"Backdraft blew me away! its a brilliant piece of magic by a brilliant thinker in magic" - Bob Solari

"Backdraft is superb!" - Stephen Tucker

"Cameron's Backdraft is appropriately named. It's like grabbing a door handle with a blazing fire behind it. It's that freakin hot!" - Donny Orbit

"This is one of the most commercial routines I have seen in years, my personal favorite is the streamlined handling, excellent stuff." - Chris Congreave

The magician removes a blue backed deck and claims that he has a "lucky card" which he keeps between two Jokers, strapped with a rubber band to his card case. He shows a red backed card between two Jokers and leaves the sandwich under the card case on the table.

The magician then spreads the blue deck and the spectator names ANY CARD (No force!). The magician picks up the card sandwich and the spectator removes the red card from between the Jokers. It is the named card! The selection and Jokers may be fully examined!

That is just one of the many effects possible using the ingenious Backdraft gimmick!

The download also includes another prediction effect and a “Mystery Card” effect involving a signed selection!

Absolutely brilliant. clever, simple, easy. I am quickly becoming a HUGE fan of Cameron Francis. If you get this, I would also suggest Out/In, yet another really amazing, clever trick. I give this an absolute 5 stars. A worker for sure and in my opinion one of the best downloads here at penguin.

This is really a great trick! I have purchased instant downloads many times. A lot of times I they are just not for me. Sometimes they just require too much effort to construct the gimmick, etc. This one is different!! It doesn't take much effort and I had great reactions!! There is some practice to get the motions down but after about 60 minutes, I was good to go. I really like Cameron Francis's work. He is very clear in his explanations and is a very likeable person. This was one purchase I am glad I made.
You won't be disappointed.

Backdraft by Cameron Francis is an excellent download. Anyone wanting a trick that easy to perform and can be set up quickly afterwards will love this trick. Cameron does a excellent job explaining how to make the gimmick and how to perform the trick. I also appreciate being given a couple of variations on how to use Backdraft.
I highly recommend this trick. You will not be disappointed.

This is really a great trick for the money! I purchased this as part of a Cool Box but after performing it, I would have paid full price. Unfortunately, no one really knows if they will be using their purchases often or not, but this one is a keeper. This is my first review and I've purchased many tricks from Penguin. Didn't take long to construct the gimmick and after about 60 min of practice you are good to go! Gets great reactions!! Cameron Francis is really a good Instructor and is also a likeable guy.

Backdraft Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 21st, 2022
This is great. An absolute worker. It reminds me of Marcus Eddie’s Open and Bill Goldman’s Monkey In the Middle. Or in my opinion a combination of both when it comes to creativity and premise. I have the aforementioned tricks and I’m glad I can add Backdraft in my repertoire as I love signed card sandwich. Great explanation by Cameron Francis, the only negative I could think of this download is that he didn’t go into detail in constructing the gimmick, but it’s not really much of a big deal as the gimmick is pretty much elementary and self working. Other than that, this is a winner and i’ll be using it in my walk arounds.
