Magic Tricks

This is a great gimmick for a gag trick. It is well made and fascinating to play around with. I thought the presentation and tricks on the DVD were very lackluster and boring, the only bit I liked was when it was in the position with just half the 10 clubs showing and he says “so was it the 5 clubs?”. Here are a few pointers on how to get more mileage out of it.
• Bring in the theme of Origami. Pretend that you are a 5th dan, black bracers magical origarmi master.
• My gimmick card was the 10 clubs and Jack diamonds, so force the jack of clubs then near the end of the trick when it is clear that the two cards on the gimmick are not the chosen one fold it to show a card with half of the ten and the other half with the jack. Saying as a gag look I did find the jack of clubs!
• Force the jack of clubs and control it to the bottom. At the end of the routine when you cannot find the chosen card wrist kill the deck and place the gimmick face up (make sure it is in the position with a real bicycle back) on the bottom (on top of jack of clubs). Say something about in that case you will just have to fold the card onto the deck and then double lift both and place them face down on top of the deck. Slide off the top card (which is face down) and ask the spec to check out the card. Whilst he is busy doing this you can ditch the gimmick and end clean.
