I have searched for this great trick and couldn't find a review so thought I should do one:

Picture This
http://cat.themagicclub.com/cgi-bin/bb000001.pl
Price £10.00
Effect: A spectator picks a card from a deck, they are told to remember it and they return it to the deck. The magician now shows a pack of identical photos which are held together by an elastic band. You show the front photo and you show the spectator that there is a young boy who is dressed up as a magician. He has a rabbit, a top hat too big for him etc, loads of patter can be used here. You point out that he has a deck of cards fanned out in his hand. The specator signs this photo. You now take the photo out and place it face down on the table. You ask the spectator what the card was and they name it. You now blow on the photo, or flick it, spin it, whatever; and you show them it. The boy is now only holding one card, the card the spectator chose. This photo has the spectator's signature on it.

The photo can be examined and the spectator can keep it. The cards can also be examined but the wad of photos cannot be examined.

Rating 9/10 - a great trick which can be performed duplicate times with different cards.

Does the link work for anyone else?

No, link broken...

This is one of the best tricks I've got.

Having selected a card I then proceed to show them that the little boy is holding their card in his hand. They take such pleasure in telling me I'm wrong (Oh, how I love the sucker tricks) and so, after getting them to sign the card I take it from the top of the pile and after a bit of persuasion (i.e. giving the cards a good bashing so that he drops the others and gets the right card in place) I give them the card, which now shows the boy holding the correct card - bears their signature - great trick, cheap, effective, no real set-up required and skill levels for force minimal (must be - I can do it ).

This is a must from JB magic in Blackpool,

Should have added that at £5 for a refill set, this is a trick that can sit in your pocket (along with TT, brainwave deck (in case of fire!) and a couple of elastic bands and get you home intact every time).

The patter potential is endless.

The fact that you can do the sucker routine is priceless, and

the attraction is timeless - people love cards, they love being made to think and enjoy being suprised even more.

Thanks to Barry Birchall for showing me this one - a great addition to any show or routine.

this is based on the gennie / swammie gimmick and is well worth the investment i had a similar thing on my bussiness cards for a lomg wile till i whent plastic even then i had special run done so i say get it.

This sounds like an interesting trick but none of the liks appear to be working.

I found that.

If you'd like a copy of the video that the link should take you to, PM me and I'll send it to you,

Vic

Can't you just post the link up here?

Hi Toad,

I would but as the link doesn't work I was offering to send a copy of the video that it should show to the person as I was kindly sent one when I moaned about not being able to access it.

Sorry for any confusion regarding this, not seeking to be the 'middle man' in this but as I have a copy thought it would be helpful,

Vic

Hope this works: http://cat.themagicclub.com/acatalog/frameset.html

I posted somewhere that I thought this was a Dan Harlan trick, I have just realised that this is a Richard Sanders trick and thought that I'd like to put the record straight.

Sorry for the bum information.

Thanks,
