Now, THAT, if you don't mind me saying so, is interesting. I think it's what a lot of people expect when they buy other CTW effects.

why thankyou.

there are obviously some limitations and card handling/skill involved however - it isn't *real* magic.

and the angles aren't that bad either - can't be done surrounded, but you have a good 150 degrees to play with depending on what kind of clothes you are wearing, your card handling skill, lighting e.t.c

I dont understand.. signing the card, putting it against the window and pulling it out the other side surely sounds like Kaos? Unless you can just put one card against the window and pull it out instead of the whole deck.. but then again thats impossible. Unless thats what you are talking about. But it cant be because that really is impossible.. :shock:

one card...one window...one method...one great reaction...

yes my friend. no surgical nonsense...this is one signed card placed against the window, and taken from the other side. it can even be taken from the other side by the spectator.

you have 150 degree angle...give or take depending on your skill with cards and experience at public performances, and crowd control.

card signed...left clean...e.t.c

but as i said before...it isnt "real" magic...it obviously doesnt actually go "through" the window - there is a method...it isn't self working, but it isnt amazingly hard.

Love

haha - thankyou.

I call it "Evacuation" - kinda fitting i thought - imagine a fire and you jumping through a window ;)

.....

well...i thought it was funny... :oops:

...Although, coming from a medical background, 'Evacuation' has a slightly dodgy overtone :shock:

Mind you, you could certainly double entendre it:

"EVACUATION...the only effect you'll ever need, to make your audience s**t themselves" :lol:
