I like this effect because the spectators don't know what's coming. It also has the "oops, the magician screwed up" moment that is always good for laughs. In fact, I would play up that aspect even harder. Keep cutting trying to find the spectator's card, and act more and more frustrated. This gives you even more time and misdirection with which to perform the mercury fold.

One thing about the demo video... I would NEVER say, "Look, my hand is empty" and then show just one hand... because as soon as you do that, the spectator's eyes are immediately drawn to the OTHER hand, which is clenched suspiciously at your side. Very bad.

Aside from the possibility of making performance errors like that, the trick is easy to perform. The mercury fold is not difficult because it needs to be done during misdirection. It's not a move you're trying to perform to fool anyone. What takes practice is working out the timing of WHEN to do it, moreso than HOW to do it. The only other move you need to do is controlling the selected card, which is well explained and shouldn't be a problem.

This one can be angle sensitive, but I'd still suggest it. It's a crazy effect that gets powerful reactions when done correctly. Just make sure you practice it in front of a mirror.

Also with this download, you learn a priceless move. I'd highly recommend purchasing this download!

This trick has that wow factor that blows people away. The mercury card fold is something any serious card magician needs to know. With this sleight, the sky's the limit on miracles you can perform. One of the better instant downloads.

For the price of the trick versus the impact in audience reaction...it doesn't get much better than this! I've been performing this ever since the day I got it and it's great. If you're looking for a closer, you just found one. If you want an instant miracle...you just found it. If you want a hard hitting trick for not a lot of money, INSTANTLY...then you just found it. Add to card and see what I'm talking about!

I like this trick because if u think about it its impromto after u have set it up it can be performed again and again (pretty good for street magic as well) :-)

Fun little piece to add to your act. It generates big reactions and is a fairly lightweight effect. Definite add-to-cart!!

This trick is an absolute stunner. There is some set up but it's just something that will take you a minutes to do at the beginning of the day and you are set to do for the rest of the day. The cool part about this card to shoe trick is that there is absolutely no force required and it can be done with a signed card. The move you learn in this trick is a great move and it can be used for many other tricks out there. The price is so low for what you get so buy this trick and you won't regret it.

takes some work but if you are welling to get past the set up, it is a very cool trick. I like it because it works good with smal groups, and large ones. The relly freak out the reations are very good. add to Cart.

I love tricks where people never see the ending coming. Something that really surprise people and this is one of the best examples. Leaves spectators speechless and is very simple to do. Just master one easy move and you have it down. Perfect for day to day.

With the different crowds that are repeat business for me (friends, family, work mates and the like) the sentence that I hear the most is "hey, do that trick where you pull the card out of your shoe". Apart from being a frustrating punchline give away, it is also a clear reminder of the impact of this trick. People rarely remember things that seem possible. This trick makes no sense and people will remember that for a long time. Buy now.
