Materializing spectator's thought onto a signed blank card...

Imagine being able to turn a SIGNED double blank card into a thought of playing card. Front AND Back, with the spectator's SIGNATURE on the FACE of the card!

The most talked about underground effect 2009 is finally hitting the market. Equip yourself with one of the most powerful and practical tool in your arsenal.

"There is a point in magic where the spectators fool themselves... This effect exploits that to the max. I can tell you from performing this, it's a beautiful moment for the participant and the performer. I call this effect 'Something From Nothing'! "
- Andrew Gerard from Mind Freak

"A visual, mental miracle that happens in their hands, this is an offbeat, simple effect that gets amazing reactions!"
- Bro Gilbert from True Astonishment Project

Sup G? If not now, soon, the answer to that question will be "My product sales; My Name Recognition; The Popularity of Imagine." Or something along those lines. This effect is killer. The method is even killer-er. It's super simple and requires minimal spectator management, and you get a whole lot of magic out of such a simple, yet powerful idea. The DVD quality is excellent (barring a few lighting problems). The teaching is solid. You learn, in great depth, everything you need to do this effect.

The effect is simply this: A spectator signs a double blank card and holds it in their hands. Then a card is "selected" while the spectator is already holding the double blank signed card. When they reopen their hands, the double blank card is gone. In it's place is the card they selected with their signature on it.

Think about that. A blank card is signed; then a card (3 of hearts . . . or whatever) appears on what used to be blank on both sides. That's powerful, and it's not a pipe dream.

There are a few techniques taught . . . the one sleight bummer is that for strolling it can be a little bit of a pain . . . you have to carry around a bunch of loose folded cards in your pocket. That really is the only downside. The effect is so solid that any DVD issues can easily be overlooked. Even considering the extra "work" required for strolling, this is still a solid 5 star product. However, from a marketing perspective, the DVD should have come with a deck of double sided blank cards (or at least a good stack of 15 or 20). I'm just not a fan of the one-trick-no-props DVDs, so for that, it lost a 1/2 star. Final verdict . . . GEM 4.5 Stars.
