Stargate by Roddy McGhie

Create a mesmerizing PORTAL in your card box, sending a sharpie through another dimension, and then allow your audience to examine it!

“Another McGhie miracle. Whatever Roddy is taking, I wish he’d share some with me.” – R. Paul Wilson

“Roddy McGhie has trapped a wormhole inside of a card case, resulting in a delicious moment of insanity. No one’s going to say ‘Oh, I’ve seen that one before…’ – David Regal

“Stargate is one of those irresistibly surreal visuals that only exist on video, but you can perform it live with items they can examine. Plus, Roddy’s explanation is complete, detailed, and goofy. Almost worth it for the laughs, even if the trick is so good.” – Curtis Kam

If we simply described this as another astonishing effect from Roddy McGhie, it wouldn’t do it justice. Stargate lets you boldly take a marker where no one has taken one before. You insert a marker into a card box and visibly move its tip to the opposite end, creating a captivating illusion. As you push and pull the marker, the tip appears to penetrate through a portal, making it look like trick photography in real life. You leave holes at both ends of the box and remove the marker, and here’s the kicker: you can hand over both the marker and the box for a thorough examination.

Yes, you read that correctly. Everything is examinable. From the creative mind behind the unique effects Sewn On, Franken-dph, and Little Door comes one of the most visually stunning penetration effects ever devised. Welcome to the future of magic with Roddy McGhie’s Stargate.
