My first magic trick on You Tube:

Card through paper


How does it look?

It's really not very magic. There is no sense of wonder, no sense of every boundary you know being broken. It is very very un magical if I'm honest.

i like it. it was good. thanks for the post

Would work better with a borrowed note, because from the spectator's point of view why would you be carrying around a piece of plain paper unless it was specially "made" for that trick?

Well the paper is not specially made for that trick...It is just paper...I just did the trick with it because I was home !

It looks rather like a piece of paper with a slit in it.

Do you have any supporting narrative?

Well, fortunately the paper is intact!

It's a nice gimmick and would work great on a borrowed note. try and get some footage with spectators as it makes the effect so much better to watch and perform.

Oh and can i suggest folding the paper so there is a lip, this will allow the audience to see that the card is inbetween the folds and not behind.

Good luck buddy

Well there is a lip...maybe you can't see it because of you tube!

Thanks!

as others have said, use a bank note. Borrowed if possible, and create the gaff with an angle across the bottom, rtaher than straight across.

this effect by the way, was something supreme magic put out many years ago.

was it Roy Baker?

i bet Allen T will be able to correct this.
