This is Card on Ceiling, a CLASSIC effect. Now, if you have read any of my other reviews, you know that I subscribe to the theory that things become classics for a reason. Crappy tricks never see the light of day after they are released.

This is a trick that stood the test of time; it is truly a miracle to be able to have a card lost in the center, the deck bound and TOSSED at the ceiling ONLY to have the SPECTATORS SIGNED selection stick. This is something truly magical, and has ONE other benefit: Most people NEVER take this card down.

Whether it be sheer laziness or memory based, the card you stick to the ceiling stays on that ceiling. If they do take it off, it is ALWAYS weeks before they do, making this not only a powerful feat of magic, but also making this a great way to be remembered by an audience. Visual reminders are the best, and if you can get one IN THEIR house or building in a MAGICAL way, you are set.

Not to mention the practicality of this effect; you have to carry around a couple SMALL things and you can perform this anywhere (that has a ceiling). All of these things are included and work brilliantly.

For almost 13 dollars, how can you NOT buy this?

Hi! This is your official PenguinMagic reviewer, B_Magic.

This is a great effect! It's something that is not only an amazing feat of magic, but its fun and entertaining as well, ESPECIALLY if you dress it right and really play it up to its best potential (which is true for just about any effect).

I give it 4 stars because of a couple things. One, sticking a card to the ceiling isn't necessarily the most "magical" someone can do, and so this trick does really rely on your ability to sell the effect to make it a killer effect. I think, performed poorly, most people may not know exactly how you got their card out of the deck, but will assume you put something on their card and stuck it up on the ceiling. The verdict: a non-entertained or amazed audience.

The other thing is that you have to watch where you do this effect. You can't just perform this anywhere, which can be a pain for someone who performs regularly or for a living. In fact, I've been asked years ago at one of my restaurants to stop performing this effect because it broke fire code.

Definitely a trick worth having in the arsenal though. I would recommend this one.

You need to have the right celing for this affect if you can find one then this trick is awesome. I like it alot and people freak out.

this is an amazing trick and the wax will last you forever. this will make people freak this is a definite buy.

This is an amazing trick, don't get me wrong,
But the thing is


Is that if you don't get it perfect in every single way, they will figure it out...
Plus you have to throw the deck just right or the card won't stick to the roof
And then you are left with 52 cards to pick up and all your fans walking away or laughing at you,
So get this if you want but be warned you must practice. A LOT!!!!

This is a fun performance that takes a little practice before you get the moves down. People enjoy the build up in the mess you create at the end. The material you need is fairly inexpensive and available here at Penguin.

Great trick,an amazing finish to an ambitious card routine and its always gets a very strong reaction.Highly recommended.

If you don't care about keeping your stuff impromptu, then this is a pretty decent effect. One thing to note, is that it is crucial to practice and practice your tosses. There is no worse feeling, than seeing the whole deck falling down without the card stuck to the ceiling. Once you have the practice down, this effect usually gets some pretty amazing reactions. If you want to do something different, then buy this now.

ADD TO CAART! this is one of the standards of close up and resteraunt magic. Easy to do, fun to perform, and gets amazing reaction. I practiced for five minutes and was ready to go...plus comes with enough of the gimmick to last 5 lifetimes!!

This is one of the first tricks I bought from Penguin and it is easily one of my favorites. It is a perfect balance of showmanship and mechanical skill. It requires a few sleights but none that would be challenging to even the greenest of beginners. Definitely a great trick for performing in indoor venues. Oz is a great teacher (as usual!)
