Excalibur
Mark Leveridge
This is the cleanest 'card stab' imaginable! A deck is freely displayed and can even be handed to a spectator to look at. A card is genuinely freely chosen and signed before being shuffled back into the deck.
An attractive 6" pewter sword is displayed - EXCALIBUR! The deck is completely wrapped in tissue paper, and to a humorous patter line the sword is thrust down through the package.
The paper is carefully pulled away to reveal the sword slicing the deck somewhere near the centre. All the cards above the sword are lifted away and the card immediately below the sword is the signed selection!
No sleight of hand, this is a delight to perform. You receive the deck, a special gimmick (which can be removed from the deck leaving the deck entirely normal), the attractive pewter sword (which can be examined) and full instructions.
