A one-handed, insanely visual, cover free version of Roy Walton's Card Warp!

Sigillum Diaboli is not only a trick title that'll win you a game of Scrabble, it is also the most VISUAL twist on the classic Roy Walton Card Warp routine in existence!

Imagine taking a selected card and having it signed. You then draw a mysterious sign onto the selection - the "Sigillum Diaboli" or the Mark of the Devil - explaining how it will cause the playing card to reveal its 'true colours'.

And indeed it does! Visually, and with the card held at the finger tips of a single hand, the card turns INSIDE OUT, with half of it face up and half face down!

Almost instantly, the card completely turns face up, while again just held in one hand!

But then comes the killer. Folding the card into quarters with the face being hidden, a mere shake VISUALLY turns the whole card face out!

This is a DYNAMITE routine with CRAZY visuals! The entire effect occurs with the card held in one hand and with no cover what so ever, which just makes it look TOTALLY impossible!

Bear in mind that you can use any cards, there are no forces and the reset is quicker than Vanessa Feltz eating a Jaffa Cake.

SIGILLUM DIABOLI. Don't do card tricks - toy with heaven and hell instead.

BONUS

Transposition! - A great off-beat copper silver effect with folded playing cards where one changes places with another ONE HALF AT A TIME! Using the same moves as Sigillum Diaboli this is a GREAT bonus item that will let the magic happen in the spectator's hands!

The Mint - Do you normally eat a packet of Polo mints (or Lifesavers for our American chums) and throw the packaging away? NOT ANYMORE YOU DON'T! From now on you'll be using it to forge money instead. No, REALLY!

A storming DVD from the established creative ninja and magical mad man that is Alan Rorrison.

Go on - You know you want to!

Roy Walton’s now legendary “Card Warp” is a true classic of card magic. It would be almost impossible to keep up with all the versions of this piece of magic that exists. And now, we have another version. Not that it is a bad thing, in fact it is fun to see all the thinking that has gone into this visual baffler.

Sigillum Diaboli is a DVD by Alan Rorrison. It is a one handed, no cover card, visual handling. Alan has attached a nice presentation along with it. The DVD is well produced, it is easy to follow and the teaching is great.

Alan Rorrison does a good job of crediting. There are other versions of a no cover card handling that have come before Alan’s however, I think he still gets a pat on the back for his crediting, especially since this is quickly becoming a lost art. Another version of the single card, Card Warp came out a while back called Warp One. The two effects are different in handling so it depends on what you like.

So do you get this DVD? Well, it depends on what you like. I think the street magicians will think this is a nice visual for them. If you are a fan of Card Warp, I don’t think you will be disappointed.

I should mention that Alan also includes a cute bonus of printing coins from a piece of tin foil. It is a cute routine and a nice bonus.

Overall I liked the DVD.
