Matchbox, JB magic

Postby Mark Waddington » Aug 10th, '04, 14:47



Title, Matchbox

Inventor, Dave Forrest & Mark Mason

Supplier, exclusivly JB magic

Price, £10

Difficulty, 2/5

Trick description
Any card is freely selected, signed and returned to your deck. A picture of a matchbox is drawn on the bottom card of the deck. the box is given a shake, the picture animates and the matchbox magically opens. But that is not all, folded up in the picture in the matchbox tray, is a playing card. Reach into the picture and visually remove the folded card leaving the tray EMPTY. This looks fantastic. The card is unfolded, it REALLY is their signed card.

Review,
A great effect. If you've been looking for something to use the mercury card fold with, then this is the effect. The performance is great, and it is so visual, i LOVE it!
The gimmick is well made and comes in either blue or red bicycle stock with clear and concise instructions.

Overall,
Great effect, neat gimmick, stunning effect, highly reccomended and is reasonably priced.

Rating
9/10
