Card Collector (Gimmicks and Online Instructions) by Jean-Pierre Vallarino

Description

The only pocket card effect in the world WITHOUT PALMING!

You’ve probably seen—or even performed—the famous trick where a spectator’s signed card disappears from the deck and magically appears in a pocket or wallet. This effect is loved by audiences but usually requires a technique not every magician has mastered: palming.

With Card Collector, whether you’re a beginner or a professional, you can perform this effect easily—and in an even more spectacular way!

1. A deck of cards is borrowed and shuffled by a spectator.

2. A card is freely chosen and signed by another spectator.

3. The signed card is lost in the deck, which the magician places in the card case.

4. The card case is put into the inside pocket of the magician’s jacket.

5. The magician rolls up his sleeves and clearly shows both hands empty.

6. He then reaches into the back pocket of his trousers and removes a card holder.

7. The magician’s hands are genuinely empty—no gimmick, no concealed card.

8. The card holder is handed to the spectator, who opens it themselves. Inside one of the plastic sleeves is the signed card from just moments ago!

Key points:

• The deck can be borrowed.

• It is genuinely shuffled by the spectator.

• No force—the choice is completely free.

• All cards are normal and different.

• The card can be signed—no switch.

• The magician’s hands are empty when reaching into the pocket—no palming.

• The signed card can be kept as a souvenir.
