One of card magic's most straightforward and jaw-dropping tricks!
Since the early 1700s, magicians have been leaving audiences gobsmacked by finding chosen playing cards with knives. Over the years, legends like Charles Bertram, Nate Leipzig, Karl Germain, Max Malini, and a heap of others have wowed crowds and built their reputations on this very effect.
This DVD treats you to seven different spins on the Card Stab. Johnny Thompson kicks things off with Max Malini's iconic version as he plunges a knife into three selections from cards fanned out on a table, all while blindfolded (not a task for the faint-hearted!). Michael Ammar offers his take on Nate Leipzig's classic, where two cards are pinpointed by a knife thrust into a napkin-wrapped pack. Frank Garcia even lets a spectator stab their own signed card from a wrapped-up deck, with a delightful bonus card production from a card case. Daryl gets creative by finding a selected card through a newspaper covering cards spread across a table, whilst Jeff Sheridan takes a cue from Milbourne Christopher and stabs a card from a shuffled deck that's suspended in a bag made from a paper napkin. Steve Dacri shows how to make the Card Stab really pop by stabbing two selections right out of mid-air, and Paul Potassy unveils the trick he used as his encore on some of the globe’s poshest stages.
Milbourne Christopher once quipped in Hugard's Magic Monthly, "Card-stabbing mysteries are effective on the largest stages, on nightclub floors when the magician is entirely surrounded and, paradoxically, close-up." In this volume, you'll find all the proof you need to back up Mr. Christopher's claims.
