Effect:
The performer borrows a deck of cards and asks the spectator to select any card they want from the deck (no force, this is a free choice). The performer doesn’t even have to touch the deck; the spectator can freely choose a card of their choice themselves.
The performer introduces a small square green Plexiglas lens (a light filter) and asks the spectator to examine it.
The performer hands the spectator a marker or pen and asks the spectator to sign their name on both sides of the playing card.
Once the card is signed the performer holds the card flat with either the face or the back facing up. He holds the green lens over top of their playing card and signature. Light will pass through the lens and cast a green shadow or glow over top of their playing card and their signature. The lens can be moved around above the card showing the green glow moves with the lens.
The performer now asks the spectator to say stop at any time and the performer will attempt to freeze time, and if it works, the light will actually be captured onto their card. The performer moves the lens above the card in small motions showing the green glow is still moving with the lens, but never lets the lens touch the card.
The spectator yells “Stop!” and the lens is pulled away, but the green glow is left behind on part of the card and OVER TOP of their signature. The card can then be handed out for examination and left for the spectator to keep!

Looks pretty cool, looking forward to some reviews. Can you stop at different places, leaving the mark wherever they want?

Can everything be examined? Angle issues?

When the "glow" left on the card, does it look like a green stain vs. a glow? I'm trying to get what the audience experiences...much like photo paper from the sun...

It sounds interesting ill keep my eye open for this one....

Guys read the description and watch the demo again.. it explains everything very clearly and answers all of those questions.... lol


Bernardo Rodriguez

Is THAT the demo video?!

Dude! it says demo at the top...LOL

Doooood!

Allow me to make it clearer:

Is that poor-resolution webcamish video the demo of this effect?

Demo video with demo quality. Ew!

I agree about the demo...I got the idea of the trick but I would have liked to see more, even in the portions of the trick that he shows its hard to see because the quality isn't that great.

The demo looks fine, I'm sure many of you would prefer a higher quality video with special effects & jumpy edits that doesn't show the effect.


Mike

It seems that invests more on the quality of his effects than video. I have elevator and THE ONE, and both have poor demo quality as well instruction video. The gimmicks and effects are top quality though (at least for the two that I have, well more so for THE ONE lol).

Maybe I saw a different demo but it looks fine to me. Both it and the description (and the fact that it's a Peter Loughran release) have me pretty much sold.

Can this be done inside?

It would seem that it could. Simply using the overhead lights of a room should provide enough light to filter through the lens of the apparatus. I am just guessing, but I do think that it would work inside.


Ray

I think it looks wonderful. My only question is if it requires anything proprietary that needs to be replaced/refilled, etc, through Peter, or if any such replacements/refills are widely available through other sources.

--Josh

What a whacky idea for a trick. Seems like a pretty creative, quirky plot. Like the way the demo shows the light moving freely before the freeze. I'd bet that little kids would like this one, too, especially since it doesn't require the spectators to understand or memorize card values.

You saw the light moving before the freeze? I saw just the opposite.

Hey Josh, there are no refills to buy, or anything extra to buy from me. The product includes everything, except for a deck of cards of your choice, and a pen or sharpie for your spectators to use to sign the cards. There are also different effects that the gimmick can be used for aside from the standard plot/effect.

The light is seen to move freely over top of the card before the freeze. Some shots in front of the specators show this on the demo, while some of the static shots show just the glow. I realize that due to the cloudy day it is harder to make out the glow moving while captured on film in some shots. The effect/and the effect of the light moving before the freeze is much much more visual to see in person(even on a cloudy day).

This can be done inside under most conditions with regular light. Or light that is directly above the lens in dimmer conditions.

P.

Wow, looks and sounds great! And since it can be done inside under most normal lighting conditions, I'm definitely getting this one. Can't wait! Don't get excited about too many tricks anymore, but this one has my attention. Love the tricks where spectators get a souvenir also! I saw today that it's already for sale at Hocus-Pocus. Thanks Peter!

I am a sucker for tricks with a new plot! This fits the bill!
