Cameron Francis – Packet Mania (1-2)

Packet Mania Vol. 1

B-O-X-!: An unconventional assembly of four Kings that will surprise your audience!

TROUBLEMAKERS: Watch as Xs magically appear on the backs of four Jokers, and then two of them leap to the faces of two other Jokers!

NO LONGER: Four double blank cards are displayed. A mentally chosen King materializes on one, only to reveal that all cards now bear the King image. The magician sets one aside, claiming the others are no longer Kings. When turned over, they reveal the message: NO LONGER KINGS! Fully examinable.

MIXED PERCEPTION: A card is picked from a packet, which is then mixed face up and face down. With a click, all cards turn face down except for the selection, which now has an unusual colored back. To top it off, the faces of the remaining cards are blank! Almost entirely self-working!

PRINTING ACES: An exclusive effect where the word ACE appears on four blank cards, which the magician transforms into four genuine Aces!

Packet Mania Vol. 2

FRYER: A unique assembly effect featuring one selection and four Aces, culminating in a stunning kicker ending!

WHAT THE BLANK, TOO: An engaging Wild Card routine with four blank cards and four sections. Three blanks print copies of three selections, leading to a surprising twist at the finale!

SKETCHERS: A captivating three-phase routine! Three “stickmen artists” drawn on blank cards sketch a selection on another blank card. The drawing then swaps places with the selection, and ultimately, the stickmen transform into mates of the selection!

DUPED: Inspired by Darwin Ortiz’s “Jumping Gemini,” this is one of Cameron’s favorite strolling packet effects! It can be performed entirely in the hands and resets instantly!

THE REGENERATORS: An unreleased gem! A corner of a card is selected from seven others, say the Seven of Diamonds. A packet of Jokers is introduced, and one transforms into the Seven of Diamonds with its corner missing! The two pieces are placed among the Jokers and run through the packet, restoring the Seven, which can be examined!
