Magic Reviews: Club Sandwich By JB Magic

Magic Dealers Description: One of the best sandwich-style effects on the market. Two cards are selected, one is signed and both are lost in the deck. Two jokers are shown and placed on the top of the deck. Without any funny moves the jokers are spread and the first card is sandwiched face-up between the jokers. The card is lost in the deck a second time and instantly jumps back to its place between the two jokers. Just as quickly the card between the two jokers changes into the signed selection.

My Experience:

This trick is an all out miracle. You will get great reactions. The gimmick is very common among magicians and once you know the secret you can cards other than the jokers. It does require some sleight of hand but nothing to difficult. Magic is supposed to be fun so come up with your own story and keep the spectators involved.

Pros: Great ending, Easy to do, Plays big packs small, Gimmick can stay in your deck at all times.

Cons: The results you get depend on your presentation. If you just open it up and only give it five minutes of practice then i would only expect that you will get bad reactions. All in all this is not a con of the effect but of the person who doesn't practice.

With a good patter this trick kills. One of the best sandwich of all time.

Magic Reviews: Hole Sensation by JB Magic

Magic Dealers Description: Two jokers both with a hole through the centre of them are passed out for examination. They are then placed to one side. A card is selected, signed and placed in between two jokers with holes in them. The selected card can be clearly seen through the holes. A snap of the fingers and the signed card vanishes. It reappears in face up in the centre of the deck.

My Experience:

This is a great trick. It has many pros and cons.
Pros: Visually Stunning, Easy to do with practice, Great trick for the card trick expert to add to his repertoire

Cons: Is not suitable for walk around magic due to the fact the setup would take way to long.

If you are only going to perform this once a night this is a great trick. Once you own the gimmick you be able to make your own. They are very easy to make.

If you looking for an eye popping vanish that will fool anyone this trick is for you. I use this trick all the time just in moderation and at the right time.

You will not be mad you bought it.
