Have any card freely selected, signed and returned into the deck. The magician then removes any card from the deck. A GENUINE hole is punched through the incorrect card. Next a tag is passed through the hole and tied so the card is fastened to the tag!The spectator takes hold of the tag as the card is returned to the deck. The spectator never lets go of the tag. The deck is spread and the spectator pulls the tag from the deck. The card to the tag is now their SIGNED CARD! This can be given away as a souvenir, the tag is permanently fastened to their card.
A FULL STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONAL DVD.
The DVD has Mark's performance, explanation and a bonus section of ideas and handling tips.
A spectator freely selects a card from a shuffled pack. As the magician opens his jacket to retrieve a pen for the spectator to sign the card, the audience notices the security tag is still inside his jacket! "I got this jacket for a real steal." The spectator's signed card is replaced and the deck is shuffled. With a snap of the fingers, the magician states that the selection has now vanished from the pack! The audience quickly scans through the deck and can't find their selection. The magician shows empty hands and again opens his jacket, showing the spectator's signed card is now impaled by the security tag! The card is removed with a rip and handed back to the spectator.
Comes with the special gimmick and photo-illustrated instructions.
"Shawn is the Winona Rider of magic, except all he's really stealing is our laughter. This is a really great site gag that turns into a blockbuster effect. It's easy and practical with a real payoff for very little work. It will not only fool you, it will fool your audiences." -Bob Kohler"
It's hard for me to find something to compete with my signed Card To Wallet, but Sean Farquhar's "Tagged" really fits the bill--I bought two!" -Seth Kramer
A spectator freely cuts and hides a random number of cards from a shuffled deck. Even though no one - including the spectator - knows how many cards have been removed, the magician proves, without a doubt, that the Joker knew the EXACT number in advance!
Telepathic Joker comes complete with a specially printed poker size red Bicycle Rider backed card (printed by the U.S. Playing Card Company) and detailed written instructions by Daryl - The Magician's Magician.
The routine's first phase sent the Three visibly from Gordon's right hand to his left hand, and Mr. Simko smiled. He had seen a lot of amazing sleight-of-hand and assumed this was more of the same. Next, the Ace jumped the other way, and Mr. Simko leaned forward. Finally, the Two jumped down to his own hand and Mr. Simko knew the only possible explanation. You're using some of those special cards we printed for you. Gordon smiled and motioned for him to pick up the cards. Mr. Simko examined them with an expert's precision. But they are ordinary Bicycles, said Mr. Simko. The finest cards made, agreed Gordon with a smile. I wouldn't use anything else.
Temptation is the perfect walk-around version of Three-Card Monte. Since all the cards are examinable at the end, it is a practical as well as a mind-blowing effect. - Whit Haydn
Two jokers are placed in the spectator's hand and two jokers are kept in the magician's hand. The magician touches his jokers to the spectator's and claims that they have changed places. "Okay, you are probably wondering why this trick was rated a ten?" The spectator and the magician turn their cards over at the same time revealing that all the cards have changed into four tens!
What People Are Saying: "Ten is so clean, it's like washing your hands with anti-bacterial gel." - David Acer
The top card of each packet is then turned over (remember the deck was shuffled by a spectator at the beginning), and assuming that the spectator chose Spades as the suit, the first card is the Ace of Spades. The card on top of the second packet is the Two of Spades, on top of the third packet is the Three of Spades and so on all the way through the rest of the packets!
The Ace through Ten of Spades are then set aside and the deck is reassembled. The Jack of Spades is then found on top of the deck and the Queen and King of Spades are found on the bottom!
The deck is then cut again, this time into three piles which are shown to each contain the thirteen cards of the remaining suits, in numerical order!
Comes complete with the necessary deck of Bicycle cards and detailed instructions.
Four 10's are removed from the deck and placed in a row of four separate piles. Place three different cards on top of each 10 card. There are really 4 cards in each pile. Pick up Pile 1 and show the 10 of Hearts and three odd cards.
NOW for the 4 Steps to IMPOSSIBLE Magic:
Play a little Texas Hold'em poker and you're bound to hear the phrase, "All you need is a chip and a chair." It's usually offered as encouragement to a player who just lost most of his bankroll, reminding him that he still has a small chance to win.
Few know the legend behind those words... Back in 1982, the World Series of Poker bracelet winner Jack "Treetop" Strauss was competing in a major Texas Hold'em event at a Las Vegas Casino. While still in the early rounds, a lucky player hit his draw and Strauss got busted out. As Jack was headed for the bar to drown his disappointment, the dealer at the table noticed a single chip where Strauss had been seated, tucked almost unseen beneath the cushion around the playing surface. Called back to the table to play that lonely chip, Treetop won the pot on the next hand and went on to finish the tournament in first place.
A great background story, especially when it's true, makes good magic even better. Texas Fool'em is a presentation that allows you to re-create the historic moment behind that poker wisdom, in a manner that will amaze and delight your audience.
Following a brief demonstration of Texas Hold'em poker's unique play,Texas Fool'em is much more than a card trick - it's a complete short routine, complete with authentic deck, chips, and 'VIP cards' that are sufficiently compact to carry in your shirt pocket, awaiting just the right moment to make a timely and memorable impression.
You get everything you need for an enthralling presentation that folks will talk about for years to come:
A standard riffle shuffle is the only skill required.
Everything may be completely examined and the button pinned to the magician is in full view the entire time!
Comes with reusable gimmicked button and detailed instructions.
The magician first shows four aces to the audience. One at a time, the face up aces flip over in the magicians hands! Then, they flip back over. But this time, the backs of the cards have changed from standard Bicycle Blue to green, black, yellow and red!
For a stunning finale, the four cards are then all shown to be kings! Some sleight of hand is required to perform this trick. But with these specially printed cards, you'll have the move down in no time.
The performer pretends to shuffle the deck invisibly: he pretends to take the deck (in fact the deck stays on the table and he acts as if he had the deck in his hands), put it on the table in front of him, cut it in half, turn one pile face-up and shuffle both parts with a riffle shuffle, square the deck, take it and put it back where the real deck was.
The deck is spread on the table, and all the cards are mixed, half face-up and half face-down, as if these fictitious actions became real.
The deck is put aside. The performer separates the cards in the same way with an invisible deck in his hands and then puts it back. The real cards are spread, and all the cards are face-up again. He squares the deck and puts it face down. He then spread the cards, showing that only the card backs are visible.
The cards are squared and taken with the right hand. The face card is the Queen of Hearts. The performer does a magic move and spreads the cards again, showing that they are now all the Queen of Hearts!
Squaring the deck again, the performer does another magic move and spreads the deck to show only ordinary cards. He then spreads the other side to show only the backs of the cards!
The performer puts the deck back in it case and closes it. As he puts it away, he changes his mind and hits the short side of the case, showing that the image on the front of the case has become compressed.
Comes complete with gaffed card deck and detailed instructions on how to perform this trick.
