Effect

Seven ancient playing card replicas are shown. Six of them are black spot cards and the last a King of Diamonds.As the performer relates the following story he carries out the actions of the swindler. He tells of how the original proprietor of this game would divide the seven cards into two groups and ask the spectators to wager as to which group contains the Diamond card. An elderly Gypsy woman, having wagered and lost, placed a curse upon the man and his game. From that day on, whenever the man tried to operate his game, he finds to his dismay that all the cards are winners and the performer fans them out to show all normal backs and King of Diamond faces! An amazing effect with an enchanting story.Comes complete with all the necessary cards and detailed instructions.

Nice Packet Trick/Sub-Par cards Report this review

(This review is for Gypsy Curse trick)
I enjoy the effect of this packet trick and it requires practice. I'm fairly new to magic and I'm not a big fan of learning magic through written instructions only, so I wish it offered some sort of video demonstration. I had to research some of the moves due to my newness to magic but I figured it out. My largest frustration is the quality of the cards. They are not cut even which makes handling harder and frankly just bothers me by the feel. It really appears like each card was cut out by hand, they are that different. Also, the finish is not very good so this also leads to a less than desired feel and handling of the cards.

This is a packet trick that has been around since I was a teen. (that's a long time). First put out by Emmerson and West, I think. The story line is great. If you can do the Hammond and Elmsly counts, you will have no problem. If you can't it is taught in the instructions. The effect is strong and the story is a little "spooky". The cards are designed to look old. Also the cards are laminated so they will last a long time. The price is so cheap for what you get in my opinion. If you like packet tricks this is a winner!!!!!

The effekt is SO STRONG, at least I think so. A bad thing is that you can't change the routine, at least not without working on it a lot. Also I think it would be better with regular cards. But It is a GREAT effekt!
