The cards are totally normal and you're ready to perform your favorite trick!
The magician displays a poor poker hand, one a cheater might try to pawn off as a flush. Describing the methods of a professional card shark, and with zero moves, the poker hand turns into Four-of-a-Kind with Aces! Continuing the explanation of cheaters? secret moves, the hand becomes a Royal Flush in Spades!
Get this? only five cards are used...and they are tabled at the conclusion of the effect, displaying both faces and backs!
Comes complete with photo-illustrated instructions and a very special set of blue-back, poker-size Bicycle cards printed by the U.S. Playing Card Co. just for this routine.
Remember these points: there is nothing added or taken away. The trick is entirely self-contained. There are no funny moves, no sleights, and nothing is attached to the floating card. The card can be show from both sides before and after it floats off of your hand.
The magician takes out two cards out of a red deck of cards as prediction. Then he introduces a blue deck of cards and shuffles it to show the deck is well mixed.
The deck is given to a spectator and he/she shuffles the deck. He/she stops shuffling at any time and places the top card onto the table. Then the first spectator hands the deck to another spectator. The second spectator does the same thing as the first spectator did.
The red prediction cards match the freely selected blue cards.
The magician does not touch the decks after he produces them. Everything is done in spectators hands. There is no complicated moves. They only have to shuffle the deck and place a card onto the table. Memorized deck system is not necessary. Performer can do this effect in a very casual manner. Prediction cards are not switched. You can prepare a prediction in your favorite way. You should always carry the GION Deck with you.
DVD includes how the trick works, how to perform and how to show it more effectively.
No difficult sleights are needed. You can perform this trick in a surrounded situation. The deck is not treated with rough and smooth chemicals. You can spread the deck in a natural manner.
BonusThe sleight used in Try-Out type-R is becoming a hot topic in underground magic world. You can't miss it. This performance movie has never been released before. Other two tricks are also attractive.
You are supplied with a solid block of clear plastic to be used with poker size cards.
The magician presents a blue deck of cards. The backs and fronts of the cards reveal it is a 52 card regular deck. The deck is placed face up on the table. This is the last time the magician will touch the deck. The spectator is asked to cut the deck around the mid point, and place the cut-off pile alongside the other pile. They then select one of the two piles, and the other pile is placed to one side. The magician asks the spectator to deal the cards face-up from the face-up pile, and stop at ANY card they wish. Which they do. A genuinely free choice. The selection is placed away from the rest of the deck, and the magician now takes the remaining cards and specifies that truly, the spectator had a free choice, and the card they chose isn't a duplicate of any of the other blue backed cards. However, upon turning over the selection the spectator is GOBSMACKED to see that not only is the card a red backed one, it also has their name written across it's back (or any message you whant). They suddenly feel that perhaps their free will isn't as free as they'd thought.
You will receive all necessary cards to get you started and enter the Gobsdmacked World, a full-colour instructional leaflet containing everything you need to perform Gobsmacked and a Multi-Regional DVD expalining the full working of Gobsmacked with many more suggestions on using Gobsmacked in Various scenarios from Birthday parties to coorporate functions.
Be sure to check out the accompanying DVD for more ideas, handlings and much more!

Includes instructional DVD - featuring live and studio performances by Daryl -The Magician's Magician.
Is it possible to instantly induce perceptual distortions in spectators?
Hallucinations takes the work of mentalist Theo Annemann (1934) and combines It with research of critically acclaimed psychologists Clark Hull (1936). E. Hllgard (1965.1975). and JR. Kihlstrom (1985). A concept straight from the Journal of Experimental Psychology (1931.1985) we bring you an effect that can be performed anywhere, anytime, with nothing more than a pack of cards.
No special sleights, the deck remains in full view. Card is a free choice. Five spectators see five different things. The cards they think they saw turn out to not even be in the deck, but have been in an envelope in plain view the whole time. Deck is tossed out for examination.
A performer pulls out a deck of cards and a sealed envelope from his pocket saying, I'd like to share with you something very interesting.
The envelope is placed on the table in plain view and the deck is shuffled. I'll not be using any sleight of hand or trickery, so please freely chose any card you like from the deck. He says.
The first spectator takes a card and looks at it.
Please commit that card to memory Sir, but don't share it with anyone else. And now place it on top of the deck, where it will remain throughout this little exercise. He tells the person.
