Card-Toon #1 - Quite possibly the most charming card trick ever invented! The cards rush by one at a time, and the drawings become an animated cartoon!
The Effect A spectator names any card. You then show that each card in your deck has a little stick-figure magician drawn on it. The cards rush by one at a time, and the drawings become an animated cartoon! The stick-figure pulls a card from his top hat and turns it over to reveal the spectator�s named card!
Comes complete with specially printed deck.

Do you need both Card-Toon #1 and Card-Toon #2? I'm going to say probably not. With that in mind, stick with #2. The two effects are exactly the same, except the flip-book animation is different... and the version on #2 is much better and it's pretty funny too. This one is ok, but with the 2nd version, it's pretty much obsolete now.
This one is great. The quality of the cards is spot on. People of all ages truly enjoy watching the cartoon assistant pick out the card they selected. Most skill levels will get the handling down with a little practice. This one travels in my case everywhere I go.
Card-Toon is an awesome effect and one you should definitely think about if interested in the illusion. However, I give it 3 stars because if you are interested in this effect, I would say Card-Toon 2 is a better investment than this one.
Card-Toon is an animated effect on cards which is it's real strength. People are pulled off the method because the effect is just such a fun a cool thing to watch. For this reason, Card-Toon 2 is better because the animation is much more detailed and fun to watch. There's a lot more going on there. Also, I'm not sure if this is still the case, but when I got Card-Toon 1 it came on a cheaper card stock (I think Hoyle brand cards). My Card-Toon 2 came on traditional Bicycle brand card stock, which is much better, wears much better, and looks more natural (since I use red Bicycle cards for performance anyway).
This is a great effect and a genius idea for a trick. I'd just recommend Card-Toon 2 over this one.

This is actually a pretty cool trick. The first few times I saw the trick I was completely baffled. It would be easy to just make the deck and have a force card but with this trick, you can pick any card you want. There is no force at all. Yet, the little guy gets it right every time. In my opinion, this is one of the best trick decks out there. If you want to add something different to your routine, pick this up.
and share your thoughts with other magicians!
