This item was very popular in the 80's.
My version was from my lecture. It was a spoof on 3 card monte. The gimmick was selling for $3 back then. I never included any exotic handling other than the standard 3 card monte effect, of course it was a baffler as it does not use a flap. My gimmick could be handed out, as all cards felt the same and the heat was on the changed card. My lecture notes from 1977 also told how to make it. Quote:

Bloom's Visible Monte" which by the way is a ten star effect. Anyway, the Bloom effect uses a very unusual, quite ingenious gaff, that I finally learned to construct on my own as it eventually wore out, as mentioned, I am tempted to order just to see if the gimmick is close to the Bloom Gimmick in concept. I'm willing to bet that it is.

I wouldn't be willing to bet that the method is different from Gaetan Bloom's but I'm guessing it is. Gaetan's gimmick couldn't really be folded flat without creasing and damaging it and the instructions advised against doing so. Looking at the video demo "The Shark" doesn't seem to suffer from the same limitation as all three cards are held flat against each other with no 'vertical' separation between them.

Good observation. On another note, I once smoked a room full of magicians with Bloom's Gimmick. They gave me (wide eyed) credit for super sleight of hand.
But I am tempted to order this today.

The deed is done. I placed my order. Another great effect to add to my repertoire!

I wish I had an option when I ordered because I usually prefer red.

Got this today, and I have to say the gimmick is quite clever!
Nope. Does not work like the Bloom Gimmick at all. Totally different principal.

I know this is a bit late but I just joined the Café and wanted to ask if anyone had some alternative uses for the shark other than those that are given on the DVD.
The ones on the DVD are great but I also have WOW 2.0 which for me accomplishes most of the same things (other than making the card dissappear). Thanks. |
