Alright, so, just to put this out there, this is almost identical to a magicians insurance policy (the trick). If you have one of those, you might want to stray away from buying this. On the other hand, this gimmick has a few bonus features that are REALLY nice that the Magician's Insurance Policy doesn't have.

So, as in the classic effect, the spectator selects a card. This is lost and the magician tries and tries to find it and fails each time. In hopes that it will help, an "Emergency" card (really a piece of folded paper) is brought out and is shown to the audience.

There are THREE reasons however why I recommend this more highly than the magicians Insurance Policy...

1) Size:

This thing is REALLY small, and as stated, can fit in the cellophane around a card case, your pocket... anywhere.

2) Double Climax:

You have a joke option with this one; instead of missing the card EVERY time until revealing the big one, the second to last fold is that of a "52 on 1" card. This prop is hilarious in of itself and fits in PERFECTLY for this routine.

3) Cheap:

This is less than 4 dollars for something that you will be using for a LONG time. Trust me on this, you won't be sorry.


I love this effect; in fact, I love it more the more that I review it.

Highly recommended as a practical, powerful, humorous way to take up a lot of time in a performance.
