Costas at Magic Tao, had this little beauty on his dealers stand at the magic circle dealer stand 2 weeks ago, and iv'e been having loads of fun playing with it, trying to work out what uses it has.

The gimmick, will allow you to vanish a whole deck between your hands, right under the spectators noses.

no pulls, toppits or difficult slights used. you are seen to be holding a deck, then its gone. Save one card, which may be the spectators chosen card, or something totaly different.

Its THE perfect opening effect for table hoppers. imagine aproaching the table with a deck as you say..

" good evening ladies and gentlemen, i am your magician for the evening, and my name is...."

you then vanish the deck, and you are left holding a buseness card with your name writ large on its face.

or changing the deck into other things, or shoving a deck thru a table, excepy their chosen card.

This gimmick, like my prieviously reviewed item loki, has potentialy quite a few uses. the cards come in either red, or blue bike, but its not difficult to adapt the back if you so wish.

A dvd is currently in production with routines and ideas for the gaff, and i believe it will be selling for £16.00 from Magic Tao.

to answer the question i am sure some will have.. no. this is something that cant be done with a slight.


available soon.

First... the price. £15?!

Any obvious restrictions in terms of clothing perhaps? Always a factor for the walkaround performer

totaly self contained. you can do it naked.

this video shows an effect using the gimmick, but tons of other things may be possible.

OK, this isn't my style at all but I'm slightly in love with it and for £15 it'll definitely be worth a punt.

I get the general concept from the video, I'll PM you about it further Dale.

very much like Carbone's Humbug, but side on, rather than face on...if its the same method, i hope he credits...

I Gather Angelo has seen the gimmick, and has given it a thumbs up. its not the same

I bought something reminscent of this at Blackpool this year. It comprised a "card box" and a jumbo card and was sold as a device for turning a card box in to a mobile phone.

I can't remember the name or source. It played quite well in table hopping - until I left it at a table by mistake.

When I went back the cutomer and my device had gone!

Johnny Whizz - you're referring to a trick by Joker magic - I believe it is called Cell Out. A friend of mine told me a funny story about performing it in the kitchen of a restaurant and placing the jumbo card on a metal work surface at the end of the routine. This, as you will realise, is a bad idea

Costas showed me his gimmick down in Portsmouth the other weekend, and I hope to review it once they are properly in production...

That's the one, and no do not place on metallic surfaces, could be a bit of a giveaway!
