"Recently, I was hired to perform at a private party for Ferrari. I performed this for every guest. They loved it!" - Josh Burch

"As a huge fan of magic with trading cards, I can now see endless possibilities that have just been unlocked, without the need to gaff or destroy my rarest cards!" - Michael O'Brien

Are you ready for nonstop visual magic with props that anyone will recognize?!

Perform eye popping visual card changes with iconic trading cards. If you love trading card games like Pokemon, or Magic the Gathering, you can now combine your hobbies and create an enthralling miracle with your unique collection.

Here's what happens:
Start by showing your audience a stack of rare Pokémon cards. You explain that your friends and siblings were always trying to steal your cards, so you would hide them disguised as common cards. You then slowly change each card into a common card, one by one. Your audience can look at and inspect the cards as they change.

Once all of the cards have changed, you have a stack of common cards. But don't worry, just as quickly as they changed, they all change back into your rare collection!

The routine is designed so that the spectator can handle and examine the cards after each change! We even teach an alternative handling where you can end clean and have everything examined. You can mix and match the moves to create your own routines and you can add cards from your own collection to make your routine unique to you.

Uncommon uses Penguin Magic's patented Dubs and Sings. These special sleeves allow you to perform incredible card magic with regular trading cards. The sleeves keep your cards safe, they make them easy to handle, and they alllow you to gaff your trading cards without damaging them.

You will receive an assortment of genuine Pokemon cards. You also receive all of the gimmicks you will need. Everything is ready to go out of the box so you can start performing immediately!

This isn’t a normal card trick, this is Uncommon!

With tcg cards making a comeback, this is the perfect way to re-imagine packet effects. Josh’s wildcard handling is wonderful! 5 stars for an effect/utility decive(s) that will be used for gigs.

Very cool version Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 2nd, 2023
Great trick for blowing the minds of anyone who loves trading card type games. Since the cards provided are random they may or may not be ones that stand out to some players. It is a very clear and straightforward presentation with only three easy sleights. It is a nice break from traditional packet tricks with playing cards.
The video instruction is well shot with all the thoughts behind the moves explained. The presentation could have been a bit more polished. There are some spots where he has to back up because he got the order of the routine al little off. Another where he shows you one way and proceeds to do it another before going on.
In the end it's not a complicated trick and like any Wild Card type effect it's how you tell the story. All in all, I really like this one..

Pretty good Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 30th, 2023
This is actually a pretty good concept. My son is really into pokemon cards so ive been looking for a decent effect for a while just to show him with his cards.

The fact that this allows you to work with any trading cards is pretty great. The cards arent gimmicked just the utility device that comes with it so you can use your favorite pokemon cards.

I even created a concept that involves Pokémon evolving in the process.

The gimmick is well made and should last a long time.

I also like the fact that you have the option to end clean (albeit with a switch, but not a difficult one).

This is obviously for a very niche audience, but if someone is very interested in pokemon cards (or magic the gathering, etc... this will be a great choice.

The Most Flexible Wild Card Ever! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 30th, 2023
Uncommon is the most innovative wild card "apparatus" I've seen, and I have quite a collection. The routine itself is a solid, well-taught wild card effect, but the ability to adapt it to any routine with most standard collectible game cards (e.g., Pokemon or Magic the Gathering) makes this outstanding. I bought two for even more routine flexibility, and so I can instantly play to different audiences. Many thanks and kudos to Josh Burch for this fantastic product!

‘Uncommon’ by Josh Burch Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 28th, 2024
‘Uncommon,’ by Josh Burch is a wild card routine done with Pokémon cards. The effect comes with everything you need and is ready to go right out of the box! Traditionally, the ‘wild card’ plot of being able to take a Joker (the wild card,) that is among an assortment of indifferent cards and just by rubbing the wild card Joker’s face against the face of an indifferent card. The indifferent card somehow instantly changes into a matching wild card! This plot has been a favorite of magicians.
If you’re like me and enjoy performing card tricks, but want to “give your audience a break” from the standard playing cards. Then, ‘Uncommon’ is ideal.
You get an assortment of Pokémon cards and specially designed sturdy patten cover sleeves, made, to fit standard Pokémon cards and protect your cards throughout your many performances. So, if you like. You can swop the Pokémon cards that come with the set for your favorite ones!
Josh’s routine is direct and effective.
Each change is surprising right up to the moment that the changed card is handed out to be examined. In Josh’s routine. The ‘energy’ Pokémon card being the least valuable Pokémon card represents the ‘uncommon’ wild card. The more valuable assortment of Pokémon cards are displayed. Josh’s ‘tale’ how he wants to protect his valuable Pokémon cards from his thieving brother by using one worthless energy card and places it atop of his more valuable Pokémon cards in a hopeless attempt to fool his brother into thinking that the stack were all worthless Pokémon energy cards. But relies that wasn’t convincing. So, he found a better way. Both fronts and backs of the cards are convincingly shown and yet by rubbing the face of the ‘uncommon’ energy wild card against the face of an indifferent card. The indifferent Pokémon card changes into a worthless Pokémon energy card.
With each change displaying a colorful visual delight!
Then as if by some magical force. All of the cards visually and instantly changes back to an assortment of valuable Pokémon cards.
In the very well made video. Josh covers everything that you need to know.
He even gives a live performance.
‘Uncommon’ is a fun interactive routine that you can carry as your EDC.
I recommend ‘Uncommon’, by Josh Burch!

Worth the money Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 25th, 2024
It's easy to learn, it's fun, and you can get creative with any kind of table top card game. The routine that's in the demo seems a bit tamed, but compared to the potential of what you can do with these...Oh, man...You get the gimmick that's really easy to understand and you get to learn some card moves that goes along with the routine. It's worth the money you spend on it.

Magical and customizable! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 7th, 2024
Do not sleep on this! Collectible card games are still very popular and this routine comes with Pokemon cards, but it can be customized to use Magic, Yugi-oh! or Lorcana, the HOTTEST CCG on the market to perform a simple effective and relevant version of Wild Card! I love it and it’s now part of my EDC because it’s a card trick that is not a card trick!

On second thought, don’t get this. I want it all for myself!

Fun for kids-- tutorial could be better Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 21st, 2024
I've done this one for a few kids ages 10 and under and they've really been blown away. Easy to perform for this beginner.

The tutorial could be better. It looks like it was done in one take without any editing and contains some mistakes that interfere with the learning. I wish that the bearded guy had done the tutorial, as his performance in the video used to promote the product is very smooth and good.
