Here is a review of a great little card trick I saw the other day, simply called MELT:

EFFECT: The magician displays a plastic wallet that has 2 cards in it, 1 in each sleeve. He asks the spectator to put his hand out and places the 2 cards face to face on the spectator's hand. He then tells him to push the cards together with the other hand, a bit like a sandwich. As soon as the spectator sandwiches the card the magician says "not that hard! and when the spectator opens his hands the top card is blank and the pips of the card can be found on the back of the bottom card. He literally pushed the pips/face design through the cards!!

REVIEW: This a little gem of a trick. Just a quickie, but it is so powerful, and all the magic happens in the spectator's hands. It is great to carry around as its just a small wallet with 2 cards. It fooled me the first time I saw it!! Its also easy to do. It retails for around £15 but I don't know where its sold (apart from my local shop - Kaymar).

Hi,

Alakazam Magic own the rights to Melt/Melt-down the card effect.

Regards

Peter

Originally put out by Tony Curtis as "Melt" before the Expert Magic "Melt" was put out, now Peter of Alakazam has bought the rights the title was obviously changed to avoid confusion.

I think it's a little pricey for what it is, but I also have to say it IS a cute quicky which is simple and I DO often have it in a pocket when doing walk around. I used to sell it myself at one time, so it must be good

Hocus Pocus also sells it and it is cheaper : )

I bought two of these from JB and just love it.

Is it called "Meltdown" by Tony Curtis?
$24.95 at Hocus-Pocus.

I must agree with you guys,I have this and think it's excellent.
It certainly fooled me first time I saw it performed.
I also came up with a routine using this and a blank-faced deck.Recommended.

It costs £10 in a shop near me and looks amazing

Greetings Everyone,

I am currently writing a manuscript with some different ideas on handling and presentation for this wonderful effect. If anyone has any ideas they would like to contribute, please feel free to contact me. If we use your idea in the project, you will receive a complimentary copy of the complete finished product. Thank you very much and we look forward to your submissions!
