ATTRACTION is a project that allows you to create an intriguing magical sound effect using a bell and a selection of different card tricks.

Some of these tricks can be performed directly by your audience, so the magic happens right in their hands and has even more impact! Here is a summary of the effects you can perform:

The Bell

: A card chosen (and signed) by the spectator is lost in the middle of the deck. The magician divides the deck into 3 piles and uses a bell to find the chosen card. The bell is shaken over the first pile and rings. It is then shaken over the second pile and rings again. But when the bell is shaken over the last pile, it doesn’t ring! The bell is then shaken again over the other two piles and rings once more. The spectator then turns over the card from the pile where the bell did not ring, and it is the chosen card! Note that the bell can be shaken by either the magician or the spectator.

Spectator’s Cut:

A card is chosen and then lost in the middle of the deck. The magician then asks the spectator to cut the deck and place the stack of cards in his hand. The magician asks the spectator to turn over the card where he cut, and it is the chosen card!

Flick

: A card is chosen and then lost in the middle of the deck. The magician explains that he will try to find the card using just one finger. He then flicks the deck, and a stack of cards flips face up, revealing the spectator’s chosen card. Note that the spectator can perform the flick themselves if they make the correct motion.

Cards in a Bag:

Two or more cards are chosen and then lost in the deck. The deck is shuffled by the magician and can also be shuffled by the spectators. The deck is placed in a bag, and the spectator continues to shuffle the deck by shaking the bag. Then the magician will reach a hand into the bag (without looking inside) and will be able to pull out the selected cards one by one!

Rising Card:

A card is chosen and lost in the middle of the deck, which is then returned to its box. The magician asks the spectator to hold the box by the tab. The spectator moves it up and down, and a card rises above the others. This is the chosen card, which is retrieved and can be immediately handed to the spectator to examine.

Card to Wallet:

A first card is chosen and lost in the middle of the deck. Next, a second card is chosen and placed face down on the table. The magician then reaches into his pocket for his wallet, which contains a prediction card, which he places on the table next to the chosen card. The two cards are turned over and are found to be identical. The deck is then spread out to show that the first chosen card has disappeared from the deck. The magician then shows his empty hand and produces his wallet, which he opens to reveal that it contains a single card: the chosen card.

Levitation:

The magician removes the 4 Aces from the deck and asks the spectator to examine them. The 4 Aces are then placed face down on top of the rest of the deck. The magician then asks the spectator to check that there is nothing sticky on their fingers or on the back of the top card. The magician then places two fingers on the deck, and the four Aces begin to hover a few seconds above the rest of the deck. Finally, the 4 Aces are turned face up and can be handed back for inspection if necessary.
