Artemis by Dante — An Impossible Appearance Under Impossible Conditions

When Penn & Teller first witnessed this miracle, they had just one word: Genius.

Introducing Artemis — a revolutionary gimmick from master magician Dante that creates the illusion of a selected card materializing from nowhere… under the most impossible, test conditions imaginable.

Here’s What Happens:

  • A card is selected and lost in the deck.

  • Instantly, it appears sandwiched between two jokers.

  • The jokers are placed aside — clean and fair.

  • The card is lost again… and again it appears between the jokers.

  • Now, the stakes rise: two new jokers with giant holes cut clean through the center are introduced. Front and back shown. Nothing to hide.

  • With a blink, the selected card visually appears between them. No cover. No delay. Just pure, visual astonishment.

What You Get

Each Artemis unit includes:

  • Two red-backed jokers with precision-cut holes

  • One blue-backed court card for the perfect color contrast

  • A handmade gimmick engineered for seamless performance

  • A built-in locking system, allowing the gimmick to be set on the table mid-routine for maximum deceptiveness

Why Artemis?

This isn’t just a trick — it’s a modern miracle. Built and tested by the elite team at Penguin Magic, Artemis is ready to go right out of the box. Its visual power, deceptive design, and easy handling make it ideal for professionals and close-up performers alike.

Rock Your Audience. Fool the Experts.

Artemis delivers the same jaw-dropping moment that stunned Penn & Teller — now it’s your turn.

Make the impossible appear. Command the moment. Fool them all.

Artemis by Dante.

Clever but.... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 1st, 2025
Take this with a grain of salt. I've only just now gotten this and played with it for about an hour but thought I should write a review to help those thinking about getting this. When I bought this, I thought this would be great for walkaround gigs. You could but it is not ideal. The reset will take around a minute to do and you do not want to do it around a bunch of people. Second, there is a small mechanism needed and if you drop it, you are probably screwed. In the video, they explain a way around this but you have to spend some money and you have storage to figure out. Third, this is not a read and ready trick. It will take some practice to perform flawlessly. In fact, you'll see the sticking points in the demos. Lastly, unless you check the gimmick every time, there may come a time when the gimmick will not work perfectly. That said, I'm glad that this is fairly priced and I do see times where I will use this. If I do it during a walkaround gig, I will wait until near the end of it to perform this. this has the potent to WOW a group of spectators, say good night, and leave them with their mouths hanging open.

Great-looking effect with some limitations Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 25th, 2025
Artemis is a cool concept on a classic sandwich trick, designed to be very visual. Without giving too much away, what you get is a gimmick that is cool in concept, but a bit knacky to manage, and not guaranteed to hold up to someone burning your hands. After fiddling around with this for a while, I'd say that it's fairly easy to flash the gimmick too early, which is actually evident from Erik Tait's initial tutorial from the included video, where you can see it flashing nearly the entire time. Great for parlour, but I would not do this effect as a close-up routine.

Definitely not a close up Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 17th, 2025
Received my Artemis. Not as impressive as I thought. Watching the video I was like WOW!!!! but it real life not so much. I think the concept is awesome and great job to Dante for his creation but just not for me.

You'll need to be sure to squeeze every corner of the 2 jokers so people won't see there are 3 cards. Also pulling the ring off without people noticing is not practical. Doesn't just slide off. I would never do this in an up close situation. No way!

I'm not going to return this just because I believe the creators deserve something for their great minds. (I could never come up with their ideas) But I don't believe I will be using this. Bottom drawer for me. Maybe someday when I bored I'll bring out and play with it.

Really don't like giving bad reviews.....

Another great video but a sh**y Gimmick Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 8th, 2025
I was fooled by the marketing video. I just know that no will will end up actually using this Trick. To lock and unlock is painful and in a real life close up performance you will look very sus. You will not use a signed card at all and the Gimmick is so Gimmicked that it's very noticeable and difficult to use.So just be real whoever bought this already you know that you will never use it. Buy "monkey in the middle" you will be way more happy and it's very easy to perform unlike this crap.

Terrible Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 21st, 2025
I'm sorry to the creator and penguin, but this might be one of the worst releases I have ever seen. It is beautiful if you get it to work like in the trailer. But the set up is a hassle and the gimmick is terribly made. I would give my lowest recommendation for this product.

Disappointing Quality and Durability Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 24th, 2025
Although the locking mechanism seems practical in theory, it's not suitable for actual use. The other materials used are also of very poor quality. The product broke down within a week after purchase.

Needs further development..... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 17th, 2025
Just got this and it will immediately go into the junk drawer. The set up and execution of this might be alright for online performances, but not in person. Locking mechanism isn't good for your fingernails. Too bulky when locked especially close up. I will say, there's a better way to lock and you should at least use thinner stock. Just needs a rework....the concept is there.

I love this and you're not limited Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 7th, 2025
It took me a little while to figure out an easy way for me to get into the final setup for the mix. I have very dry skin so my method works well now for me. One thing I would like to mention is that I not only use this with regular playing cards but I also use this with Alphabet cards and it just blows minds and I am sure there are ESP cards that will work with this gimmick as well

Moves Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 7th, 2025
Just watched the first 15min of the presentation [about a third] and saw so many moves[8-10] being done it made my head spin. This was even BEFORE the gimmick was even introduced. I really have no desire to watch the whole presentation but I probably will when my brain recovers. The device is fine which is why I didn’t give it only 1 star. Looked like a good trick in presentation but all the extra moves make it boring until the climax. Will not even try to perform because of all the practice necessary and the sleights that have to be learned. Definitely not a trick for a beginner. Intermediate at least. Don’t recommend it for the above reasons.
