Card - Slingshot
CARD MAGIC – IMPACT TRIX Order from: itrix@slingshot.co.nz SUPER CARD FRAME The Super Card frame is an innovation in card frames. This is a 7” x 5” frame edged in natural-finish wood. A playing card can visibly appear in the centre. One second the screen is clear, the next there is a playing card there! Or the card can appear slowly in a most spooky manner. The frame is clear then the card visibly begins to fade in - little by little until the whole card is complete! It looks like some sort of magical television! Please note that at no time is the frame covered by hand or cloth and nothing is removed from the apparatus to cause the startling slow or fast appearance. This is not a sand frame. This little-known principle will thrill you. Truly recommended. NZ$35.00 A David Taylor idea. You state that one card, if singled out from the rest, can be ‘embarrassed’ in the same way that human beings can be. You show six identical cards (clones). Anyone touches a card, no force. This card is now ‘embarrassed’ at being singled out, and is the only red-backed card in the set – the rest are blue backs! No specially printed cards or rough & smooth, everything examined. A miracle effect with just six cards. Click here for a video demo. NZ$15.00 WEIRDIE-BEARDIE An old gag updated and routined by David Taylor. From several jumbo cards, one is chosen, shuffled back and after a few unsuccessful attempts to find it you quip: “By the time I find your card, it’ll have whiskers on it!” Yes, the chosen card is now sporting a long bushy beard! You nearly didn’t find the card (a close shave!) David has been performing this trick since the card had a five o’clock shadow! With additional ideas. NZ$32.50 ACES TRUMPS Originally sold by Supreme Magic, this is an imported version. Five jumbo cards are fanned out – ace thru five of hearts. One card is reversed & one is removed from the fan. Suddenly the remaining cards magically turn backs uppermost. When the full faces are shown you are holding the four aces. This is one of our favourite card tricks. Click here for a video demo. NZ$22.00 CARD MAGIC – IMPACT TRIX Order from: itrix@slingshot.co.nz Show three cards on both sides, two duplicates and an odd card. The odd card is reversed and instantly changes to match the others. You explain what happened then go on to repeat this little miracle and again the odd card changes to a duplicate! Do it again if you want, and finally hand out the cards for scrutiny. One of our favorite demo items. Easy to do. Definitely no sleight of hand. Let’s face it, after a while a lot of card trick write-ups start to sound alike. This really is different and good. We demo it whenever we can and this invariably results in a sale. Easily learned and the whole thing is possible by one simple move that you will probably know already. Just in case you don’t this is fully explained. “Reverso” is the ideal trick to carry in your wallet. It won’t stay there long because you will want to perform it on every possible occasion. Cards and comprehensive instructions. NZ$15.00 TAYLOR’S NEWSPAPER CAPER (David Taylor) One snip does the trick! A card is freely chosen from any deck. You fold a sheet of newspaper - and make one snip with scissors. This is a great way to edit out every lousy review of your shows! When opened, the newspaper shows a giant replica of the chosen card. There is no forcing involved and you can even borrow the deck! You can begin by reading a few gag advertisements from the paper and this can turn the trick into a hilarious sequence. A snip at the price and a great ‘edition’ to your act. Sold the world over. Will thoroughly entertain the onlookers. Sold at a sensible price. A good seller worldwide. NZ$20.00 BLANKS FOR THE MEMORY (David Taylor) David’s mind was far from blank when he created this effect. From ten cards, one is chosen and remembered. This card mysteriously rises up from the packet. You explain that it rose because it has magically shed its ink and become lighter than air. Now the spectator names the card - then you are proven to be right when you display the chosen card - now blank. For a final kicker, so are all the other cards! Something a little different so they are sure to remember it. The rising feature is self-contained. Supplied with the set of cards and easyto-follow instructions. NZ$18.00 CARD MAGIC – IMPACT TRIX Order from: itrix@slingshot.co.nz CARD ‘N CONFETTI CAPER (David Taylor) This packs more wallop than a steel boxing glove! An empty glass is filled with confetti and covered with an empty square cardboard tube. A chosen card (no force) is sealed in an envelope. You rip the envelope open and out flutters confetti. Uncover the glass and the card is there. There’s more - re-cover the glass, then uncover and suddenly it is full of confetti again! (Glass can be examined). Where’s the card then? Ribbon spread the pack and the card is back, as the only faceup card. NO replacement cards are ever needed. Supplied totally complete. NZ$49.50 