Effect: A card is freely selected [no force] from a deck. This selected card is signed by the spectator. This signed card is returned to the deck and the deck is mixed. The performer snaps his fingers over the deck and states "your card has vanished from the deck". Performer points to his right jacket pocket and says "wouldn't it be amazing if your card was in my pocket?" Spectator is asked to reach into this pocket and remove the single card. Spectator removes the card and turns it over. Printed on this card are the words, "your card". Performer apologizes for the bad joke and says, "seriously, wouldn't it be amazing if your card was in my pocket?" Performer points to his left jacket pocket. Spectator agrees and reaches into performers left pocket and removes a single card. Printed on this card are the words, "sorry... wrong pocket". The performer points to his jacket breast pocket. Performer shows his hand empty and removes a single card which he hands to the spectator. This card reads "no! The inner pocket!". Performer shows his hand completely empty and reaches into his inner jacket pocket and visibly removes the selected signed card! Specially constructed props makes this miracle a reality! *Important* This effect requires NO PALMING! Complete with all necessary gimmicks and specially printed cards, photo illustrated instructions. Available in both red or blue back Bicycle® (please specify). Alternate ending also discussed. I have been personally using this effect in my walk around and table hopping work and the reaction has been phenomenal! PRICE: $19.95 Review: This is as advertised without any hype thrown in. I really like this effect and have used it successfully for a couple days now. Everything needed is suppled and it is priced right at only $19.95. There will be a video up on Bob's sight in a day or two. You can stick to the routine as written and described above or you have the freedom to change it up to suit your needs.If you are an experienced card worker, this is for you. If you are a beginner, this is for you. The beauty of this effect is that you can routine it to be a few minutes long or shorten it down for a quick knock out. I have already changed up this full routine a bit and it is just plain fun to do. The principal at work here can easily be adapted and usesd in other card effects as well and I too am already thinking of an entirely different routine, patter and outcome. As of all of Bob's effects, it is entertaining and baffling to the spectator yet not a knuckle busting handling. All actions are motivated, logical and there is never any heat on anything. This effect will also give you a mini lesson on mis-direction.I defenitely recommend this new winner from Bob. You will find a place in your work to add this effect to immediately. You will be able to see a video demo soon on bobsolarimagic.com |

Solari really came up with a winner here. Great routine with baffling magic...and no palming necessary. I have no qualms about palming cards...I've spent years learning to palm playing cards (and I use various palms in different routines. But I like this "no palm" version of card to pocket for its cleanness and diabolical handling.
Definitely recommended. A.J. |

The problem with this is that it uses all of the junk cliches that make magic obnoxious to people. The "your card" thing, the other pocket stuff, etc. It tires out the spectator with foolishness before you arrive at what I agree is a nice conclusion.

Gianni, I think you can customize it without using the routine that Bob provides... I don't have it yet, but I read the routine can be modified to your style.

Sounds like a variation of Chad Long's "Now Look Here."

But there remain other impediments to work your way around - "Here, return your card exactly here in the deck on top of this card." In short, I think this is very much a beginner's effect with a lot of workarounds required if you want to make it more sophisticated. Gianni |

2 things- 1st I thought same thing that its like Chad Long's Now look here. Similiar idea with cards in wrong pockets etc but that's whre similiarites ends. 2nd, I agree that the video appears that like said above, here place your card here. Not sure why Bob filmed it that was except that the spectator in video was busy capping the marker and left Bob "hanging" with the deck out. But trust me, as with most card effects, a shuffle, cut, etc and have card replaced is all that's needed. It can and does look much better than "here,put your card here" and yes a beginner can get mileage out of this but it is by no means just for beginners. Just a few thoughts from someone who has used it for a "few' days now.

I got it and it is another winner from Bob Solari. I am still practicing the small move needed to make this work but it is indeed clever. Yes you can put whatever you want on the 3 pocket cards and make it your own routine. It does work very well just the way it is.
