This is a great effect. The gimmick is simple to use and presents a mind-blowing finish! If I had
one complaint, it would be the distance to your spectators needs to be at least 4-5 feet or you can
clearly see the gimmick on the red bicycle card back. But if presented well and you can keep a safe
distance to avoid being caught, then it's a first rate trick. Only one person noticed the gimmick
but they were very close to me. It definitely works best in low-light table hopping or street
magic. I've used it at bars/clubs as well and the finale always gets a huge response!
I love
the concept and I'll continue to think of ways I can repurpose the gimmick to do other presentations
and routines.

I like the multiple magic moments. Easy to do, so you can concentrate on the presentation. Fast
reset. Only small difficulty is you shouldn't perform for the same audience twice, because one of
the cards selected remains the same. You shouldn't perform the same trick twice, anyway! Otherwise
great trick with fun built in.

This is one of those effects were the response is crazy compared too the work in the effect .I was
aware of several versions of red hot momma" however this is the one I will use .This is a classic
effect over method" which is a worker .

Any time couples are involved this is a go to trick. I do a lot of private house parties and
restaurant magic and I have moved this trick up to the front of the line for presentation when there
is a couple present. It is easy to do and the gimmick is well made, and lines up perfectly. Cody
has come up with a great gimmick. I keep the gimmick in a card deck which keeps it for the future
after a very short and easy reset. Good for a table with Mom and Dad or Grandpa and Grandma when
the kids are present. They get it too.

This is a unique take on a classic everyone does. A fresh premise, that gives a good surprise at the
end. Now while I won't be using this over my current version, I strongly recommend it. If you don't
care to carry an almost invisible gimmick that takes up less pocket space than a playing card, and
want a more emotional hook to this old effect, this is for you.
I’ll admit, I’m a huge fan of Cody Fisher.
There have been a LOT of variations of Red Hot
Mama/Chicago Opener over the years. Most of them have clever ideas, but muddy the effect rather than
improving it.
While this won’t replace the version I’ve been using since the 70’s, I will
be using it when the conditions and audience are right.
“Her Card His Card” adds a
surprising twist while keeping the effect clear, simply by using a different “marked” card and a
simple move.
I like it!
Let me start off by saying this is a new take on a classic, the red hot mama. You get all the
gimmicks you need for the effect, just supply your own deck of cards. You do not need a sharpie,
like I thought I needed. Everything comes ready to use. Cody goes over every sleight, which is super
easy to do, in a clear way. This trick is perfect for couples. Definitely gets big reactions. You
can hand the card out at the end for examination. People will ask how you changed the ink. After you
do this trick, you can go into you next card trick, such as an ambitious card routine or a card to
pocket, because you put the Her Card His Card gimmick in your pocket or card box after. Super easy
to reset too. Simply reset the gimmick and a matching card in the proper order. It's a very clever
take on an old favorite of mine. Hopefully it will be your new favorite too.
I purchased this and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to perform, yet the reaction from
Spectators was incredible. Massive reaction for little effort, great purchase !!
If you have good audience management and good sleight of hand, this trick can fool the masses. I
docked it a star because of a sleight discrepancy (imo) that can be caught if not handled correctly.
Overall, I'd definitely say it's worth buying it because the ending comes with a bang!
very clean strong effect!!!
