Monkey In The Middle

Hate to keep pointing to Penguin but check this out. This time it is not an instant download but does have free flat pack shipping to anywhere in the world.

Monkey In The Middle.
A selected signed card appears instantly between 2 jokers place on top of the deck by the spectator.
Looks good go check the video.

Funny thing is... this is VERY VERY old.

At least 10 years old. Maybe even more than that. It also uses a classic method every magician is familiar. That said, it's a great trick which works well.

I think Goldman put this effect on the market about 15 years ago at least.
Great trick.

Penguin is always putting something on like it is something new sometimes with a little twist. They market to kids that are born 10 to years ago so it is new to most of them. I thought the look of what the hell on the guys face was worth checking out. This for sure is a great trick.

Great trick indeed, but NOT completely self-working!

Hmm... I'm intrigued. So do they send you gimmicks? Is it worth me investing in?
Now you see me...

You can get everything you need to make a lifetime of gimmicks from a place that sells model cars ;)

Simon

I like to support the original Goldman effect so mine is on it's way. :D

There is something much better you can use than something you get from a hobby shop or hardware store without fear of brain damage occurring and will last a lifetime and can go into your small travel kit.

Check your messages. ;)

Follow up for those that care.

I just watched the instructional video and he is excellent. He goes over it many many times not just a fast one time through you have to back up and a see again. I wouldn't have thought of many of the ways he is doing the handling you don't notice in the online demo of this that makes it look so good. And the tips he ads makes it so easy and convincing. Sure you can make your own gimmick but getting it already done and being able to watch the handling and the tips provided makes this worth every penny of the small amount of $19.95 just my opinion and sticking to it. :mrgreen:
