Gerard Zitta - Effects with Business Cards

Product details

Imagine you are anywhere but on stage, and you are unprepared. Somebody asks you to do a'magic trick' (yeah, they know who you are!). You answer you would like to, but you havenothing with you, but a pen and a few business cards. You take out your business card holderor box, and you start amazing your audience.

Now, imagine you would take a deck of cards. It would be all different ... Nobody wouldbelieve you are unprepared!

This ebook is a compendium of Gerard Zitta's effects, that can be done with businesscards. They all 'look' impromptu, and most of them are indeed impromptu as long as youhave your business cards or blank index cards.

The effects have been organized in two categories:

• Effects that are completely impromptu. No preparation is required. In most cases, all youneed is a pen and business cards, sometimes blank on both sides.
• Effects that require either some setup or an additional prop. The preparation is simple, and theprop easy to find.

Finally, nothing is difficult in this ebook. Only one sleight will require a bit of practice but itcan be replaced by a simpler one. Otherwise, most of the effects will be hands off, or justrequire common sleights such as double lifts or turnovers. There is no "billet work"involved.

They are mainly mentalism effects.
