Maxello Magic

Three cards are shown: two black tens, and a jack of spades. The spectator is asked to "find the picture card," but that's not possible, for now the performer holds three black tens- the jack is found inside the magician's pocket!

The game is repeated with the four-card set. Again, the spectator is unable to find the jack, for the packet now consists of four tens; the jack is again inside the magician's pocket!

The performer suggests that a five card game is too difficult, so one card is set aside. The remaining cards are mixed. The spectator is asked to locate the jack, and of course, suspects that the card that was put aside is the face card. In fact, that card turns out to be a ten. The performer finally comments, "Perhaps Monte is not your game..." He turns the cards over to display a Royal Straight Flush in spades! "You should try Poker, instead!"

Effect includes all cards needed and complete, illustrated instructions.

You show a Foulard held at the corners, and stretched flat between your hands. The Foulard is shown clearly on both sides. You whip it, and the Foulard changes into an entirely different color, and is again shown on both sides. This is repeated again, and again, so that the same Foulard has been displayed on both sides in four different colors. And if you wish you could reverse the process, and have it go through another series of color changes, as often as you wish.

We supply the special mechanical foulard that makes the effect possible. If you use a pinch of confetti with each change, this will fly out when you whisk the Foulard, making for a nice visual effect. If the confetti is of the same color as the color of the Foulard being transformed, it will create an impression as if you are whipping away the colors.

You could perform this as a running Gag between tricks. After each effect, you announce "and now for my next effect, the famous color changing bandana...". You change just one color, leaving the Foulard on clear view, so that there is no suspicion of an exchange. The fact that the Foulard changes to a different color every time you repeat this will enhance the mystery, as you repeat it.

We supply the special satin foulard, ready to work, with full instructions.

The performer hands a spectator a deck of cards and instructs him to make sure all the cards are different, and to then shuffle the deck in any manner he desires. At that point a rubber band is placed around the deck and the deck is sent out into the audience where three different spectators each peek at a card and commit it to memory. THERE IS NO DECK SWITCH.

Upon return of the deck – which is not inspected in any way – the performer correctly divines the three thought-of selections in the manner of the classic Tossed-Out Deck.

"A very fine method and presentation... I would recommend it unhesitatingly." - Herb Zarrow

"First a word of advice. Trust me when I suggest that all well seasoned 'workers' toss out your Tossed-Out-Decks! That's right: get rid of them!

Once you experience David's In Flight, you will be in command of the most bewildering and diabolical feat of pure mentalism one could imagine. I can personally attest to the stunning impact this effect had on the very knowledgeable attendees at the 2004 4F convention.

Included with the ingenious deck and professional script, David has been granted permission to share a 'wonderful subtlety' of Wayne Dobson's. On a personal note: in the early days I became friends with the legendary David Hoy and witnessed his signature performance of this effect on many occasions. If possible, Mr. Hoy would be the first to give In Flight a standing ovation." - Roger Klause

Comes complete with a specially manufactured deck of cards, rubber bands, a 10-page booklet detailing David’s complete routine, and, with permission, a special tip from Wayne Dobson that will turn the revelations into a sure fire applause cue!

A deck of cards is shuffled by a member of the audience. You then riffle through the deck and let the spectator say "stop" anywhere they like. They take a look at the card they stopped at and replace it in the deck. You then bring out the "lethal teeth" stating they will find the selected card.

The cards are dropped from the left hand onto the table and with the right hand you reach in with the teeth and attempt to catch the selected card as it drops by, but to no avail. Once it`s obvious that the teeth have failed to catch the card, the deck is given back to the spectator with the request that they find their own card the hard way. When the spectator finds their card in the deck, everyone is surprised to see that the lethal teeth have bitten off the corner of the card! When the teeth are opened the matching corner of the selected card is found!
