In the world of magic, there are THOUSANDS of tricks and as many gimmicks, each one crazier than the next...
We're
proud to offer you a trick using, as far as we know, a TOTALLY NEW
gimmick! There's nothing like it on the market. That's why we're
particularly proud to offer to the magic community our latest creation -
TRAVEL!
Take out your cased deck. Remove the cards from
the case. Close the case and leave it on the table in full view. No one
touches it!
Show your spectators that the deck is completely
normal. You point out that the cards have faces and backs and all the
cards are different.
Offer one of your spectators a FREE CHOICE
of a card - he can change his mind if he likes. In short, there REALLY
is NO force - the choice is 100% free.
The card is placed face
up on top of the deck and the spectator signs its face. You then explain
that his card will travel from the top of the deck to inside the case!
Show
your hand empty and bring it over the card as if to make it vanish. But
your spectator is not an idiot; he easily notices that you have palmed
the card! In fact, the card juts out beyond your hand, fooling no one.
OK, OK!
You begin again, asking the spectator to watch closely
this time. The card is replaced face up on top of the deck. The case is
still on the table and your hand is empty. Everything OK so far?
As
before, you bring your empty hand slowly over the card. Your spectator
burns your hand with redoubled attention, but this time, the card does
not jut out. Your spectator wants to see your hand. You turn it over.
IMPOSSIBLE! The card isn't there. Gone without a trace! It's not on the
deck; it's not in your hand. How is this possible?????
Explain
that the card is now in the case! NO WAY, as the spectators will
remember that the case has been on the table since the beginning of the
trick!
Show the cards remaining in the deck. Not a trace of the chosen card!
Pick
up and shake the case. You can HEAR there's something inside! Your hand
is empty. You slowly open the case. You reach inside with your thumb
and index finger and take out... the FREELY CHOSEN and SIGNED SELECTED
CARD!
How is this POSSIBLE?
Pass out the deck for examination to prove there are no duplicates or other irregularities.
No need to remind you that the card is STILL SIGNED - PROOF of its invisible passage!
Remember these points:
