Name: Puzzling Queen
Price: £6.99
Type: Close Up Version Of Stage Effect
Examination Time: 30 mins
Reset: Instantly
Examinable: The Playing Card Is But Not The Apparatus.
Skill Level: Novice
Aditional Material: None, this item comes complete.

Effect: You insert a playing card into a frame and stick a hollow tube through the card. When your spectator peeks through the tube, there is nothing but emptiness where the card should be!
You can prove there is nothing there, by pushing a pencil straight through the tube. When you remove the tube , the hole in the card vanishes instantly! From the frame you can remove the card and let it be examined.
Just like the stage magician who puts his assistant in a box and makes her torso vanish, now you can perform a stage illusion right in front of your spectators eyes. Your beautiful assistant in this illusion will be the queen of hearts.

Personal Comments: Upon receiving this effect I was initially a little sceptical when I saw the secret but I am glad I worked with it because I have used this in a lot of small close up groups and it blows them away. With the effect you have to watch your angles but it is well worth a little bit of time spent working on this to perfect what will turn out to be a very visual trick.
What makes it even better is that you can hand the card out afterwards and let it take all the heat as you casually put the gimmicked frame away.

Overall Judgement: Another superb effort from Tenyo and at such a small price, I have bought card tricks three times as expensive as this and they aren't as visual.
