Trick: Transferred
Price: £8.96 (from emagictricks)
Difficulty: 3 (some sleights to learn if you dont know them)
EFFECT: You display a deck of cards and allow a spectator the choice any card they like (no force). The spectator then signs the card and it's returned to the pack and lost. The deck is placed on the table. A bill is then borrowed as well which the spectator also signs their name on.
The bill is displayed on both sides and you slowly start to fold it into eighths. With the folded bill at your fingertips, you slowly wave it over the deck of cards and, as you do so, the bill visibly canges into a folded playing card! When the card is opened up, there is the spectator's signature!
Next, the spectator cuts the deck himself and finds a folded bill right where they've cut. The spectator himself unfolds the bill to again find their signature!
Comments: I am always wary about buying card tricks in the manuscript form but i have learnt that these tend to be the best ones. This one is no exception. There is excellent detail descibing all moves sleights and alternative handling for less experienced magicians. There are over 18 full colour pictures which take you through the stages of this remarkable effect. The gimmick you require is so easy to make it will take you less than 10 seconds to do so! An excellent routine left with a blank canvas for your own patter. Brilliant!
Overall: Buy it! You wont regret it. Its simple, quick to learn, visual and amazing. Definitely one to carry round with you.