IT’S ON YOUR BACK (David Taylor version) David liked this old trick so much that he improved it. A spectator assists and calls ‘stop’ as you riffle through the pack. This card is peeked at. Only the helper knows the value of the card. Now you go through the pack showing the helper the faces. The peeked-at card is the only one to have vanished. So you both look for it – and eventually it is found hanging on the spectator’s back! This method for getting the card onto the helper’s back is brilliant. You’ll kick yourself for not having thought of it yourself. Definitely recommended. NZ$20.00 ABOUT-FACE (Murray Craig) You’ve heard of the “officers’ mess”? This Sergeant is in a mess! Three blue backed cards represent soldiers. The Drill Sergeant barks commands and they respond by magically turning over on the command: “ABOUTFACE”. Talk about a barmy army! The Sergeant is removed but magically returns. Finally all the cards change from blue to red backs - with a twist! Attenshun! The cards would even pass a medical. NZ$17.50 LITTLE WONDER - A small envelope is examined. You show the faces of four cards and any spectator simply thinks of any one. Nothing is written down. Place the four cards in the envelope. Now you remove three without showing the faces. One card is left inside. Spectator names the card thought of…and this very card was left in the otherwise empty envelope! Yes - the thought-of card is the only one to remain in the envelope! Works every time to “knock them out”. Supplied complete. NZ$10.00 CARD MAGIC – IMPACT TRIX Order from: itrix@slingshot.co.nz FAB FOUR (David Taylor) You’ll love this, “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!” Nothing to do with a certain pop group from the sixties but a simply FABulous trick using four cards. A spectator thinks of any one, keeping it a secret. You remove one card from the fan. WOW – it’s the mentally selected card! Another spectator is shown the fan and names any card aloud. This is the same card thought of by the first helper! Then all four cards change to duplicates of the selected card. This’ll knock their socks off! NZ$18.00 COBRA CORD A paper bag stands on your table and a card is chosen from a pack. This is remembered & replaced, and the pack is shuffled and placed inside the paper bag. You introduce the cord and lower an end into the bag. Your hands never enter the bag and yet, when the cord is lifted out it is seen that the end has mysteriously wrapped itself around the chosen card, hence the title of the trick. Use your own cards. $25.50 BURN-OUT (David Taylor) Any card is chosen, remembered and returned to the pack. You mime removing, reversing and replacing it. A spectator passes a lighter, candle or match under the pack to apply heat. Now for three smashing climaxes. Run through the pack and only one card is face up (well, you invisibly reversed it didn’t you?) It is the chosen one. It is also shown to have a burn hole through the centre. Finally it has been a little “overcooked” - being the only card in the pack with a red back! No sleights or forcing. The pack has only one red backed card! This is top entertainment. NZ$19.50 JUMBO CONTRA-COLOUR CARDS (David Taylor) Made in Jumbo Bicycle cards. You display two ‘blackpip’ cards (clubs or spades) on both sides together with a short piece of red ribbon that is sandwiched between the two cards. “Black cards, red ribbon!” you say. Now the top card is turned over and the ribbon is now a black one. Not only that – the two cards are now seen to have red faces (hearts or diamonds). A novel and interesting colour transfer. NZ$22.00 CARD MAGIC – IMPACT TRIX Order from: itrix@slingshot.co.nz PLINK A penetration in which a plastic counter or chip passes though a number of cards. The cards are placed across the open mouth of a borrowed glass, totally blocking this. A chip is shown and tapped on top of the cards. Immediately the chip is heard (and seen) to fall into the glass, having passed through the playing cards on route. Looks really good. Simple method but still clever enough to be a real fooler. NZ$6.95 BAT-SPLAT (David Taylor) A wooden bat in the shape of a Spade. Any card freely named (no force) is located and initialed using a removable adhesive spot. Helper pushes the card into the pack and replaces pack in the case. Now you slap the bat down on the closed case - SPLAT - turn the bat over and the actual chosen and signed card is attached to the underside. Comes complete with bat, cards and full routine. Professional magic in every way. NZ$55 MARKED CARDS - This is an inexpensive pack of back-readers complete with instructions and Ideal for the beginner in magic to learn before investing in a dearer pack. NZ$9.95 STRANGER IN THE MIDST (David Taylor) Pack is placed down on table. Any spectator names any card in the pack. You take up the pack and run through the cards. Only one card in the pack has a red back. This is the named card! Dynamic to say the least. Works with any named card. Only one pack used. For