Tool Gimmick and DVD by David Stone (DVD640)

“Except with a thumb tip, I have never seen so many clever applications with only ONE gimmick!”
– Mickael Chatelain

1 – COLORS
The
perfect Opening trick with cards! A visual color change where
everything is given for examination! The magician remove a blue back
deck out of a red cardcase and asks a spectator to touch any card. The
performer taps the choosen card on the cardcase and its back becomes
red! Then the magician taps the cardcase on the deck… that visually
becomes red too! All the cards are now red… and are given for
examination!

2 – WRONG CARD
The classic effect where
the magician can’t find the choosen card… He then takes the cardcase
to tap gently the wrong card with it : It visually changes into the
choosen one! No force, the card can be signed and the effect is really
magic and visual!

3 – SIGNED, TORN… AND VISUALLY RESTORED
Finally
you will be able to perform in professional situation a signed, torn
and instantly restored card routine… without any complicated sleight!
Do you know how to do a triple lift? Then you can perform this
incredible routine in less than 10 minutes!

4 – CARD SHARK
Without
a doubt one if the easiest but strongest cards cheating demonstration!
Imagine this : You cut the deck in two parts and ask your audience to
shuffle them. Get the cards back together and you can instantly produce
the 4 aces! (for exemple…). No palm, no sleight, as clean and so easy!

5 – IN THE BOX!
Have a card signed and lost in the
deck. Explain that to find the card, you need to use your… credit
card! Just take the cardcase and caress the deck with it : Your credit
card visibly appears on the top of the deck! Give it to the spectator
and explain him he can insert it wherever he wants in the deck, he will
find his signed card under it. But he fails… You seem embarassed until
you realize that the signed card has vanished… Show the cards one by
one, the signed card is actually not in the deck anymore! Show your
hands completely empty, and grab the cardcase stayed on the table : Open
it, and remove the signed card out of it! NO PALM!!!

6 – ILLUSION
Perform
the Sub Trunk in Close-up! The magician remove an ace of spades and a
Queen of hearts from the deck, explaining they will both represent « the
Magician, and his Partner performing the famous illusion of « The
substitution Trunk ». After having given the cardcase for examination,
the magician puts the ace of spades inside and close it. The queen of
hearts is openly put face up on the deck of cards… Then the magician
takes the cardcase and tap on the Queen of Hearts that visually changes
into the Ace of Spades! The performer opens the cardcase and the Queen
of Hearts is now inside! A visual effect, totally self working , ideal
for TV or for children.

7 – BIRTH DATE
Do you like
Mentalism? The performer asks a spectator to indicate him 4 people from
the audience who know her very well. Each of them touch a card at random
when the deck is held face down and the four cards are slowly put on
the top of the deck, without any suspect move. The mentalist asks then
to the spectator to turn the 4 cards face up one by one… their value
indicates her birth year! Hard to believe, but completely SELF WORKING,
NO sleight!

8 – KNIFE
Do you know the famous Gaëtan
Bloom’s Card Stab? In this version the spectator can shuffles the cards
and put them by himself in the cardcase! Then you lock it with a rubber
band … You then gives a kniffe to hanlde to the spectator and drop the
cardcase in an empty enveloppe… Suddenly, you impale the bag on the
knife : The signed card is stabbed on the kniffe while the cardcase is
still closed by the rubber band… Everything is done for examination
… No Palm, just devilish and hyper easy to realize!

9 – WILLIAM PRO
A
card is choosen and lost in the deck in a very clean way. It seems
impossible to find it back. The magician takes the cardcase and carress
the deck with it as for a magic move : All the cards instantly turn face
up! All the cards… except the choosen one! And everything can be
given for examination right away!

10 – TRIUMPH
A card
is selected and lost in the deck. To make it more impossible, the
magician shuffles the cards face up and face down : One can clearly sees
that the cards are shuffled face up and face down… A simple magic
move with the cardcase on the cards, and they instantly all turn face
up… except the choosen card! A very easy and extremely visual version
of the classic « triumph » effect that can be performed stand up without
any table

11 – GHOST CARD
A card is choosen and lost
in the deck. The magician explains that to find it back, he will pick 4
cards at random. He clearly shows four cards in his hands and of if
them appears to be the selection… A simple magic move, and all the
cards vanish except the choosen one! Read that : No Palm! Just a very
clever way to use the gimmick for an original and visual application!
