The magician is able to cause WORD CARDS to transpose with those inside a mirrored dimension. Magician introduces a set of a dozen word cards from the game Word Chase. He shows the cards freely front and back; nothing but a set of cards with a different word on each.
Performer claims that another dimension exists inside mirrors. To prove this, he holds the word cards one at a time in front of a mirror to show how the mirror reflects the printed word on the card as a mirrored image. He says he will make the word cards in his hand change places with the ones inside the mirror.
Suddenly ALL the reflected cards in the mirror appear normal and can be read.
For a kicker the magician shows all the cards in his hand are now printed in reverse mirror images! No short or long cards, no rough or smooth, no double faced word cards, no sticky stuff on the cards, and the packet of cards is not switched. An effect that will leave your spectators shaking their heads in disbelief.
Comes complete with a set of business-card size word cards, vinyl holder for the cards and complete directions detailing every nuance.

This is a rare product. It includes both an original method, and an original effect. It may sound confusing in the ad, but it’s quite simple and straightforward in performance. If you have read any of my previous reviews, you know I haven’t been the biggest fan of Devin Knight. In the case of this product, this isn’t just a good idea, and it’s a great idea! For ten dollars, this is not only one of his lowest priced items, but it’s the best effect of his that I have seen so far.
The only reason I deducted a few points is that I feel the props included could have been a little better in quality. However, for ten dollars, this is forgivable, especially since you get so much useful information in the instructions. It is also possible to make your own custom set of cards on your computer.
Once again, not only do you get a new effect, and a new method, you get a new principle to use in other effects. There is a bonus section in the instructions that explains other uses and where else the principle exists.
While I feel the routine could be streamlined a little bit, the principles are all solid, and easy to customize into your own handling.
In my opinion, it is worth the ten dollars to add this new tool to your magical knowledge toolbox.
