Right now I finish my card manipulation act with a production of a card tower. The card tower that I have takes a few seconds to put up. I am looking for a faster tower like the one that Peter Marvey did on the World's Greatest Magic (but not jumbo). So I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get an automatic card tower, or one that can come up very quickly.Thanks!!!

Ryan,

You will not find the card castle that Peter Marvey uses. He made that one himself.

Is there any thing that I could buy that would come up that fast??

PM JamesTong

He was recently talking about some gigantic card towers mimicking the towers in Malaysia (?) or perhaps it was Singapore (?)

Either way, they sounded awesome. He may be able to point you in the right direction.

There is no Card Castles that are automatic being made available. There was a jumbo card that transformed into a Card Castle that was made by a Japanese Company some years back. It poped up when you opened the jumbo card.

Owen Magic claims they have the knowledge to make a self rising card castle. This would of course be in at least the 4 figure range as far as price goes. They say they can attach a motor to a card castle and have it rise. This would also result in a special table or table top.

If you want a pull up card castle on a tray, I am currently selling my Owen model here on the Café. See here: http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......start=30 see item #10.

Another magic manufacturer suggested using a hatchback piston from an automobile, as the rising power. Another suggested an automobile rising antennia from the more high end cars. These can be purchased at any auto supply store.

There are a lot's of Card Castles in Magic Shop..
Don't copy Peter Marvey's style...

Ton Onosaka has a jumbo card fan to 2 card castles that pop out.,. so you can try that.
other than that.,. please do not copy Peter Marvey~ haha.,. anyway he has one 1 in the whole world.,.
if not you can try to make ur own.,. or come out with ur own gimmick to make ur ideal card castle.,.
personally I use the jumbo card castle from Ton Onosaka.

Just curious... How big is the Onosaka castle?

I have several card castles ranging from 1 foot high (made of mini cards) to a 5 footer. I love card castles and have heard about the Onosaka castles but have never heard the details of them.
