Magic Tricks

Ok. This fooled the crap out of me. Then I saw the solution. Now I’m just plain angry at myself. LOL

What a great trick! You really do throw a card into the deck and you really do land that card right beside the selected card. 100% of the time. What’s more, with the exception of the extreme beginner, there pretty is nothing to really learn. You have to know how the gimmick and, no, the trick doesn’t come with it. But chances are, if you’ve done magic more than a month, you have this gimmick already. It might even be one you don’t use anymore. (It was my first real gimmick) If you don’t, the gimmick is cheap and very common. It’ll be easy to find this whereever there’s isn’t magic sold. (Um. Like Penguin duh) If you’re new, then you’ll need to buy it. But you’ll want to anyway. So don’t let that stop you from purchasing this trick.

The solution is crazy stupid simple. Wear a helmet when you watch the explanation, because, like me, you will experience a slight concussion as you bang your head against the wall when you wonder how the solution escaped your creative genius too. This is seriously like one of the easiest tricks you’ll ever perform. Bu that doesn’t mean it is a low quality trick. By no means. This will wow your spectators. Think of it as you’re investing in a penny stock but that penny stock grows into Amazon. That’s the return you’ll get for this tiny effort.

Is this a trick or a stunt? It smells more like an act of extreme skill to me... however, finding the exact card? every time? This is a magical stunt.

Don’t worry. You don’t have to know how to throw cards (though it would be an impressive skill to learn. This would be a perfect closer if you did have a card throwing act). Trust me. Easy peasy.

This trick is well worth every penny. The fact that it’s so simple is a plus. (Sometimes people feel cheated when they pay for a solution that isn’t super simple. I say all the more reason to pay more for it if it’s something that can be done with less effort and skill)

I’m giving this 4 stars out of 5. 5 I reserve for mind melting visual magical magic. So in my book, this trick is getting top scores for the type of trick it is. To be honest though, tricks like this make me think I should rethink my 5 star visual magic only policy. We’ll see. For now, just see this trick as a MUST BUY rating from me.

I do wish he showed the boomerang card in detail. That’s woukd have really completed this. But great trick. Simply great.

Here are some Q and A...

Easy? Yes
Gimmick? Included? Gimmick yes. Not included. But most magicians have this or at least should have at one point or another.
Arts and crafts? No. (Unless you want to make your own gimmick. But unnecessary)
Sleights? No. You just need to know how to use the gimmick. Easy.
Borrowed deck? No.
Examineable deck? No. But if you present this right, the spectators should have no reason to want to inspect it. You can always use a deck switch if you need to.
Just like the demo? Yup. Exactly.
Any prep? Nope.
Angles? Nope. The only time you might be a little careful is when you are shuffling and flashing the deck to show that it is indeed a deck of unique cards and not something tricky. Even that, it’s nit really a worry.
Repertoire worthy? Yup.
Teaching quality? A+ to Pierric as usual.
Practice? Always. Even though this is simple, you still want to be familiar with the handling as well as your own presentation. Practicing is NOT necessary to do this trick. But if you pride yourself in your craft, no one can tell you to not practice.
Get it? Heck yes.
