Magic Tricks

To start I will say this is one Hell of a trick. I use it to end my signed card sequence and Road tested it on Fremont Street in Las Vegas for 5 days.

Here are my issues.
1. The bolts became loose and fell out. Had to superglue them back in.
2. The ridge of the gimmick is way too thin and almost chipped off. Thankfully I fixed it with super glue.
3. The Instructional video was terribly done. First off. If it is not your trick do not teach your crappy handlings first. Teach the original creator of the tricks version first because this was ultimately the way better and less noisy way to perform the effect. If you try the pocket load method he teaches first, you are met with this obnoxious plastic hollow smacking sound that just makes you look like an idiot. The Cop load was cool and all but super angly and also dumb as it required odd handling of the cards that looked and felt too Nope to deal with. You can use the BS Line, oh we are saving the best for last. The video is over an hour long and only spends about 10 mins talking about the creators version/handling.

So if you buy it, skip to near the end of the video, work your way back a little bit and just learn the creators handling. and if you want you can go back and look at the no holder method that requires you to awkwardly hold a block of resin.

All that being said after I got the issues fixed. I set it up in the lower pocket of my shorts and started performing. It took me a min to find my rhythm of tricks that would lead to its use but here is my set.

Start off with my opener which is a sucker not sucker card effect where a card changes into the selected card. It's about 30 seconds of a trick.

Then I moved to the first basic phase of ambitious. After the card was revealed on top. I got the person who chose the card to sign it.

I then jumped straight to card to mouth. Not an elegant set but its decently fast-paced. Easy to follow and has hard impacts.

I then get everyone else a part of the group or who is around my performing spot to sign the card wile I get more people into to the show.

After I feel everyone had a chance to sign the card I blow on the card and explain that since I do this for a living I like to collect signatures of the people who see me perform.
I perform a top change and put the changed card into the hands of the person who chose the card. I then get everyone I can to place their hands on top of the main person hand (Not social distance friendly)

I then load the card and present the deck box, open it to reveal the resin block with a card in it. Visually slide the block out. (I am purposely omitting any pater I use, don't need people taking my entire act lol)

I then tapped the block on top of their hand, on bottom than on top again. Counting. I have them remove their hands and look at their card. Its a joker with the words "Not Here" Printed on it. I then slowly rotate the block revealing their card inside. I then placed the block on my table.
Not many people grabbed at the block and tried to open it. Some did but marginally they didn't. This got the group to lose their minds and scatter a bit. I would wind them back in and continue with the rest of my show.

This all takes around 2-3 mins to execute.

The trick itself can be really powerful. Don't try to oversell it, and the instructional video is terrible so just skip most of it. I plan on ordering a couple more as a backup plus I have a plan for a transposition.

The video does teach a method of showing the resin block with a joker in it and then switching it out but it was clunky and dumb
