Cards stick to your hands like iron filings to a magnet, and when they fall, your hands are immediately examinable. The Magnetized Card plot has amazed audiences for decades, and now it’s being reimagined by a modern master of card magic. Dazzle your audience with GASP by Erik Tait.
Here’s how it works:
A spectator picks a card, which is then lost in the deck. They shuffle the deck, grab a handful of cards from the middle, and toss them onto the table. The remaining deck is set aside, and the packet is spread out. You place your palm down on the cards, take a deep breath, and when you lift your hand, all but one card stick to your palm. You can even move the cards around, demonstrating that they are magically adhered to you. The lone card left is, astonishingly, the spectator’s selection. As you exhale, the cards cascade back onto the table, and your hands are instantly examinable.
The GASP gimmick offers a fresh take on the magnetized card plot without requiring special jewelry, sticky substances, shimmed cards, or threads. Included is the GASP Gimmick, a flexible card that can hide within your deck and adhere cards to your hands at will. Along with the gimmick, you receive a tutorial from Erik Tait, who teaches a close-up routine that leaves audience members in awe when revealing their card. Additionally, you’ll learn Erik’s parlor routine. This innovative presentation of the magnetized cards has made him a favorite performer at magic theaters nationwide.
