This is driving me absolutely cazy! There's this neat little trick that I've wanted to learn/do for days now and I have done hour's worth of searching through the web and all my videos and files and stuff and can-NOT find it~ It's the trick where a coin is wrapped in paper and then lit on fire, where it then finds it's matching card....
If anyone knows this trick or one that's in any way similar to it or knows the name, or where i can buy it or a link to the video of it or anything please please let me know! (i want to rest in peace tonight!)
Id like to know the directions just for some handling tips because it's pretty obvious for magicians to figure out how it's done... but for the MOST part, what im really interested in is where to buy the 'gimmick'. I consideered making it myself buuuut... umm yea, its must easier to just wait for the mailman
It goes something like this-
The spectator picks a card from the deck to memorize and then it's put back in the deck and shuffled. Next, you hand them a coin, a sharpie, and a piece of "tissue" paper (actually flash) and without looking, tell them write the number/suit of the card on the coin and then to fold it up in the tissue paper 'so it can't be seen/read by you', and then give it back to you. You hold your hand up flat and put the deck on it and then place the square of paper with the coin in it on to the center of the top card on the deck. Do a little bit of babbling or tell whatever story you wish to use for the trick.... Finally, you light it with a match/lighter and it bursts into a flame then afterwards, when all the smoke clears away, where the wrapped coin once was is now literally a hole burned straight through about half of the deck. You say "where did the coin go!?" and bring it lower and tilt it towards the spectator and when they look in the hole, the coin is sitting there at the bottom. You pick up all the top cards the have a hole burned in them until you get to the coin, which is sitting on top of the first unburnt card. You slide the coin into their hand and point out it's the same coin as before (it says the #/suit on it) and then you have them pick up the top card that it was laying on, and it's the card they picked at the beginning (and matches the coin that found it)...
Anyone?
