Content Includes:

Card in the Wallet – The fairest looking version of this timeless classic – ever! A signed card travels into the confines of the performer’s wallet, which is retrieved from the pocket with absolutely empty hands.

Laser Card – A high-tech card discovery! A laser pointer burns a hole in a selected card even though it’s in the middle of a cased pack.

Coin Through Sheer Silk – Simple and elegant. A large coin visibly penetrates the center of a sheer scarf.

Woo-Doo Card – A selected card is bent by a spectator and one at a time, its three mates in the deck are found bent as if in sympathy.

Trapdoor Card in Glass – A signed card, secured in a rubber-banded case, escapes in a most mysterious fashion.

Ring on the Rose – A borrowed finger ring is vanished in a flash of fire and reappears in another flash on the stem of a rose.

Bang Card – A card revelation is combined with a classic comedy gag to produce a solid piece of magical entertainment.

Ace on the Edge – The image of a selected card appears magically inscribed on the edges of a beveled deck.

Credit Card in the Wallet – A borrowed credit card, shredded to pieces, is found restored in a zippered compartment in the performer’s wallet.

Likes Attract – It begins as a silly experiment as a jumbo card is selected from a normal sized deck. Things get serious, however, as the jumbo card is freely inserted back into the deck and ends up next to its match.

Quickest Color-Changing Card – After a series of serious and not-so-serious shuffles, the indifferent face card changes into the spectator’s selection instantaneously.

Vanishing Banknote – A borrowed bill visibly disappears at the performer’s fingertips.

Vanishing Queen – A spectator selects a Queen and the performer causes it to vanish. The card is still there – just the Queen disappears and ends up in the performer’s pocket.
