If you see this, you’ll have to look twice. It looks like CGI, but it’s real! This is Quantum!

Have you watched the trailer yet? Watch that first… then come back!

Yep, it looks just as good in real life. A Sharpie marker visually melts through a playing card. You move the pen through the card, defying the laws of nature. When you pull the pen back out, you can show the card to the audience: the card is whole and intact—the hole has vanished!

Of course, it’s a special card and you have to switch it back afterward. But come on! Look at the magical moment you create. It’s actually an ideal blend of extremely visual magic and a perfectly crafted gimmick. It’s a practical gimmick, just as you’d expect from Calen Morelli.

The Gimmick (handmade in Texas by Davey “Rockit” Goddard) is amazing. The highest quality available. When this effect first came out, it cost a whopping 80 euros. Now, the price has been reduced so it can reach more performers. It’s designed to be performed online on video. But with a few small nuances and refinements explained in the video instruction, you can perform this during your close-up act.

Quantum is the perfect combination of a hyper-visual trick and excellent performability, just as you’ve come to expect from Calen. It requires no setup and resets instantly.
