NAME: Armando Vera’s Cell-O-Phane
PRICE: $18
TYPE: Close-up
DIFFICULTY: 2/5
ANGLES: surrounded
PERFORMANCE TIME: 1-2 minutes
EXAMINABLE: Sort of
RESET: a few seconds in private
WHAT YOU GET: A deck of cards, a permanent marker, a dry erase marker, the gimmick, and instructions.

EFFECT: You take out a deck of cards and write a prediction on the front of the box with a marker (provided) on the cellophane - and show it very clearly. Turn the case over and have a spectator sign the other side of the cellophane. Now take the cards and have the spectator choose one. They turn it over . . . OOPS! It's not the card you selected. No problem, make some magical gesture and snap your fingers over the case but don't touch it - HAVE THE SPECTATOR TURN IT OVER. THE CARD YOUR WROTE DOWN JUST SECONDS AGO IS NOW THE SPECTATOR'S SELECTION! The card box & cellophane are completely examinable!

COMMENTS: This is a really good trick, different from most card tricks out there in that the box is the main part of the trick. The card box is immediately examinable, but there is one card in the deck that cannot be examined. [edited by mods] Overall it’s a great trick and is guaranteed to fool everyone who sees it. It is a little expensive but if you can get a good deal on one (like I did) then I recommend getting it.

RATING: 9/10
