Hi Tom,

I have found this

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~roy/magictalk-w ... lunch.html

Hope it helps

I have also found a version of the effect for sale on eBay Canada

This may give you a better idea of what you can do with the principle.
You can adapt the cards to suit whatever you want to do

If I remember rightly the principle was used in a "Abracadoobries" effect to make the Statue of Liberty disappear.

If you still seem stuck PM me and I will help all I can.

tom this is based on the old geniie card system, in my version a pedastal holds a crystal ball.
the spec signes the bottom half of the card, the cards are turned over and the card slid out and tabled.

two dice are rolled and the top numbers added, the dice are turned over and the bottom numbers are added to the total.
when the signed card is turned over there is the number 14 printed inside the crystal ball.

It's on 22 blows to the head. Can't really give the effect as it depends how you use the principal, but essentially it allows a spec to sign a card with for example a drawing or a word on the signed card and then you are able to make the drawing/word disappear. Or as above something can appear.

I've even seen the principle used within a Marvins boxed set. There is also a purpose built wallet made to help with this effect.

Hope that helps.

Tom - have PM'd you!
