Effect Overview

A spectator’s signed card is lost in the deck, only to rise to the top under seemingly impossible conditions. The secret? The “Magic Ink” within the sharpie! The magician marks the spectator’s shirt, instantly erasing it to demonstrate the marker’s magical properties. He then visibly removes the spectator’s signature from the card and places it in their hand, only to make it jump back onto the original card. For an exciting twist, a second spectator signs a different card, which is then tossed back onto the first spectator’s selected card. Now, both signatures appear on the same card, which can be freely examined.

This effect is highly visual and serves as a stunning finale for any signed card routine. The moment the signature is removed and held between your fingertips, the audience will be astounded! Pair this with an “anniversary waltz” style effect for an exceptionally clean and visual ink transformation.
