"I have always wanted to present a close-up version of Cardiographic but have been unable to create my dream pad until recent advances in material technology made it possible.
"My criteria was simple, I wanted a pad that would comfortably fit in my pocket. That could be done surrounded under the closest scrutiny. It had to be self-contained and needed a fast reset for strolling, and most important of all, it had to look impossible."
- MARTIN LEWIS

With Close-up Cardiographic, Martin has taken his classic sketchpad Rising Card to the next level. The effect is the same as Cardiographic, but built for close-up performances; a drawing of a selected card rises from a drawing of a deck of cards. The resulting impossible object is handed out as a souvenir.

  • The brand new super-clean method is self-contained and angle-proof.
  • The audience sees you draw on the pad prior to the card rising.
  • Fast reset for restaurant or strolling.
  • Includes 50 giveaway pages.
  • Made in America and built to last.

This trick has always been my favorite and was dreaming of a closeup version. This one fits the billl. The video is very informative and the gimmick is very easy to use but the video does not go into making a new one with much detail. Like what to do if it gets damaged or stained.

Nice trick Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 2nd, 2018
This close-up version of Cardiographic is a nice trick. My gimmick was well made and the online video instructions, including tuning tips, are clear and easy to follow. My pad would bind a little initially, so I followed the advice on the video and removed a few pages. Very happy that I purchased this.

Very durable gimmick Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 14th, 2018
I can proudly say what a brilliant idea by Martin Lewis! Ive been wanting a cardiographic but I dont do stage magic. I just do close up or street magic and im very gladly this has come! Dream come true now! When I opened the box I was kinda hesitant about the gimmick. Seems like the gimmick will be ripped of once i flip it but as soon as I followed the advice of Martin. boom! Very nice! Very durable gimmick! Cant believe it! Thanks!

Amazing effect and great value Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 28th, 2018
This effect is incredible and will allow me to carry it around and perform it all the time.

The price is great and the prop is well made.

Mr. Lewis does a great job explaining the inner workings and provides tips for keeping the prop working and well maintained.

Great concept but without reconstruction not to use. Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 25th, 2019
For this price I expect a tool to use. I have to rebuild it because the spiral is to small, the Handling is not naturel, and the gimick could be detected if a spectator has good eyes.

Great effect but Spirals make it difficult Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 30th, 2018
The method on this is phenomenal and it's a great trick. The problem with it is that the spirals do not allow the pages to flip open easily, which can severely hinder the execution of the effect.

The cover and page of the pad get caught mid flip because the spiral binding slants and does not allow for a clean flip-over. They did this so that you can easily twist out the spiral and replace sheets, but it's a massive design flaw and prevents this effect from really being a practical "worker" for any sort of constant strolling gig.

The proper way to make this would have been like a ParaPad, when the spiral binding is straight, not slanted, and opens like mini plastic binder rings to insert new pages. I would pay double the price to see it made properly- and with plastic covers to prevent ripping. It would make the difference of this being a go to worker effect for me, or leaving it in my drawer, which is where it is now.

Excellent! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 4th, 2018
Gimmick is very well made, comes with refills, and additional refills are reasonably priced!

It's easy to see that the design and execution of this trick was carefully thought out, from the card rising to how the paper is given out.

Very easy to do with a little confidence and practice. No difficult moves. For the easiest performance, I recommend that you use a "card selection" that can be done in the spectator's hands alone so that you can hold onto the notebook already to go. How about you "cut deeper"?

I love this! I definitely recommend. I wish it was about twenty dollars cheaper, I'd buy several of them.
