Deck Switching Box This ingeniously clever solid wooden inlaid card box, holds 2 decks of cards. The box will let you effortlessly and secretly switch one deck for another, while making it appear to your spectator that you are using the ORDINARY deck he just thoroughly examined!
For example, let your spectator examine an ordinary deck. Then place that deck in the box, and with the slight misdirection of asking the spectator to look at his cards, the deck is instantly changed in plain sight. You can then remove the deck from the box, but you aren't taking out that ordinary deck- you've now secretly switched it for your trick deck! The spectator THINKS you are using the same deck he just examined, shuffled and handled. But no! Now you can proceed with your card routine using your trick deck- and watch the amazement happen! Yes, it's THAT EASY!
Limited only by your imagination.
Change a red deck of cards in a red box into a BLUE deck of cards in a red box! Change a deck of cards into a deck of JOKERS! Change a shuffled deck of cards into a set up deck! And lots more! |

Coloured Light Monte A great close up visual trick trick. You present 3 glasses with coloured LEDs. When the button on the bottom of the wooden stand is pressed, one glows Red, the other two glow Blue. You ask the spectator to follow the Red LED but no matter how hard they try they will always get it wrong. It's really easy to perform and will get a great reaction from your spectators. |
