The Divided QueenThis effect was inspired by Jim Steinmeyer's illusion, "Modern Art." Your assistant (Queen of Spades), is placed in a playing card “cabinet.” Both "faces” show through the holes at all times. You mimic sawing the lady in half. Then the impossible happens! You slide the “cabinet” sideways and the bottom half of the Queen moves with it! Both of these cards are ungimmicked and 100% examinable before and after the illusion.

She is then restored. Both the assistant and the cabinet are ungimmicked and 100% examinable before and after the illusion.

The Mismade QueenImagine performing Chuck Jones’ "Mismade Girl" using an examined playing card. Your assistant (the Queen of Clubs) is placed in a playing card “cabinet.” The magician then closes the cabinet door and acts out cutting the assistant into pieces. The assistant is removed in pieces and rearranged. The cabinet is closed again. When it is reopened by the spectator, the pieces have fused into a solid “mismade” card. |

Printing Your Own Custom CardsMany of the effects I’ve published recently require custom-made gaff cards. I’ve been experimenting with a number of techniques to make high quality custom cards at home. The steps outlined in this article will allow you to create custom cards (using your home computer and ink jet printer) that match the look and feel of a standard playing card quite nicely. This article is provided FREE with the purchase of any of my effects that requires a custom printed card. |
FREE!with purchase of any effect that requires a custom printed card.
|
| Disclaimer: Many of these effects require custom-printed gaff cards. Instructions are provided for making your own in each book or e-book. However, knowledge of and experience in card-splitting and/or other techniques for creating/printing custom-made gaff cards are recommended. |
