Blankrupt by Josh Janousky

Downloadable instructions only.

You can borrow any spectator’s credit card, regardless of its color or style, and with a simple wave of your hand, the markings vanish completely. The card becomes clear and can be inspected right away. With a command, you can restore the credit card to its original state and return it to the spectator. Blankrupt is an innovative “omni” style prop that transforms a borrowed credit card into a clear object. Josh Janousky teaches easy, medium, and challenging methods, and you receive two durable, clear credit cards designed for a lifetime of performances. Unlike many effects that require you to supply the object—like pens, cards, or coins—Blankrupt allows you to make a borrowed, valuable item, a spectator’s credit card, clear.

If you’re seeking a remarkable, quick visual effect that leaves a lasting impression, Blankrupt is your answer. It comes in two styles: Thin Strip (8.5mm for USA and Canada cards) and Thick Strip (13.5mm for the rest of the world). Please reach out to your sales representative to determine the best size for your needs.

NOTE: Blankrupt has been developed with permission from Alan Rorrison, who has previously explored this concept.
