Magic Tricks

I bought the original when it was first released & I want to say this. I am Penguin Magic's very first customer since they first opened their online store 20 years ago. I've bought hundreds of their products since. I've only written 3 reviews. This is my 4th and for good reason.

I've been a professional magician for over 50 years, and I've seen it all. Pretty much done it all. I've met most of the pro's and even partied with some.

I've bought every single one of Rick Lax's tricks from his very first balloon trick up to the present. He's my favorite creator, Paul Harris being 2nd and Oz being 3rd. As far as getting deeply emotional reactions, this trick is the easiest way to do it. And every single time it has never failed to garner the reactions shown in the trailer.

I've done it in bars, restaurants, at wedding receptions, country clubs, backyard barbecues, at a 100th B'day party, Xmas & New Year's Eve parties, in business venues and people's homes. But the best one, and the reason this has stayed in my set all these years when others drop out, is because of the following...

I walked past a young, scraggly, homeless man one day, sitting on the sidewalk and begging for change. Instead of simply giving him money which wouldn't last but a day, I wanted to empower him to elevate his life to a new level and give him the feeling of hope for a better tomorrow.

I pulled out a $1 bill, and when he looked up I miraculously changed it into a $20 bill and placed it into his cup. I now had his attention as I withdrew the PPF deck. I asked him if he believed in Magic. He said yes. I asked him if he ever had a Tarot Card reading. He said no.

I sat beside him and took out the cards. When it came time for him to choose his Future card, I subtly guided him to choose the Wheel of Fortune card because on the cheat sheet on the box the word Hope was written next to it, which I showed to him.

At the end, when I turned over his Wheel of Fortune card and showed him that fate had chosen his future for him, he burst into tears, stood up, brushed off his clothing and hugged me. As I was also moved to tears, I realized that here we were, two grown men who had just met on the street, crying and hugging each other. I'm getting glassy-eyed just writing this. That was a day of Magic and Hope which both of us will remember for the rest of our lives.

Put this in your Cart and buy it now. This isn't a magic trick. It's a Lifesaver.
