"When Peter performs Invasion of the Body Snatchers, I always get goosebumps! No other "Packet Trick" in the entire world of magic has done that. And I've seen a lot of packet tricks in the world of magic. This is the perfect piece of Close-up Magic Theatre!"
- Bill Abbott

Invasion of the Bodysnatchers was the first published in Peter Samelson's book Theatrical Close-up. Using Peter Kane's timeless Wild Card packet card trick as a launching pad, Peter married it with a presentation based on the cult classic sci-fi film Invasion of the Bodysnatchers circa 1956 and created a veritable classic of close-up magic theatre.

Bill Abbott Magic is proud to partner with Peter to bring you the complete work on Invasion of the Bodysnatchers that includes the necessary cards, wallet, printed script and DVD instructions. As a bonus we've included Peter performing the effect on TV in 1973(!) on a show entitled Behind the scenes hosted by the hilarious Jonathan Winters.

Fantastic; relatively easy moves and great, GREAT, story. If the audience is older you can reminisce about the movie during your intro, but if the audience is younger you can just cut to the story. The audience is left with a great tale, and a mystery of magic. Where did the people go?

This by far is my favorite routine of this old old effect I have collect many versions of this effect & I have to say this is on top of my list! You can tell he gave so much time to perfect it.
