Experience the magic of Split Ends, where a card visually twists itself, transforming its edges into the center. This innovative gimmick creates an inverted playing card that will leave your audience in awe. With just a toss, watch as the card transforms mid-air. Along with the gimmick, you’ll learn three captivating routines from The P3 Magic Crew that you can perform immediately.

Ambitious With A Twist

In this routine by David Newell, an audience member selects a card, which is then lost in the deck. With a snap of the fingers, the card not only rises to the top but also inverts itself, creating a stunning visual. The inverted card is then gifted to the audience as a memorable souvenir.

Alternate Handling

Nick Popa offers a creative alternative handling that allows you to revert the inverted card back to its original state, ensuring your examinable cards remain intact for future performances.

Inverted TNR

Dalton Wayne concludes the project with an easy-to-follow torn and restored card routine. A selected card is torn lengthwise, and using a lighter, the magician fuses the pieces back together in an inverted manner, resulting in an impossible souvenir.

When you purchase Split Ends, you not only receive the groundbreaking gimmick but also seven specially printed examinable inverted cards, allowing your audience to take home a piece of the magic. The unique gimmick is simple to reset, durable, and delivers a jaw-dropping visual that will have your audiences cheering. Transform your card magic with Split Ends by John Shack.
