There has been a lot of talk about rising cards lately, especially after Angelo Carbone’s any card named rises from the deck, was recently re-released.
Below you will find the few that I have in stock. It is easy to do but requires good eyesight and some practice in quickly locating the named card.
I am also releasing a download of Derek Dingle’s rising card routine that he really liked and taught at most of his lectures.
►Notion of Motion:
The basic effect has you holding a card case in your hand, a spectator names any card. You open the flap of the cardcase and as you wave your hand the freely named card rises out of the pack. Watch the trailer.
Once mastered, the routine can become a visual, powerful, and direct piece of magic for any formal show.
No forces, no equivoque, no magnets, no threads, no electronics, just a special deck of cards and an ingenious method.

►Super Card Rise Video:
The routine begins with the deck being examined and shuffled by your friend. A card is selected and lost in the deck. The deck is held in your hand as the selected card rises out of the deck. Both the card and the deck can then be examined.
Derek enjoyed doing this routine not only because it fooled people but because the method was devious and funny to explain.

►Rebill:
This is a perfect looking illusion where you pierce a real dollar bill (or any paper bill) and then restore it.
The bills must be prepared in advance. You are taught how to gimmick your own paper money so it will always be ready to perform with. It requires some arts and craft skills and will take a few minutes to prepare but once mastered you can gimmick as many bills as you like.
You can pierce and restore the bills with any reasonably sized object and you can even do it multiple times in indifferent spots on the same bill.

►OUR LATEST RELEASE:
►The Mouse That Roared:
Dan Garrett’s routine is quick and visual where a small mouse (puppet) runs up and down your arm, fingers, across your shoulders, attacks you, kisses you, interacts with you, bites you, it is fed, and so much more.
This streamlined mouse (originally called Judy The Mouse) does not use any fur or animal products in the manufacture of the puppet. The mouse also includes a small squeaker that is embedded inside, so all the squeaks are self-contained and are not dangerous to use like the original warblers.

PS: You may have noticed that I have been offering more digital downloads lately. It turns out that my profit on a $5 download is, on average, more than I would make on a $20-$25 shippable product!
