“A visual illusion, with a very clever and deviously simple method. I dig it!” - Eric Ross

“Well that escalated quickly! A super visual and super easy routine with just four cards!” - Steve Gore

"Going up will make you look like a sleight of hand expert, it’s really visual and it will going into my walkaround set" - Daniel Chard

“4 years of hard sleight of hand solved with 4 ingenious gaffs. LOVE THIS!” - Victor Sanz

Perform one of the most visual card tricks ever with only four cleverly designed cards. A King dramatically rises through a spread of cards one by one. It looks like trick photography!

Here’s what happens:

You display four cards, one of which is the King of Hearts. The cards are spread so you can see each individual one, with the King on the bottom. With just a shake, the King visually jumps to the second position. Then the third, and with a wave, it rises all the way to the top of the packet.

Going Up is astonishingly easy. There are no moving parts; the special gaff cards do almost all of the work for you. This remarkable effect is perfect for the beginner, but the experts will love the ingenious design. Printed on Maiden Back playing cards by the United States Playing Card Company, this is the perfect trick to carry around in your wallet or purse. Take the Ambitious Card to the next level when you perform Going Up by Sean Ridgeway.

Nice, cute snack Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 8th, 2024
This is a nice break from the serious stuff, but don't discount it, it looks very magical. Nicely made. It's no spoiler that these are gaffed prints, but they are done well: working on learning the routine I was adjusting the cards and from eight inches away the printing fooled me well enough I tried to slide the image of the card.
It's nice, it doesn't take up any room, really and you end 'almost clean', the ending looks clean, not a bunch of gaffs tumbling out, you can pretty casually just lay the cards down, pick up your deck and put away those four cards like there's nothing funny at all.

Before I could finish the video, my nine year old granddaughter figured out how to perform this stunning routine.
I love it, and now, I'll have to have another one because, guess who got mine!

Going up Great! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 18th, 2024
Picked this little gem up really cool.
A little practice and it's very simple... you just have to find the nuance of holding the cards correctly and then everything flows. I put these cards in a regular deck and just pull it out and I'm ready to go.

Pleasant Surprise Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 30th, 2024
This trick was nicer than I expected. After watching the first bit about how to work the gimmick I thought: this is a nice little trick! And was prepared to give it 4 stars.... Then after seeing the bonus effects and nice quite sleights added in at the end that any beginning can practice with- I decided 5/5.

Especially for the value. I was fortunate enough to have it included for spending $100 at the site, but even for $20 I would gladly pay for what you get.

Extremely Visual Magic Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 7th, 2024
This effect is very visual, and easily accomplished. There are multiple handlings shown. Nick does a great job in going over the very simple workings and shows a variety of more advanced moves for an opponent Ben more stunning display.
None of the moves taught are difficult.
Sean does teach two various methods to use if the “gimmicks” are not on you.
I found them both interesting!

I highly recommend purchasing this effect for a fast and easily mesmerizing effect!

Fantastic playing card illusion! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 2nd, 2024
This trick is so well designed that when I practice it on myself I can't open smile because it really looks like actual magic.

The gimmicks/props are genius and very well made.

Seems like perfect trick for table hopping.

They are maiden back bicycles, so keep that in mind if you're planning to use these in conjunction with a deck of cards.

If you're into card magic or visual illusions you should definitely love this!

Takes time to learn how to set up before performance time. But once you figured out how to handle the setup, you'll be okay.

Not For Me Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 16th, 2024
I really LIKE this, but its not something I can use.... as it just doesn't fit my style. I wont go into detail as I don't want to give anything away, its just not something I plan on using.... With that said, I'll again say I like the way it looks and don't regret buying it. As the saying goes.... "Different Strokes For Different Folks"
