Impromtu rising card
EFFECT:
Another impromtu version of the rising card effect.
PREPARATION:
Take 3 cards and set them aside,(king of clubs,queen of diamonds and any other card) take a rubber band and cut in in halve so you have a length of rubber.It should be somewhat about 4" long.I use face cards for the gimmick. one is a king of clubs,on this punch a small hole thru his "HAT" area right in the middle of the 3rd club.pass one end of the rubber thru this,and fold it down on the back side of the card.Now staple the rubber to the card.(the flat side of the staple should be on the face.) Alittle fudging the band on the back side will stay in place.
The other card i use is the an indifferent card,Prepare it the same as you did with the king.Now take the queen of diamonds and glue it to the face of the indifferent card, and your ready to perform the rising card.
This is impromtu cause you can "sneak in " this gimmick at any time during your show ect.
METHOD:
Have the gimmick with the band at the "TOP" side, or faceing away from you .Have this on the bottom of the pack. Spread the pack, do a fan , you can even shuffle around the gimmick leaving it on the bottom if you wish. Have them select a card from the middle and show it around. While they do this cut the pack bringing the gimmick to center, and hold a slight break between the 2 cards of the gimmick.(this helps for the insertion of the selection)Take their card back
and push it into the pack"losing it" placing it down onto the rubber band and forcing it and the rubber down ito the pack.This will take a little practice getting the feel and right pressure.Once the card is all the way down and the top of the pack is flush. Hold the pack down with yor left thumb tightly(so the card doesnt shoot up) do your patter or whatnot , then say" watch" slowly relax your thumb and the tension of the rubber will slowly make the selection rise from the middle of the pack.
Once its risen , take it out and hand it to your spectator, under this cover cut the gimmick back to the bottom then gamblers cop it to your pocket as you grab a pen orwhatever for your next effect.now your clean.
