Jay Sankey – Photo Shock

The magician presents a photograph featuring a bill wrapped around it. A spectator is invited to freely select any playing card from the deck. This card is left protruding from the pack while the performer reveals that a card is also sticking out in the photograph. If the card in the photo doesn’t match the spectator’s choice, they get to keep the money. However, when the photo is unveiled, it shows the card face down! As the spectator holds the photo, the magician executes a stunning double impossibility: the card in the photo turns face up and matches the spectator’s selection. Plus, the photo can be thoroughly inspected.

• Only one photo is used—no switches involved!
• Highly portable for easy performance.
• Requires basic sleight-of-hand skills.
• Angle-proof for versatile presentation.
• Quick 10-second reset.
• Includes a full-length DVD and special gimmicks designed for Bicycle brand cards.

Once you master the secrets behind this effect, you’ll be able to perform it with any brand of cards worldwide. BONUS TRICK: Jay also provides the printed gimmicks and a comprehensive explanation for his ‘Photo Finish’ effect, which features an impressive revelation of five selected playing cards.