a climax the chosen card can change into an entirely different card. All the impact of the Brainwave Deck but much easier to work. NZ$18.00 FOUR-SEEN (David Taylor) State that you are holding four aces. Anyone freely names a suit and you then show the cards. Three are blank-faced (each is whiter than a Salt Lake City shirt) and when the top card is turned over it is the named card! So - If the Ace of Clubs is called, this is the face down card, the others being blank. There is no colour elimination or turning the cards end for end etc. Only four cards used. David Taylor at his best. NZ$15.00 CARD MAGIC – IMPACT TRIX Order from: itrix@slingshot.co.nz JUMBO HI-RISE CARD (David Taylor) A trouble-free and self-contained Rising Card, not thread or finger operated. Show an envelope with cut out front, and four jumbo cards (examined). One is freely chosen (no force) and placed with the others inside the envelope. In a few seconds the flap starts to move - then opens fully as the chosen card slowly rises up out of the envelope. The envelope may be torn up or thrown to the audience! NZ$28.50 SPOOKY CARDS Two cards are shown front & back. Spectators may run their fingertips over them to show they are normal. Then one card spookily passes through the other. Again cards are shown freely. That’s absolutely right - there are definitely no holes through either card and yet one card is seen to pass gently through the other - like a ghost through a castle wall. Standard size NZ$5.00, Larger (not jumbo) NZ$7.50 GHOST CARDS Neat beginner item. A fan of five cards is shown and any spectator is asked to mentally think of ANY THREE cards. The cards are covered for a second with a paper napkin or cloth. Two cards are taken out from under the cloth. These are NOT chosen cards. Only now are the chosen cards named. There are no other cards left. THE THREE thought-of cards have vanished. An incredibly clever idea. Works itself. NZ$4.95 SAUCY HORSEY (adapted by David Taylor) Easily carried and a sure-fire winner. A card is chosen and remembered. You try to name it and fail. To aid your ‘mental stimulation’ you show a colourful screenprinted board depicting part of the female anatomy. After the initial laughs this card folds out and becomes a long screen-printed horse and in its mouth is the card ... Oh no! They think they have caught you out but you turn the tables at the end – the climax is too good to give away here. The patter can be as ‘spicy’ as your style dictates. Not offensive in any way – just good clean fun. Comes with full routine and patter. Use your own pack. Click for a video demo. NZ$25.00 CARD MAGIC – IMPACT TRIX Order from: itrix@slingshot.co.nz CARD UNDER GLASS (David Taylor’s version) A clear plastic frame holds six cards with faces showing. From six loose duplicates one is chosen. The frame is covered and held by a spectator. The selected card magically reverses itself in the pile. When the frame is shown the duplicate of the very same card inside the frame is now also reversed. The frame can be examined. All cards are sealed inside since the edges of the frame are tape-bound on all sides. NZ$45.00 A Taylor notion. Drop a large envelope on the table. Six miniature cards are shown face down. Any one is freely selected (no force). A corner is clipped for later identification and the card is cut in half diagonally. The envelope is opened and in it is one jumbo card, also cut in half diagonally. What a coincidence - the two cards match. But wait! They suspect that all the miniature cards are the same - they are, but of an entirely different card to the one selected. Received an excellent review in ‘Abracadabra’ magazine. NZ$17.50 HYPNOTISED CARDS A golden oldie we love. Spread a number of cards face down on the table. Place your flat palm over the cards and when your hand is lifted, all the cards remain adhering to the palm as though glued there. Do it in short sleeves. Cards will fall free on command. No threads, wax, wires, magnets, sticky stuff, attachments or pulls. How then? Supplied ready to work. Truly a good visual trick and a clever method. NZ$5.00 NU-WAY OUT OF THIS WORLD The world’s most dynamic card trick just got better! Without seeing the faces of the cards, a spectator successfully separates all the red cards from the blacks. Features: NO pre-setting the pack, use a borrowed pack. Shuffle as much as you want. Spectator can hold the cards in their hands as they magically separate the colours! Full instructions only sent. Use any pack. Learn it in ten minutes. NZ$5.00 See our ‘Used Magic’ selection for a wide variety of hard-to-obtain props. Excellent condition, and we may just have what you have been searching for… CARD MAGIC – IMPACT TRIX Order from: itrix@slingshot.co.nz EUREKA Uses two packs, a red back and a blue. A spectator chooses one (no force) and while you look away the helper cuts the pack several times and pockets the top three cards. Now you turn back, take the pack you were left with and also remove three