Rising card tricks have been around for decades. Obviously a gimmick is used, but this version is deceptively subtle! You can hand the cards and box out for inspection after the effect, just like in the trailer, and no one I've presented this to can find anything gimmicked :). I use a Marlo Tilt to place the chosen card into the deck. For my handling, this works better than the method shown in the video. Great effect, simple to perform, and once you have loaded their freely selected card, its all showmanship.

I am kind of obsesed with the rising card plot. So I have tried a lot of different methods. As far as I am concerned this is the cleanest one.
Also it is important to say that everything you hear in the trailer is true. Just be as gentle as you can with the gimmicks.
A great worker's piece for it's price, guaranted to serve you well.

This easy to learn illusion delivers eye popping reactions. If you're looking for a quick trick to show what magic is all about buy Rising Card by Henry Evans.

I AM disappointed it is a weak riser,I tried everything I could think of to make it better and when he says to use half a deck then they think something is going on and to squeeze the box, then they know it is some kind of gimmick they feel,no way I can use this in a show.
