Super Swindle (Paul Harris).....$5.00
Here's what Paul Harris, the inventor of Super Swindle, says about
the trick:
"This incredible effect boasts a once in a lifetime method. A
method based upon a new principle in card magic which is
destined to become a classic. I offer no apologies for my
immodesty. Being a conscientious writer I felt it my sacred duty to
inform you as to just how good this piece of magic really is."
"The entire routine can be performed surrounded and in slow
motion. For the final nail in my coffin, I'll go on record by saying that
this is the easiest, most deceptive vanish of a playing card ever
devised."
The foregoing may sound like quite a bit to live up to, but we believe
"Super Swindle" is really that good!
The Effect: A freely selected and initialled playing card is placed
face down between two face up Jacks. The audience plainly sees
three cards in the magician's hands. Then the three-card sandwich
is openly folded into a small packet. During the folding actions, no
questionable movements take place and except for the folded
cards, the performer's hands are completely empty. When the
folded cards are unfolded, the selected card has completely
vanished! It is really and truly gone! When the deck is spread, the
initialled selected card is found reversed in the center of the
spread! During the entire procedure there is no lapping, palming,
or complicated sleights.