cards. Despite the odds, the cards match. Yes, you have each removed the same three cards! No faked decks. You never ask the helper any questions. No forcing of either pack – it’s self-working. Complete with cards. NZ$22.00 MIRACLE MELT-THRU Uses two blank-faced cards and an ordinary one. The ordinary unprepared card visibly penetrates up through the bottom blank one to position itself between two blank-faced cards. This is destined to become a classic in simplicity of method achieving a maximum of impact. You will never want to be without it in your wallet. Do it in front of a mirror and you will not believe it. No sleights used. NZ$6.00 U-DO-AS-I-DO This is the funniest card trick for a long time. You hold five cards and a spectator holds five, all faces up. The helper duplicates every move you make, but despite this your cards are all face up at the end, whereas the helper always has ONE card face down in the set. The more it is repeated the funnier it gets. This is a real winner. Any repetition in a trick causes laughs so this is a real winner. This works itself – no sleights. NZ$15.00 AUTOMATI-FORCE Now you can force a card automatically. That’s right! Simply add this “special something” to your own Bicycle deck and you are set to force a card automatically. No sleights & nothing to learn. A surefire force of a card with no fear of failure. Something every magician should have. Try this once and you will use it every time you need to force a card. NZ$5.00 TWO-CARD ZAPPER (David Taylor) - A nice little card trick that is sure to please. In effect, two cards are shown face to face. A simple change takes place (which is explained to the onlookers) – but wait a bit – one of the cards changes to a completely different one and for a climax both cards become duplicates! NZ$6.50 CARD MAGIC – IMPACT TRIX Order from: itrix@slingshot.co.nz CARD BETWEEN PLASTIC PLATES A selected card vanishes and reappears sandwiched in between two sheets of clear plastic that are rubberbanded together. A variation is that the card reappears as a miniature one, and then GROWS to a standardsized one. No stand is used in this version – it’s all at the fingertips. Comes with sheets, bands, etc. & THREE individual presentations. Exciting apparatus that makes for exciting magic. An accepted classic. NZ$22.00 HOLE IN ONE (David Taylor) Two cards – a black pip and a red pip. The black one has a hole through the centre - a spectator can feel it. The red card has no hole. Hold a card in each hand and – ZIP! Now the hole is in the centre of the RED card. The BLACK one has “healed up” and the spectator may run their fingertips over it. Drop the RED card the helper’s hand to examine. No switches, sleights or moves. Comes with additional ideas. NZ$15.00 Order your items from itrix@slingshot.co.nz CONFOOZING CARD A jumbo card is shown to one half of your audience. The same card is now shown to the other half of the audience to also remember. Card is then placed in an envelope with a cut out front. When asked to call out the name of the card in unison, each half of the audience NAMES A DIFFERENT CARD! Just what IS the card, well – when removed it is a different card altogether. Great audience participation. NZ$29.95 See our ‘General Magic’ section for a wide variety of classic and original items. Excellent magic and we may just have what you have been searching for… MIRACLE CARD ACT This is one of the BEST card tricks ever. A blue-backed pack is shown & placed down. Now a spectator names ANY card. No force. You show a red-backed pack and spectators assist in looking through the pack for the named card. The freely named card is simply not there. Take up the blue-backed pack and in it is the chosen missing card. Yes it has a RED back. All other backs are blue. Self-working, no sleights. NZ$35.00 CARD MAGIC – IMPACT TRIX Order from: itrix@slingshot.co.nz ACROBATIC CARDS From a packet of playing cards, half are placed in a pile on the table alternating face up and face down. The remaining cards in your hands are shown to be all face down. Quicker than a wink, the pile on the table all turn face down and the pile in your hands now alternate face up, face down, face up, face down etc. This is a magical and visual delight. Click here for a video demo. This is delightfully simple. NZ$22.00 PIG IN THE MIDDLE Three cards are shown. The top and bottom cards are duplicates while the one in the middle is an odd card or “pig in the middle”. “This middle card has a tendency to do an about-face,” you say. The cards are squared and turned face down. When spread again, sure enough, the middle card has turned and it is now face up between the other two. The full faces of all three cards are shown, as well as the backs. Self-working. Standard NZ$5.95 or Larger cards NZ$7.50 HAUNTED DECK (Beginner version) This is still a popular trick with all age groups. From a fanned deck, three spectators each choose any card (no forcing) and each card is remembered then slipped back into the squared deck.

