Laura London – Card in Bottle

The classic Card in Bottle trick often falls short. It typically lacks the ability for the card to be signed, requires pre-loading the bottle, and culminates in a reveal that feels forced. In essence, it fails to deliver a true magical experience.

Fortunately, Laura London has perfected this effect.

Her innovative approach ensures that every aspect of the performance is seamless. The card is signed, the reveal is instantaneous, and the spectator walks away with an unforgettable memento.

This is the signature effect Laura employs to conclude her performances, contributing to her fully booked schedule for months ahead.

FULL OVERVIEW

A spectator selects and signs a card, which they then return to the deck and shuffle. After confirming their card remains in the stack, the deck is dramatically slammed against the base of an empty bottle — and in an instant, their signed card appears inside the bottle. This astonishing moment can be gifted to the spectator as a remarkable keepsake.
