"A flawless piece of astonishment art featuring an exquisite method that's as heart stopping as the effect."

You write a prediction with a normal sharpie on the clear cellophane of the card case. Tragically, it's the wrong card.

Everyone stares at the INK on the cellophane... for a moment nothing happens... then like some kind of weird dream creature the INK begins to SLOWLY CREEP and GLIDE along the cellophane... the animated INK gradually RE-SHAPING itself into the correct card! You actually see the black INK STRETCH and get longer in some areas... and SHRINK and contract in others as it VISIBLY MORPHS into the correct prediction.

A spectator can then immediately rub their fingers over the transformed INK to Erase the writing... once again leaving the CLEAR UNMARKED CELLOPHANE. Right after that... you can hand out the case for EXAMINATION. It's just a NORMAL case!

  • Resets in seconds
  • Use your own box and deck
  • The case can be examined
  • Spectators can erase the ink
  • Gimmick included


No special inks or chemicals - Easily adapts to other numbers letters or images. Use as your normal card case for other effects. Resets in 10 seconds. Works with red Bicycle Rider Back and Mandolin Back decks.

The upside. This trick is amazing. You can get a huge reaction when people see your prediction of the wrong card change into the correct card right before their eyes. They can even erase the marker themselves which blows them away even more. The case can be fully examined along with the deck once the trick is complete.

Downside: Setup takes a bit if time so you need a quiet place to yourself if you need to reset. This trick is really meant for a very close trick. Perform for 3 or 4 at a time. Any more than that and the angles are off. Light has to be right as well of the drawing just looks funny.

Biggest Downside. Bicycle changed the style of their box, which no longer matches the trick. Option 1 is not to let them examine the box. Option 2 is to find the correct box.

Overall: This is a trick I will keep with me in my pocket at all times. This is one I can use over and over again I just love it.

great effect skill and good presentation required Report this review

Ok so I received this 3 days ago , played with it after my shock of what the gimmick was, but it works great I'm happy with it, finding the right bicycle card box in Canada is difficult , but I happened to have one on me, can't perform the change extremely close up cause spec in rare case might see something but distance is key, this is a great effect in gonna combine it with 99 by jay sankey ! , lost a star cause ditching gimmick on the spot can be tricky and the gimmick is fragile but reliable and easily fixable. Worth the money

It does my heart good to see something that looks just like the video. Easy to do and it looks so visual. The price is excellent and, it is one of those types of routine that is really to cool to look at due to the fact that it looks so magical....Go for it you will not be sorry.

Huge rip off. Report this review

$44 for this?!! $44?!! The gimmick part of the included product is soo flimsy and casts such a strong shadow that to show the trick to someone they'd have to be many feet away. It's not a good product. You have to be like "Here come look at my small drawing, but after you look take at least five steps back. You sir, you wear glasses...bad eye sight? Okay you can be in the front of the crowd."

It's a smart idea horribly executed in the production values. If this was made better it could hide the gimmick. As is, it's just embarrassing.

Michael Chatelain has made some wonderful products over the years. He is a talented guy for sure. This was not as advertised at all. Very disappointing. Spend your money on something better.

I bought this as one of the 5 for 99 deals. When I found out how it worked I was surprised and a little disapointed. I didn't even try it on real people for a couple weeks but once I did the reactions are worth every penny! People go nuts! You have to be concerned with lighting a little bit but that goes with most good magic. You have to try this for real people, to really apriciate how good this is! Add to cart!

This is a well thought out piece of magic. It appears that real magic is being done. I'm having lots of fun with Ink. I performed it for my wife and she absolutely loves it!

It sucks! Report this review

This gimmik is sooooo unpractical and i will never carry it because it could break so easily! I had it for like a year now and not shown it once because even the overall effect is not that magical and it doesn't look that good up close. I would give it a negative 3 stars if I could!

Good concept, but incredibly see through. Report this review

I bought this thinking that I was going to be killing it with an awesome visual effect. However, the gimmick is in plain sight (And I don't mean a good in plain sight... the moving part is exactly what the audience will be staring at). I practiced for days, and watching myself in the mirror I thought that the only reason it was so obvious to me was because I knew how it was done. I started to perform it, under various conditions, and NOBODY was impressed. Everybody

This illusion does NOT work like shown in the trailer. I've since ditched it and let it sit on my desk for the past two years.
