With the talk of Ariston Arising cards, there was a mention of a better method, the one by Angelo Carbone. Can anyone give a detailed review of this? thanks.

I own this fabulous prop, but will be the first admit it is not for everyone. As with so many of these truly impossible effects like the Card Thru Window or Jonathon Townsend's wonderful visible three coin transposition (now called Three Fly,) the "ultimate" version is still a distance away. All the present versions have their own drawbacks.
I personally feel Angelo's solution to this effect is the best since the Neyhart Card Rise. But, before getting into this, let me admonish magicians that, in my opinion, the distinction between a named card and one selected and returned is a very thin line, in the eyes of laymen. To them, whether a card was named, thought of or actually chosen makes no difference to the final effect, unless the magician's presentation emphasizes the difference and impossibility. Angelo's method has a lot of strong features. The deck can be shown before any cards rise, then placed in the case. The card is not named until the deck is in the case. There are absolutely no restrictions on the choice; the spectator may name any of the 52 cards. The single named card is the only one that rises, no rising blocks. It can be immediately repeated, in fact, the first named card can descend back into the deck, then another named one rise. It is relatively angle-proof...not completely, so don't email me saying I'm wrong here. Finally, it does generate the exact stated effect. A deck is shown and placed in the case, which is shown all around. The lid is opened and anyone names any card, no restrictions. The named card mysteriously rises from the pack. Now, the downsides. The deck cannot be handled by the spectators nor examined. That shouldn't be any problem to a serious performing magician, however, this issue is very neatly resolved in Joshua Jay's handling which is included in the instructions. The risen card cannot be removed from the deck. Again, an easy presentational resolution. Big downside for me...you need pretty good eyesight to do this without hesitation. I can do it easily now, but it took me a long time to get here just because of my bad vision. The deck and case are somewhat fragile. You'll want to really protect this because if you drop the deck, even in the case, you are going to damage something. Despite it's ingenious mechanical nature, it is NOT self-working. This is probably the biggest downside. I'm not sure most magicians will give this trick the attention and rehearsal it deserves, and requires, to really master it. And, it shouldn't be performed unless it is mastered to the point that you can do it without showing thought. Finally, for most magicians it's a little pricey. It's been awhile since I bought mine. I believe I paid $180.00 for it, but cannot confirm that nor state that that is the present price. I will say this, though, that when you see it and the work involved, you will not think you were in any way overcharged. This is one of those rare magic tricks where much of the price comes from the work involved in making it and not just the "secret." Angelo's work, and I presume at least the case is hand made, is exceptional. Would I recommend it? Yes, if you are willing to really work it and you think the named card/chosen card distinction is clear to your audiences. To this day, I still use the Devano Deck (a good ol' Goshman model that has served me almost since high school!) but will occasionally bring out Angelo's deck for clients that I feel will clearly understand the distinction and appreciate the impossibility of what they are about to see. Hope that helps. |

The video of Angelo performing this looks fantastic. I will be ordering one these soon as well, as I was totally fooled.

Gary Plants also has an any card named rising card effect. Mike Close loved it but I haven't seen it.

Gary's does not involve a full pack.

The Plants' rising card I know of is not an any named card rise.

Yes, to my knowledge Gary plants did not have an any card named rise. This one looks promising.

My bad guys. Sorry about that. I guess I'm getting old. Gary Plant's impossible rising card is not an "any card called for" card rise. For some reason I thought I remembered that it was. In his version the spectators can name which of two selected cards they want to rise first while teh cards are in the box.
