Magneteeze (Maurice The Great)......$15.00
After finishing with some other card tricks, the performer talks about
the impossibilities of magnetizing paper, but being a magician he
thinks he's solved the problem.
The performer removes the face card of the pack and rubs it briskly
on his shirt sleeve. The card is placed back on the face of the pack
but falls to the floor. Another card is removed from the face of the
pack and rubbed on the performer's hair but when placed back onto
the face of the deck, it too, falls off and onto the floor.
Then the performer remembers that the cards need to be rubbed on
both the sleeve and in the hair for it to work. The next card used is
rubbed on the sleeve and hair and when placed back on the face of
the pack, it is seen to adhere to the pack. The card is pulled down
about halfway from the other card behind it, and is seen to still be
adhering to the card it is touching. Now the second card, the third
card, and on up to the eighth card from the face of the pack, are all
pulled slowly downwards from each other and they are all seen to be
adhering to each other.
The remaining cards from the pack are placed aside as the eight
cards are held in a horizontal position without falling apart. The cards
are reversed to show their backs. Finally the eight magnetized(?)
cards are closed back up and squared and freely shown in a fan.
There seems to no explanation of the mysterious forces at play.
You receive the specially prepared Fox Lake cards, having blue
backs, and the instructions. You must supply the regular Fox Lake
pack to match.
