Jumbo Rising Card & Houlette

Mikame

(Based on 1 review)
Several cards are freely selected. The spectators replace the cards and shuffle the deck. The deck is placed into the houlette and then, one by one, each selected card slowly rises from the deck as the spectators concentrate on their cards. A beautifully finished, hand turned hou-lette holds the 33/4 x 55/8-inch jumbo deck. The precision clockwork mech-anism provides smooth and accurate delivery of each chosen card. This prop exemplifies Mikame Craft’s inimitable attention to detail.

I have several jumbo card rise apparatus. Two are electronic. They are my favorite because my lovely assistant can operate the mechanism when I am well away from the cards, which makes the effect very magical.

The Mikame is well made but mechanical, which means that the magician has to flip a switch to start the action. I had hoped that the mechanism would allow me to activate it with a thread, but that is not the case.

Other than having to initiate the action in close proximity to the houlette, this is a wonderfully made rising card effect. The cards rise slowly and then tip to the size when they are 3/4 out of the deck. With the electronic card rises the cards can be stopped before they tip to the side, which is a second major advantage to the electronic models, along with the ability to initiate action while away from the cards.

For the price, the Mikame is a good buy, a dependable mechanism, and a beautiful product.
