Magic Tricks

I really love performing this trick and it went over fantastically.

PROS:
1. The unique Jokers the trick comes with from old casinos really get the audience's attention because they've likely never seen these designs before. Same goes for the cardbacks from the different casinos.

2. It's easy. Phase one an elementary student can do & still dazzles. Phase two takes a beginner's amount of slight of hand (and it's taught different ways, so that you can do even less). Hands of all sizes and ages can handle this - it's just a basic count - but please note - it's not a major shuffle, it's a really easy little bit of misdirection.

3. The end of phase two really impresses the audience because they've been with the cards for a while, feel they know them and when they see you present brand new cards they've never even thus far, they're blown away. Also the fact they can immediately reach out and examine the cards without you even touching them also makes for a perfect ending.

CONS:
1. Nothing horrible here, but the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that you can see in the trailer that the audience has chosen a poker chip from a bowl (?) of other old casino poker chips and that then matches the card they wave their hand over. Well, the trick only comes with two old chips from the same casino and you would need to then go out and find/buy your own old casino chips. It seems like you can find five or 10 on ebay for about $20 all said and done. It's not so much the cost that's annoying, but really that even if you do that they don't seem to teach you how to force your chip to the audience if they're selecting from a bowl. I plan to experiment and invent - but it would have been nice to explain that part.

FINAL THOUGHTS: It doesn't matter they only give you two chips, it just means you say it's a magic chip and that wherever the audience member who holds it points, the cards will follow. There's great room for patter regarding what happens when you play poker with jokers as well that you can invent. It's a perfect trick for a poker night - it's fun to do & if it ever comes back in stock here I suggest you to buy it or search it out elsewhere.