These are the actual chosen cards. NZ$10.00 EASY RISER (David Taylor) ANY named card is removed from the pack and verified. Replaced, you command this card to reverse itself in the pack.

One of the world’s best opening tricks or for front curtain. NZ$15.00 RUNAWAY CARD CASE An excellent way to introduce a pack of cards into your act.

Believe it or not, the card case has dissolved away. This is a right little eyepopper. Special case supplied – use your own matching pack. Click here for a video demo. NZ$7.50 SHRINKO This is a David Taylor notion. A card is chosen and you state you will discover it. Whoops! You produce the wrong card. However with a novel gag twist the card shrinks to a miniature card – now the correct one! The miniature card is shown both sides. The change is selfcontained with nothing taken away. This is a cute and inexpensive little trick. We supply the little gimmick. you supply your own deck. NZ$5.00 DYNAMITE DUO Two different tricks made possible by adding this “special something” to your own deck of cards.

You count to the fifth card along and there is the chosen card! NZ$6.00 The safer, easier way to pay. Click here to access PayPal. CARD MAGIC – IMPACT TRIX Order from: itrix@slingshot.co.nz HARMONY IN RED & BLUE One of the best tricks of its type ever.

NZ$17.95 “The bottom of the world for the tops in Magic!” CARD MAGIC – IMPACT TRIX Order from: itrix@slingshot.co.nz SKULL OF SOLOMON Solly hangs on a cord. From a set of unprepared cards one is freely chosen. Held over the face down cards one at a time, ol’ Solly starts a circular motion when held over one card only – the selected one. He can locate a ‘dead’ name from amongst living ones and in a final routine he appears to have selected the wrong card – but he proves to be right in the end. You get the skull, the set of cards, and the routines. NZ$15.95 MAGIC JUMBO CARDS Neat beginner item. Three jumbo-size cards are shown and the one in the middle is remembered. This centre card is slid out and dropped onto the table face down. A spectator may even place their finger on the card so that you cannot tamper with it. Despite this it changes to an entirely different card altogether. The size of the cards makes this an interesting trick straight away, and absolutely no skill is required. NZ$9.95 SQUEEZE (David Taylor) This is one of David’s cutest ideas. Add this gaff to your red-backed Bicycle pack & you’ll have a sure fire “laugh every time” gag for your adult show. A chosen card will be located by feel alone, you state. What transpires is too good to give away here, sufficient to say that their chosen card turns into a pin up one of the same value – the only pin up in the pack. A great laugh climax & in no way offensive. NZ$7.50 HOW ABOUT A DRINK (Joe Stuthard) A bar favourite. Four cards are placed face down on the table. Any spectator chooses any one of them. Your cards carry the messages: HOW ABOUT A DRINK? NOT A BAD IDEA & WHO PAYS? Spectator turns the chosen card and it reads: I DO. So you win a drink every time. This is ideal for the wallet. The effect far outweighs the method used and the overall end result is everything. Cards & instructions. NZ$6.00 BIG MATCH (Improvement by David Taylor) No sleights or moves in this version.

One of them goes into the audience and has two cards mentally selected by a third spectator. NOTHING IS WRITTEN - the cards are merely thought of.

Self-contained - nothing is taken away to cause the change. NZ$3.95 STRIP TEASE CARD TRICK A spectator remembers the middle card of a fan of three (it even has a different-coloured back) and is asked to ‘keep it on his mind’.

It will always get an instant laugh whenever performed. Don’t be put off by the low price. NZ$2.95 CRAZY CARD TRICK Three cards are shown and a spectator remembers the middle one.
