once he passes it to the spectator. Yet at the end, the spectator picks a forced card ! Available as Bicycle poker deck.

 

 

£13.50

Transposition Surprise

 

 

The magician displays a deck of cards, cuts it a few times, then turns over the top card. This card is noted and dealt face-down on the table in front of the spectator who immediately covers it with one hand. The magi cuts the deck a few more times then turns over another card. This card is also noted and turned face-down and dealt onto the table and the spectator covers it with his other hand.  

         

The wonder worker now boldly states that he will make one card disappear and make it reappear with the other card! After a couple of attempts, it seems that the magician has failed for the cards are still separated under the spectator's hands. The spectator is asked to turn over the cards.

 

To his  surprise, all the pips have disappeared from one card and have appeared all over the face of the other card! 

         

"I told you I would make one card join the other card and it has!" says the magician, "However, the deck is no good with cards like these!" So saying, he places the two cards back in the deck, cuts the latter a few times then spreads the cards out on the table. The two cards are back to normal again!

         

This very amusing trick is supplied with the special Bicycle poker cards (no deck) and different methods of handling and finishing. Just add the cards to your own Bicycle deck. You will love this trick!   

£8.50

Wonder Woodpecker
 

       

 

 

The spectator selects a card which is then lost in the deck.

 

 

 

The magician shows a toy woodpecker which he winds up and attaches to the said deck. The little woodpecker starts pecking away and when it has finished, it is removed. The deck is now checked and one card is found to be full of little holes – needless to say, it is the selected card!

 

 

 

This is a real off-beat and my original effect, long unavailable now back in limited stock. You receive a cute toy woodpecker, a special Bicycle deck, a special card and different ideas which include a presentation with your own normal Bicycle deck.
