The Rat Trap Other Snappy Effects You Can Do With Your Little Deck
This is a second release of Chuck Fayne's mini-manuscripts of feature card routines, following his The Card on the Seat and other Loads in Your Pants, (reviewed in Genii , August 1994). Similarly produced, this new manuscript describes two routines. In the first, a spectator signs the back of a selected card. A mousetrap (identified as a rat trap for reasons concerning the presentation), is introduced, and after much comic byplay, including a moment when it appears that the magician has caught his finger in the trap, a miniature card is revealed beneath the trap, matching the identify of the signature. As a kicker, when the back of this card is displayed, the audience discovers that this miniature card must be the actual selection that has now mysteriously shrunk, because the spectator's signature, still on the back, has somehow become reduced in size......sort of.
