The Card Through Handkerchief is one of those card tricks that’s practically begging to be in your repertoire, and for good reason. You pick a card, toss it back in the deck, and then wrap the whole lot in a handkerchief. Give it a shake, and voilà! The chosen card seems to defy the laws of physics by magically penetrating through the fabric. Harry Blackstone Jr. himself declared, “The Card Through the Handkerchief is one of the classics of card magic. Performed correctly, it is as strong an effect as you could wish for.” (And if Harry said it, you know it’s the real deal.)
On this DVD, you’ll be treated to five top-notch performers, each bringing their own cheeky twist to this classic. First up is Tommy Wonder, who presents a jaw-dropping version that doesn’t even require palming (yes, you read that right). Then we have Paul Potassy, who transforms this into a stage-sized spectacle. Daryl follows with a clever little spin on the traditional method, whilst Michael Ammar rolls out a version that pays homage to Stanley Collins—where the card penetrates both the handkerchief and the card case. Rounding it all off, Patrick Page shares some cracking tips on performing this as a platform trick and how to let the spectator do the honours of producing their own card.
This trick was a favourite of both Houdini and Nate Leipzig, and with good reason. It employs everyday items to create an utterly astonishing effect, and with the guidance from these five magic maestros, you’ll find yourself performing this classic in no time at all (and probably impressing your mates along the way).
