Magic Tricks

Hi! This is your official PenguinMagic reviewer, B_Magic.

DON'T DO IT! LOL!

I don't like this effect too much, but let me explain to you why. First of all, it's a much too gimmicky effect. What I mean is that the trick, making a card rise out of a deck with only the use of your mind, your magic powers, whatever, is a STRONG effect on your audiences. If this were truly possible, it would freak people out. What's bad about STRONG illusions like this is that the gimmick is the first thing people look out for. The very first thing anyone who sees this effect is going to think is, "Well it must be in the cards." And as soon as that deck of cards isn't able to be inspected, GAME OVER. Without the use of a good deck switch, this trick is completely NON-EXAMINABLE. For a strong illusion such as this, that is disastrous.

The other reason why I don't like it is that with use of Kundalini Rising or similar effects sold, the same effect is accomplished in a much better way. The deck can be borrowed, for example, and you can end completely clean and the deck completely examinable. And with Kundalini Rising, the effect is pretty simple to do. If you get all these benefits from that, why would you ever invest a gimmicky, not-clean Rising Card deck?

I personally recommend against this. You will be a much better, and more popular magician using Kundalini Rising or the other variations of Rising Card.
