Excellent tutorial sir. Very nice. 👍🏻

Many thanks. Glad you liked it! I appreciate the visual nature of the trick and the fact that spectators can “examine” the props. And it’s not hard to make and perform.

@@AboutMagic no problem I enjoy the diy gimmicks

[@jasonirelan-ig5fl]

Do they sell those in magic stores? If so, what's the name of that trick? I don't wanna go through the work of making the illusion.

[@AboutMagic]

To my knowledge, this trick isn’t marketed. And if it were, it’d be a hand made gimmick. Most magic marketers can’t justify the cost of creating a die-cut system. It’s not hard to make if you have a crafting knife. And a crafting knife is a lot cheaper than buying a commercial card gaff and will allow you to make other gaff cards.

@@AboutMagic They can't justify marketing this illusion, but they can justify marketing triple surprise which works on the Gemini Twins principle. You set aside two prediction cards which are red, and you can make it cards at any number effect where a spectator names a number, and you deal that many cards down and put one of the prediction cards down and put the rest of the cards on top of it, and then the spectator can call a different number or the same one, and you deal down that many cards and put the other prediction card on top and put the rest of the cards on top and say that it's a triple surprise because one red card matches with the other red card, and the other red card matches with the other red card, and the rest of the cards are all black. That trick has been sold in magic stores back in the 90s.

Thanks Robert. Hope all is great with you.

Now we're getting into the realm of intellectional property and magic secrets. When buying a trick, one is not just paying for the price (plus markup) of the props, one is also paying for the secret. When I was talking about the prop card for the die trick, I was only looking at the cost of producing the prop - actually, amortizing the cost of a die to streamline production. Bottom line? It's supply and demand and the price of a trick is what someone is willing to pay for it, whether it's the prop (materials and workmanship), or the secret.