The deck is now held by the performer between his thumb and forefingers without any suspicious movements and in plain view of all concerned.
Looking at the spectators casually he says, Have any of you ever been hypnotized before, or do you think you could be? A number nod their heads and say yes.
You may not know this, but studies have shown that hypnotizability is unrelated to personality characteristics such as gullibility, hysteria, psychopathology, trust, aggressiveness, submissiveness or even imagination, which means just about anyone can be hypnotized given the right set of circumstances The performer shares with the group.
Continuing, he says And many scientists have used hypnosis to temporarily create hallucinations, compulsions, certain types of memory loss, false memories, and delusions in the laboratory so that these phenomena can be studied in a controlled environment. I'd like to see how it works out here in real life.
Looking at the remaining four people he says, Here's what I want to do. I'd like each of you now, one at a time, to peek the top card that he has chosen from the deck. Look at it. Remember it. But don't say it aloud. Can you do that? They all say yes.
He then walks up to the second person and instructs them to cup their hands around the card to protect it from being seen by the others, and says, Go ahead and quickly peek the top card he chose; remember it but don't let anyone else see what you see. This is done. He then continues to do that until a total of four people have seen the top card originally chosen.
Still keeping the deck in plain view, and without any suspicious movements, he says, "Each of you have all looked at the top card; have you all committed the card to memory?" When they respond they have he continues with, Now please-one at a time-focus on the card in your mind and starting with the first person, tell us what it was. He points at the first person and hears, Six of Spades.
Right way confusion comes across the face of the remaining four people. Then he points to the next person who reveal the two of hearts, and the next person who reveals the eight of diamonds, then the ace of clubs, and finally the four of spades; every card named is different!
The performer then very casually flips the top card over to reveal an indifferent card-the joker-and drops it on the table. Immediately he hands the deck out for inspection and instructs the person holding it to find all of the cards mentioned. The cards are all gone-they aren't in the deck.
He looks that envelope and tells one of the spectators to pick it up and open it saying, That envelope was sealed in advance and has been lying there in front of all of you the whole time. What's in it?
Inside are all of the cards.
It would appear... he says, you can induce hallucinations in the real world.
I normally don't do effects that require I use cards; this is a RARE exception to that rule. - Morgan Strebler
Comes complete with detailed 12 page instruction booklet, evnvelope and gimmick card on Bicycle stock.
Do this as many times as you like - because of a hidden secret built into the Bicycle cards, they'll never suspect anything!
Now for the finale - turn over all three cards in your hand and they're now all eights! They didn't see that coming! It's a slam-bam ending that your spectators will never forget.
There's no technique here folks, just do the fastest fan you can (the one where the cards just squirt out from your fingers) and the magic happens! Comes with cards and instructional DVD.
Performer places the deck on his outstretched palm and mysteriously the top half of the deck moves forward and then back to its original position of leaving a card protruding. The card is removed and shown to be one of the chosen cards.
This is repeated with cards two and three! Truly an excellent effect.
Included along with two Bicycle gimmicks, one red and one blue, is the heretofore unpublished routine Rising Transpo, and it's an absolute killer: Two cards are selected. The first slowly rises from the center of the deck and is tossed face down to the table. A magical gesture and another card rises...but it's the same card as the one just tabled. The tabled card is turned over – it has become the second selection. The gimmick makes this two-phase effect almost automatic.
Comes complete with 8 page instructional booklet and two Bicycle backed gimmick cards.
Have any card selected, signed and then returned to the deck. The signed card magically jumps to the top of the deck several times. This time place a large red heart sticker on the back of the signed card. And the card is lost in the deck.
Without any funny moves or cover the deck is tapped on the back of the spectators hand. The heart INSTANTLY and VISUALLY appears on the back of the top card. This card is turned over and is the spectators signed card.
Next, the magicain takes out a lighter, lights it, and holds it under the wrong card: "Sometimeswhen you heat the card, it changes". The card is turned over, only to reveal the spectators selection.
Okay, so far nothing new...Read this: The magician now attempts to change the selection back to the wrong card again. For a second time the lighter is held under the card, but this time the card got seemingly TOO hot, which caused the ink of the card to run! when the card is shown again, the face of their selection has actually melted away! Visually and magically, the card is "restored" back to its original condition, and can be handed out for examination!
