A chosen card disappears from the deck and cannot possibly appear in your pocket, while one hand stays there the entire time. Simple, powerful, and perfect for close-up performances.
Sometimes the strongest magic is also the simplest.
One Card In My Pocket by Mark Elsdon is a stunning card wonder with a crystal-clear effect: a chosen card disappears from the deck and impossibly appears in your pocket — while one hand remains in your pocket the entire time.
The result is a routine that looks impossible, is simple to perform, and leaves a huge impression on both laymen and magicians.
Before the trick begins, impose an extra challenge on yourself.
To prove that no sleight of hand or suspicious actions are taking place, put one hand in your pocket and leave it there for the entire routine.
With your free hand, you leaf through the deck. The spectator calls stop whenever he wants and looks at his card.
The card game is closed.
No suspicious movements.
No substitutions.
No complicated manipulations.
When you subsequently spread the cards face up, the chosen card turns out to have completely disappeared.
Then comes the impossible moment.
Slowly, you take your hand out of your pocket.
You hold only one card.
And of course, that is exactly the chosen card.
The power of this routine lies in its simplicity. Everyone immediately understands what is happening, so all attention is fully focused on the impossible end result.
The effect is:
Please note: deck of cards not included.
This is exactly the kind of effect that professional magicians like to carry with them at all times. Small enough for your pocket, strong enough to leave an entire group of people speechless.
One Card In My Pocket is a reputation builder: simple, direct, and completely impossible in the eyes of your audience.
