They say crime doesn't pay, but whoever said that didn't own Overdraft.

Overdraft is a set of precision engineered gimmicks that give you the power to perform EXPLOSIVE feats of magic and mentalism.

Meet your new everyday carry. Overdraft's reactions are WILD; watch the trailer to see how you can blow people away (and it's very easy to do).


Paul Fowler is a working pro; he performs Overdraft in the real world for real, paying audiences. This means you can be confident that each and every routine that you will learn has been tried, tested and perfected. But it doesn't stop there; master mentalist Lewis Le Val will teach you even more invaluable routines and ideas for both mentalists and magicians alike.

  • You will learn how to make a banknote appear from between two credit cards, and later in the tutorial, you will learn how to produce an entire wad of cash! (Works with all currencies and denominations.)
  • You will learn how to make two credit cards switch places under seemingly impossible conditions. (Think the classic two-card transposition but with credit cards.)
  • You will learn how to visually "clone" a credit card, directly in front of your spectators' eyes. (Breathtaking pickpocket-themed magic.)
  • You will learn how to repeatedly predict which credit card will be chosen, long in advance. (Influence or empower your spectator.)
  • And you will learn how to apparently control your spectator's memory and prove it afterwards with a photograph taken on your spectator's mobile phone! (Possibly the freakiest effect on the project.)

All of these effects, and more, will fit inside a SINGLE slot in your wallet meaning you will ALWAYS have impossible, reputation-making demonstrations to perform at ANY opportunity without using any extra pocket space.

Each credit card is manufactured to the impeccable standards The 1914 is known for. 

Typically, gimmicked credit cards cannot be scrutinized by spectators because they don't contain real chips. But these do. In fact, the cards look so realistic, our original shipment was seized by port authorities because it was flagged as potential mass credit card fraud! (But fear not, yours will arrive without a hiccup and are 100% legal to perform magic with.)

Whether you are a magician, pickpocket or mentalist, Overdraft is a tool you will carry with you always.

Outstanding quality. Detailed tuition. Mind blowing magic.

This is Overdraft.

"I love this trick! It reminds me of the thief-style magic in the Now You See Me movies!"
- Andrew Basso(The Illusionists, Britain's Got Talent)

"An alternative to the colour changing knives that makes much more sense! A great gimmick that takes up no pocket space and leaves audiences amazed."
- Damien O'Brien (Killer Magic, Britain's Got Talent)

"Overdraft went instantly into my wallet. My mind is bubbling with routine ideas!"
- Alan Rorrison (Penn & Teller Fool Us, Prolific Magic Creator)

Cards are 5 stars; video isn't that great Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 8th, 2023
OK, the cards are great quality and deserves 5 stars. I love credit card magic. These cards are "real". For comparison, some other gimmicked cards, like dollar-bill-to-credit-card and wondercard, are made so that one side of the card is actually made of paper! Both sides of these overdraft credit cards is made of plastic. To my knowledge, there is no other gimmicked credit card of this type in the market, which explains why they can charge $50 for it.

On to the video tutorial. It annoyed me that they basically showed the same move many many many times with a tiny variation each time. Sorry, that does not count as a new trick, that is a variation on the same trick. It felt like they just wanted to make the video longer so you would believe you were getting a lot of value from it. But instead of doing that, they could have taught other moves, like tenkai palm, credit card vanish/production, backpalm, etc.

Perfect EDC! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 7th, 2024
Overdraft is such a well designed trick, and they are super high quality as well. I agree that $50 is not cheap, as many other people have said, but the three cards you receive are extremely well made and indistinguishable from normal credit cards. Also, yes, while the normal changing cards routine is great, what also stands out to me is all the extra built in effects they included in the cards. There's an extra 37 and 1089 trick that I don't believe they even mention which is built into the standard black card, and a magic square trick built into the orange card! Two more things: the sunset card trick is reminiscent of Asi Wind's Double Exposure, so being able to do a similar effect with just everyday carry credit cards is just amazing! Also, I don't believe anyone has pointed this out, but you do receive a standard orange and black card, so while the instruction teaches you how to transform the black card into a second orange card, you can also reverse all the instructions to make it the orange card changing into a second black card, which I like a little better with the glossy black card! But perfect EDC trick and I would highly recommend to anyone!

Good effect. Can be carried everywhere Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 15th, 2022
It’s quite a good effect but can scratch the cards very easily because if it’s nature in handling the cards for the effect. I was slightly disappointed when my card was too much scratch on it after just playing for a while. Other than that it’s a great effect and if you own a Orphic plus wallet like I do. You can end clean for the transpo like copper n silver.

High Quality, Realistic Gimmicks Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 6th, 2022
Love these... The 1914 Magic products are top shelf. Paul Fowler was wise to have partnered with them to put out his creation and give us a fantastic EDC!

These get great reactions, as everyone has heard about "cloning", but when they see "cloning" in action, they freak out.

Cards are great but... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 5th, 2024
The cards are great, the chip is perfect, the numbers looks great, but there are 2 things that disapointed me, the first is the "bank" on the orange card, its "LUUT", it feels weird to me, but its no big deal
The second thing is that the black card is a "shinny" card, and the orange is mate, but the black card get scratched very easily, just by practicing like for 25 minutes mine was very scratched
I think this is a problem because you have (kind of)2 black cards, and they should look the same, but one will be very scratched, also its an EDC, that means that they should be very durable, idk how many time the black card will last, but the orange is great

Overdraft a Hit!! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 6th, 2023
In the spirit of latest terms I hear thrown around in the magic community, I would give overdraft from a mere visual experience for the spectator a real game changer, Every Day Carry item, and definitely a GoTo and it truly packs small plays huge. I’m always interested in what fellow magicians carry on them daily as those are the real next levelers. I’m carrying this one everyday for sure.

This is so fun! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 13th, 2023
I purchased this trick last week and instantly started playing with it, I was ready to perform in just a few minutes as the moves are very basic.

What you get:
You get an excellent tutorial which includes many effects and 3 super high quality Credit Cards (1 Gaff Card) this is unlike many credit card tricks that I own because the chip is real and each card has added subtleties built in.

How hard is this:
This is super easy and only requires a simple move that most magicians already know however don’t let this put you off because this look like CGI and at the end of the routine you can show everything.

Is this worth the money?

Ok, when I purchased this I thought the price was too expensive however after actually using this every day since I feel the price is justified for many reasons. The teaching is top notch, Packaging is the best!, This is unlike any credit card trick I have seen. The Credit cards are real and should last a very, very long time. However the most important thing is the magic! This packs super small and hits very hard, Oh and it’s easy to do! These now live in my wallet and I will always have this trick on me for both magic and mentalism.

I am not a mentalist however there is a routine on this tutorial that makes me want to learn more, actually you even get a nice Magic square .pdf file as a bonus that the cards are designed around. I love this!

Best EDC out there Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 13th, 2022
What could be more natural than pulling out your credit cards?

Then bring up any number of topics - credit card cloning and fraud, con games, hypnosis - and gain your audiences interest right away.

That's what Overdraft provides - high quality, realistic-looking credit cards that you can use for any number of compelling presentations and highly visual moments.

The cards are so well made they are above scrutiny - they will never be questioned. Even less so if used in conjunction with a switching wallet, which allows you to hand out the cards at the end.

This is the perfect EDC. Takes up no room and packs a powerful punch. Well done to Paul Fowler and the 1914, you knocked this one out of the ballpark
