Is this £10 everywhere now?
If it's cheaper somewhere please do tell.

You can get it much cheaper than £10. I am sure I have seen it for as little as £4.99

Also I am sure there is a deluxe version made of wood. I did have a quick search but couldn't find it. I suspect it is by Mikame, chazpro or viking - but I could be wrong.

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

I love this trick I got it last month. And fooled the other magician that came with me to the shop. I love this trick my sister was amazed, she screamed. :lol:

I got this too, one black version and one multicoloured version. For the black version, the card case fits in snug, and so it can't fall out. In the multicoloured version the case will slip out if I tilt it upside down. Now, when it is in its 'vanished state' does it look like this from the end to any of you guys:

[edited by mods]

Because that is how mine looks and kinda gives it away if I hand it out for someone to look at..

The only good thing I can think of for the multicoloured one being lose would be to put it in my backpocket and let the case slip out, and then if they ask to see it say sure and give them just the box.

This is one of the first magic trick i bought. There are many versions out there at difference price. But i bought the cheapest one made from cardbox. Off course when i first received it I thought it's cheap quality, but I got to aggree the effect is great.

You'll find many versions sold at different price and wonder what's the difference. It just that some of them are probably better crafted, made from better material or maybe plastic, and probably have additional mechanism to make it examinable...

When this hit the market hard, I'd have to say well over 10 yrs ago, but I'm horrible with judging time, it came out in a wooden box was very expensive and I could not keep them in stock. The ones you guys are talking about now came out probably a year later and it was far less expensive to buy many of these rather then one wooden one. I am pretty sure that is why the 'deluxe' ones fell by the wayside.

I'm gonna add a review for so not everyone thinks this trick is amazing as it sounds. I don't think it is.

When you buy it you will be VERY disappointed, and I think it absolutely stinks of a prop trick/gimmick trick

I have to say - for the price it is ok I guess, but not a good trick really.

Sorry guys

What I like to do to draw attention away from the case is to have a deck with the same card turned over in my shirt pocket. After the case disappears,a simple gesture to my pocket makes anyone forget about the case. I'm working on doing it with a signed card but my slight of H sucks. Just my two bits worth :)

I'm pretty sure I paid about £20 for this, many years ago. At one point, I had two which was very handy for handing the case out afterwards.

Hey there guys, sorry to bring up old posts, I didn't want to start a new thread on this as there is one already !

Does the Card Case come with red backed bicycles or blue backed ?

Ive got a blue backed ID, and wanted to use it as part of the trick, obiously switching decks etc.

Although from what I can see you only get the red pack, with the trick ??

Any one know where I would find a blue backed gimmick ?

Thanks alot,

Glen

I've only even seen red but what they cost why don't you just buy a red ID?
