Product Description
Tickle your audience’s funny bone with this comedy card routine! This is a full comedy routine that's easy-to-do and ready to go.
The magician invites a volunteer to participate in a card trick, announcing he has a prediction in his pocket. A card is selected by the volunteer, and the prediction removed but – WHOOPS – it’s the WRONG card! Never fear, magician’s always a back-up plan. The card is unfolded to show that the BACK of the card matches the BACK of the chosen card. Wow. The applause is deafening. In fact, it’s silent.
Trying the again, the card is unfolded to show the Joker. Wrong again, maybe it’s the magician who’s the JOKER?! Clutching at straws now, the card unfolds into a giant card featuring EVERY SINGLE CARD! It must be one of them! TA-DA! The volunteer is asked to point out their card from the selection of 52. Unfolding the card again, a huge card is revealed…as THE CHOSEN CARD!
Prefect for the beginner - pop it in your pocket and your ready to perform with any deck of cards.
PRESENTATION IDEAS
Good routines usually take a long time to hone and develop, but this comedy routine has built-in gags throughout. You are basically leading the audience up the garden path, so to speak, with a series of false reveals building to an impressive outcome!
You could perform the effect exactly as written, as the comedy builds and builds. A little bit of acting and showmanship goes a long way; appear to have confidence in each prediction, as if you are certain it’s correct. Then get more and more flustered with each wrong guess – audiences love the classic magician in trouble scenario.
GOSPEL IDEAS
- We all make mistakes
Try as we might, we all make mistakes. We are not made perfect, we get things wrong and we all sin. But we can ask for forgiveness for our mistakes, and we can try not to make those same mistakes again. Eventually, we do what is right. And the more we do the right things, the more we turn our back on sin.
The above presentation can be used as each mistake in the card trick representing life’s mistakes and – like the card – the mistakes can get bigger and bigger until we do something about them.
- Life’s questions
Similar to the presentation above, we can go through life with lots of questions. And we can get lots of wrong answers. The media, our friends and peers, our colleagues, these can all give us misinformation. And this can lead to us following the wrong path in life.
But God knows our thoughts, the Bible has the right answers and God helps us see the (reveal final card) bigger picture!
- Easy to do
- Packs flat and plays BIG!
