BLADE – Warped & Split by Nicholas Lawrence

Nicholas Lawrence's original pocket illusion BLADE has received a major upgrade. With a completely revamped method, improved handling, and new applications, Warped & Split are more visual and convincing than ever.

With just three standard playing cards and a cleverly hidden gimmick, you create close-up illusions that normally belong on a large stage.

The classic image of a person being sawn in half? With BLADE, you bring that same impossible idea to a playing card, just a few centimeters from your audience's eyes.

Even more honest and visual

One of the most important improvements is that the map now remains clearly visible during crucial moments.

Whereas the previous version required more concealment, the public can now actually see how the card slides in and out. This makes the procedure feel much fairer and makes the secret even harder to reconstruct.

Moreover, the gimmick and map transition seamlessly, allowing you to ultimately end up with a normal, researchable map.

Warped & Split

BLADE gives you two striking signature effects: Warped and Split .

The routines are designed to look exactly like the illusion you want to create. The movements are logical and natural, without unnecessary or suspicious actions.

The result is pure visual card magic, where your audience sees the impossible happen from very close up.

Directly investigateable

After the magic, the cards can be examined immediately. The clever construction ensures a smooth transition from the secret tool to the normal card.

No complicated transitions and no awkward cleanup phase: the routine ends clean and convincing.

Use virtually any standard deck of cards

Moreover, BLADE is particularly flexible. You can use a standard deck of cards and easily adapt the gimmick to various standard decks or card choices.

This means you are not tied to one specific deck and can integrate the effect more easily into your existing card magic.
