Monkey in the Middle - Bill Goldman

£8

When I first saw this effect, it completely fooled me. It’s not a new effect; however, if you have not seen it before, it will knock you out too.

A spectator freely selects a card from a completely normal (even borrowed) pack and signs their name across the face to eliminate the possibility of duplicates. The spectator’s selection is then returned to the pack. The magician sets the deck down and displays two cards from a different deck, which are freely shown and then placed on top of the deck face-up.

He snaps his fingers, and with absolutely no moves or funny business whatsoever, spreads the face-up cards. Sandwiched in between is one face-down card! When the spread is turned over, the sandwiched card is seen to be the spectator’s signed selection!

Resets instantly. Straightforward, visual effect. Ends with an ungimmicked deck ready for your next trick.

Great trick… Fooled me completely.
