1KJ Inner circle Warning: We will run out of new tricks in 4385 Posts |
Imagine if cards could also get sick.....
A new Virus has just appeared! It infects cards and creates a new nightmare for magicians... On this trailer, the magician shows a card with a strange symptom which is a red dot on its blue back. The "sick card" is put aside while the spectator chooses another one in the game. But suddenly, the dot disappears and moves to the spectator's card. Then, after several manipulations, the virus contaminates all the cards, one after the other. And in the end, the red dot appears on the case inside which the contaminated cards have been put away. It's more than a simple trick, and you will receive with your DVD a true kit enabling the creative magician to invent an infinite number of routines: for instance, the virus can appear at the back of a signed card, or on another object such as a lighter, or you could show a card with two red dots. The only limits are these of your own imagination! So let yourself be contaminated....! The red dot disappears visually and from different manners (visually under your finger, with a flick, with a flash paper, with a d'lite...) The cards that are successively infected can be examined by a spectator. Once infected cards are put away inside the case, you have then in hands a totally clean game and you can easily start other routines. Link: http://www.seomagic-usa.com/catalog/prod......_id/1323 |

I received this recently, so I haven't had much chance to work with it. However, after I examined the props and watched the video, I think I rather like it! If you watch the trailer, I think you will see that there is a lot of potential with this. you also have the ability to end completely clean to use the deck for any other effect or routine. You can also give away an "infected" card as a souvenir and you can make more. The effect comes with stickers to make up to six cards to give away, but I think with just a bit of imagination, you could create more souvenir cards on your own. I would think that a color photocopy of the stickers would work well, or perhaps refills will be available. I haven't seen anything regarding refills. But, I think a color photocopy on really thin paper might actually be better than refill stickers. I can imagine many different ways to present this and many other effects to combine this with. I think this effect would lend itself really well to a variety of effects with cards and fire, for instance.
I think this effect could be a real good worker. I would love to hear other's reviews or impression of this. KJ |

Thanks for posting the link 1KJ
That trailer was bloody awful. Back and forth from showing the trick, to close ups of his ear. I think Jay Sankey's Measles deck is more interesting. But, I'd love to hear anyone's performing experience with Virus. I'm always willing to be swayed. |

Yes, definitively annoying with the "ear" shots. No one just shows the effect any more.
Thanks for the Sankey tip. I thought I had most of what Sankey put out, but I guess that would take a semi-truck full. I'll check out measles. KJ |
