Rob Rand and Magic Wagon's Ultimate Card Penetration

Post by Steve S. » Thu Oct 20, 2016 9:17 am

I ordered Magic Wagon's Ultimate Card Penetration and when it arrived, I was quite disappointed. First, I felt that the very long and very thin brass rod needed to be replaced. Second, after discovering the method, I wondered how I would pull this effect off successfully. It left me flat.

Then, I saw a demo of the effect where he replaced the rod with something more substantial and displays were added to enhance the presentation and I really liked that! I felt somewhat better about it and thought I should look for displays and give it a chance.

A little while after that, I saw Rob Rand's presentation of the effect where he also replaced the rod with something better and incorporated other things creating a wonderful routine and making it a million times better! Way to go Rob! A brilliant combination of effects resulting in an interesting and complete magical presentation.

I have a card box but not that changing card effect so I need to acquire one of those. Replacing the rod is easy because you can use a prop from another Magic Wagon product as was done in one demo or a sturdy metal dagger as Rob used.

Thank you Rob for sharing your routine. A job well done... :)

Well, thank you Steve! Yes,I had Rob Bromley's Simplex Monte and immediately thought this gimmicked card could be useful to incorporate in the Card Penetration effect. Then I started to come up with the somewhat childish story including the switch card box. And the beautiful sword of course. (Actually a letter opener.) In real performance you can make the story more elaborate.

By the way, if you are a bit clever in making gimmicked cards, you can make that Bromley card yourself :)

Woukd you happen to know what thickness is required? I am pretty sure that I can get some from my dentist. If you can provide me with the method for making the card, I would certainly appreciate it!

Thank you Rob.
