Description
This effect uses the exact same method and a very similar gimmick to Richard Himber’s Solid Gold Gimmick marketed by Richard Himber c. 1957.
Although there is no credit to Himber (which is always sad to see) Dr. Schwartz’s version does work very well and if you are one of the many who does not own the original Himber version (since there were only 100 created) this will work perfectly well in it’s place.
There is a lot to like about this method and effect. It is easy to do and looks very good from the spectator’s view. The mechanism is quiet and although you certainly cannot be surrounded the angles are great from the front. The fact that you can hand the deck to be shuffled at the beginning and handed out at the end really is a great advantage. There are also no electronics to recharge.
Although I’m still a Devano type of guy I could see this being a useful if you really want a clean, hands off close-up rising cards.
Effect: A deck of Bicycle cards is shuffled. Three spectators freely select cards from the deck. The cards are then shuffled back into the deck, which is returned to the card box.
Now place the deck into a simple wooden stand. The stand is completely ungimmicked and may be examined. It’s only purpose is to hold the deck upright. At your command, one card begins to slowly rise from the deck! Of course, it is one of the selected cards! Just as eerily, the other two selected cards rise from the deck. It looks really magical!
Here’s the cool part. The deck is not gimmicked, the stand is not gimmicked. The gimmick is a very small mechanical device that comes and goes during the routine. So, you start clean and you end clean.
The gimmick is precision made and makes the trick a real worker! There are no threads or wires or rubber bands. You will love the method.
Comes with the wooden stand, deck, gimmick and full instructions.
