I can't even believe this was possible this entire time. An impromptu rising card, now made even cooler because it's over zoom! I'm totally SHOOK.

The only thing you need to know is that you can't do it on more than one person at once. So you can do it as part of a Zoom show, but only if you're OK (as a matter of your own performance style etc.) with having a trick that happens only to one person, and with having to convince everybody else that this one person was not "in on it" with you.

For me personally, I am not going to do this for multi-participant audiences, but I most definitely will be doing this ALL THE TIME one on one. It is just SO good.

Also, here's a fun fact: in the preview video, you know the one person who totally flips out at how good the trick is? Yeah, well that person saw the alternative "out" because something went wrong during her performance. If you do everything right, you have the power to prevent anything from ever going wrong -- but you will learn an out to use JUST IN CASE, and that out is so strong that the reaction will be just as good as the trick itself.

My only critique is that there's no plot or cause and effect element, but that's something that rarely comes with tricks anyway and I prefer to create my own anyway. One idea I have is to talk about dreams and how they can seem so real, and sometimes are influenced by things I've seen during the day. Then I'll show them a bunch of cards and ask them to remember one of them, then simulate falling asleep by closing their eyes. Then their dream will become reality. Or something like that.

Anyway... Five stars all the way, and that's somewhat of a rarity for me! The perfect trick. Buy it right now. Ready go.
