Magic Tricks

Hi! This is your official PenguinMagic reviewer, B_Magic.

This is a great effect! It's something that is not only an amazing feat of magic, but its fun and entertaining as well, ESPECIALLY if you dress it right and really play it up to its best potential (which is true for just about any effect).

I give it 4 stars because of a couple things. One, sticking a card to the ceiling isn't necessarily the most "magical" someone can do, and so this trick does really rely on your ability to sell the effect to make it a killer effect. I think, performed poorly, most people may not know exactly how you got their card out of the deck, but will assume you put something on their card and stuck it up on the ceiling. The verdict: a non-entertained or amazed audience.

The other thing is that you have to watch where you do this effect. You can't just perform this anywhere, which can be a pain for someone who performs regularly or for a living. In fact, I've been asked years ago at one of my restaurants to stop performing this effect because it broke fire code.

Definitely a trick worth having in the arsenal though. I would recommend this one.
