A show-stopping reputation maker that will have the audience either rolling on the floor or pulling their hair out, depending on your style. If you're Gaeton Bloom they'll be doing both.

"I just love this" -Dan Harlan

For YEARS, this trick was an underground secret. Passed around the elite circles of top pros. Finally, today you can learn this mind-blowing illusion in great detail from the master himself.

A single, examinable, playing card performs an impossible balancing act. This reputation maker from the mad genius of Gaetan Bloom becomes increasingly impossible as it becomes more incredible. An underground secret for years, you are about to become privy to the insanity that is The Amazing Standing Card by Gaetan Bloom.

Here’s what happens:

A single playing card is balanced on its edge. It can be viewed from 360 degrees with nothing supporting it. The magician then carefully balances another card on top of that card. Impossibly, they stand like a house of cards that defies the laws of gravity. The cards can be handed out for examination. The magician can even tear the center of the card out and instantly balance the card even though a U shape has been torn into the bottom of it. The pieces of the card can be balanced on their edges as well. The cards can even be given away as souvenirs.

This incredible effect is presented by Nick Locapo, along with some incredible wisdom shared by Gaetan Bloom on how to turn this miracle into a reputation maker. You receive a special gimmick in the mail, as well as in-depth video instructions from Nick Locapo with brand new ideas and concepts that will allow you to perform this effect anywhere, and surrounded. The Amazing Standing card is great for your social media videos, as well as live performances. Go beyond balancing. Start performing The Amazing Standing Card by Gaetan Bloom.

Simply put, this is a fantastic effect. I love the way Mr. Bloom presents this trick as well. He covers many aspects as well as subtle nuances and alternate ideas.

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that there are two training videos with this one. One that teaches the trick, and another that teaches you how to set up your gimmick. I was a bit confused when I first received my gimmick :)

I remember years and years ago when I first saw someone perform the Amazing Standing Card effect, and I also remember just how badly I wish I knew the secret behind it so I could start performing it.

Now that it has finally been released to the close-up magic community, I will happily add it to two of my close-up card magic routines where I start to involve more and more spectators into helping me perform certain effects.

Now as for teaching aspects of this instant download, I was very pleased with the way Gaetan Bloom teaches you step by step on what to do, where to do it and a few other ideas that he has honed over the many years he has performed this effect.

The gimmick that is required to make this effect possible, is something I'm sure every magician already owns. Along with the instant download feature, the first video is all about the setup which is extremely easy. You will also receive a video that helps you step by step, get the right amount of "gimmick" and how to store and use it before, during and after your performance.

I really do love the simplicity of the effect and the laymen in the audience never have a difficult time following along with what the type of effect you're performing. And even though you can sort of call this a "challange" type effect between the spectator and magician, it still gets great laughs because of the apparent impossibility of the effect.

So if you like to perform close-up card magic, and have $9.95, do yourself and your audience a favor and purchase this effect. It really is that entertaining and magical, and when those two are combined, your audience will remember you and your magic for the rest of their lives!

Really great, but unreliable Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 2nd, 2023
I love the demo videos.
I actually got it working for some brief moments, and it is indeed astonishing.
I was very careful with the handling.
But it breaks WAY too easily.
Even risked doubling the gimmick but breakage still happened.
Tried MANY times, but same frustrating results.

AMAZING! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 7th, 2013
I love this new product it is so clean and visual. I have been playing with this for hours now and I'm enjoying it. He teaches you a great balancing act and you can even balance cigarettes on top of each other. The gimmick is so unpredictable that people don't look for it. Lighting is not much of an issue either. My gimmick hasn't actually arrived yet but all already made one my self :)

Beautiful and Simple Effect Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 2nd, 2019
The beauty of this effect lies in its simplicity. A single, ungimmicked playing card stands upright on any table, and can be immediately picked up and examined by the spectator. What you see is what you get, and it's awesome. Gaetan Bloom is also as endearingly entertaining as he is brilliant.

This video is a clip of about 20 minutes of his 3+ hour live lecture, so do yourself a favor and spend the extra $15 to get the whole thing here: http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/3657 . The full lecture even qualifies for the 5 for $99 deal (http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/1902), in which case it's only $5 more than the individual Amazing Standing Card video!

The only catch is that if you get the individual effect you'll receive the special something in the mail, which you don't get with the full lecture. If you're an experienced magician you already have it, and even if you don't it's something you'd do well to buy in a second purchase anyway. You'll still get to learn the method immediately with the video -- you might just not be able to perform it immediately. It will be cheaper to buy the special something separately than the extra cost of the full lecture on top of the individual effect.

This is the first time that I ever wanted to rate something higher than 5 stars. This is an extremely clever trick....as much fun to practice as it is to perform.......and it's so easy to do. You'll be pleased with the method as well as the over-all effect....Namaste

Great Magic! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 2nd, 2013
A very clever concept. I love it when there's a card effect that doesn't involve finding their card! It can be done with business cards too, and gives options that will work with both cards and business cards. You can see that a lot of thought has gone into this, for many years. You might need a table, or a flat surface, while you don't need to necessarily be sitting down.

Great, but... Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 30th, 2020
I got this in my inbox email and I agree it's a great effect, but to say nobody can ever figure it out, took all of 10 seconds, not trying to brag but never say never. I always try to buy from the creator but I don't buy just for the sake of it as this one. It doesn't diminish the trick because it is killer but the hype sometimes is over the top... I'm sure Dan didn't take a year or a day or an hour, maybe a minute if that to figure this out. :)

Don't hesitate Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 14th, 2013
This is such an amazing effect. Without a doubt a magician fooler. Being aware of the Tt method, this really impressed me. Luckily I already carry the gimmick with me everyday for a few other effect( like I'm sure many of us do) so adding this to my working set will be a breeze. If you liked what you saw I'm the video, don't hesitate to pick this up. The method is just as entertaining as the actual effect also.
