Demo: Rising Card

Packaging Quality: Re-sealable bag with printed outer sleeve and black and white instructions.

Instructions Quality: Fine for this effect.

Contents: Instructions and gimmicked card.

Prop Quality: Fine. Does exactly what it says on the tin.

Initial Thoughts: This is a very simple method for the riding card effect.

After Playing for a while: Having played with this I have come up with many other presentations, reveals and effects. The gimmick has a lot of uses.

First Performance: For the first performance I had a card peaked at (merely thought of) I then placed the entire deck into the card box and had the spectator hold it. One card began to mysteriously rise out of the box, which proved to be the thought of card.

Overall Audience Reaction: Much stronger than I anticipated.

Pros: Nicely made gimmick. Simple handling. Direct effect

Cons: Gimmick simplicity may not warrant the cost, but the idea does.

Value for Money: as above
