Stabbed & Shot

Introducing Bill Abbott’s stunning effect, Stabbed & Shot, a breathtaking card stab routine featuring a surprise shot glass production that will leave your audience in awe!

The Routine

Begin by having a spectator select a card from a shuffled deck, sign it, and return it to the deck, which is then shuffled again by the spectator. An empty paper bag is examined, and you place the deck inside. The spectator shakes the bag to further mix the cards, making the chosen card nearly impossible to find. You then produce a knife and stab it into the bag, dramatically pulling it out to reveal a single card impaled on the blade—it’s the spectator’s signed selection!

As the applause fades, you reach into the bag and astonishingly produce a large shot glass filled to the brim with liquid!

Stabbed & Shot Considerations:

• Perform Stabbed & Shot in short sleeves for maximum effect.
• Ideal for close-up performances, surrounded by spectators.
• This effect can also be adapted for stage performances.
• The shot glass production uses real liquid, ensuring a safe and bulletproof experience.
• Reveal one or two signed cards at the point of the knife for added impact.
• All props, including the bag, knife, and deck, can be borrowed!
