I am not much of a card guy, but it is usually expected to be able to perform a few great card
effects. This is effect is straightforward and stunning. The handling of the cards will require
practice and confidence, but there is nothing hard or complicated about it. It is well thought out
and well taught from the video. It is easy to make and will not take a long time or require anything
special to have to purchase. The pay-off is astonishing.
I recommend a time delay after
the cards are put back in the case. Leave them in plain view and do some some other effect (I do a
color changing knife routine with a regular knife changing into a larger knife climax) I use the
larger knife to stab the deck and produce the signed card. Closer.
Downside - you destroy a
card box (and the signed card) each time you perform, so you may want to shop around to find some
quantities of card boxes. Make up a red deck and a blue deck to give you more options.
You
need a fairly sharp knife. Use what fits your style. I prefer a folding pocket knife that matches my
color changing knife set.
This may not play for a kids show, but for closing a stand-up
routine it is very visual and can play funny or dramatic.
One of the best purchases I've
made all year.
