Out of stock.

A deck of cards is shown, and cut to bring the King of Diamonds (for example) to the face. It is then put into a (provided) wineglass to prevent any possibility of sleight of hand.

Now the King of Diamonds is deliberately removed and pushed back into the deck, leaving the Six of Spades (for example) showing. A handkerchief is flicked over the cards, and the King of Diamonds has jumped right back to the front. The King is removed to show the Six of Spades is still there.

Following the popular six card repeat theme, the effect is repeated a second and third time. On the fourth try, a Joker makes an appearance. Finally the Joker is put away and the King jumps back for the last time.

An ideal Parlor or Club effect, the Come-Back Card comes complete and ready to perform. No complicated resets, good visibility, and strong visual impact make this an ideal item for your next season's show. Complete with a suggested presentation and ready to perform.

I saw Martin Lewis perform this routine many years ago at the Columbus Magi-Fest and it has been stuck in my memory ever since. I was looking for a fun stand-up card routine and am delighted that I chose the Comedy Comeback Card.

What is good about it is that it is entertaining and visual and when the spectators think they might have an idea of how it is done there is a twist that totally puts them off the method. The plot is similar to the 6 Card Repeat using "I saw a magician perform a card trick once and thought it was so great I had to learn how to do it ..." This is a visual stand-up trick with cards that is not a "pick a card" trick, but is similar to a face-up ambitious card except the cards are held in a wine glass the entire time.

You receive a pack of cards, gimmicks, a fairly nice cloth you can perform with and a cheap plastic wine glass to help you learn the routine. I would recommend finding a real wine glass with a sturdy stem and bowl large enough to hold a deck of cards to perform with. There is a link to an online video with Martin Lewis teaching the routine. It does not take long to learn and it plays very well. The only down side is that no one should be behind you, but the angles can be kept pretty wide. There is a mild clean-up at the end by putting the cards away in the case.

In short, a great routine at a great price that packs small and plays big. I perform mostly stand-up magic and use a variety of standard props such as ring and rope, one coin routine, Benson Bowl, Egg Bag, Remote Viewing Die, etc. The Comedy Comeback Card fits well into this type of set.

Very fine effect but a bit cumbersome to learn. I gave it 4 (vs 5) stars since I felt the explanation was not as complete as I've come to expect. Instructions were printed on 3 pages and provided a web site to view the actual effect being performed by Martin Lewis at the Magic Castle. Having a more detailed video explanation available on "My Penguin Magic" would have been extremely welcome. (I can read...but I learn much faster with a visual explanation.) While I'm pleased to now own the effect, I would have expected a bit more for the $65 price tag.

Great Effect Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 20th, 2022
This is a great stand-up effect if you don't have people behind you. I do suggest that you also get the book "Making Magic" and the download "At The Table Live Lecture - Martin Lewis October 21st 2015." Both are worthy in their own right, but with respect to the Comedy Comeback Card, each has subtleties mentioned that neither of the others do. The lack of these subtleties dropped the rating of this product from a 5 down to a 4.
