So good you can do it twice!

I must have tried 10 or more card to wallet effects, but this has got to rank as one of the cleanest, easiest, and most stunning of all. On top of that you can repeat it immediately to the same group – and that is where the "Wallop" really kicks in.

When you get this, and you should, don’t think like a magician, follow the routine and you will have a huge hit on your hands, that is just so much simpler than any of the other wallet effects you have tried.

Of course there are no sleights whatsoever. A very impressive piece of magic!

Easy to do and very convincing.

This is a very clean and logical red and blue card trick that has shades of that old chestnut the Brainwave Deck, but which is easier to do, cleaner, and can be repeated.

You start by shuffling the deck face down. As you shuffle you and your audience notice that one card has a blue back. You say that is the Lone Stranger card. You place the stranger card on the top of the deck and turn the deck over to ask the audience to point to any of the face-up cards. They choose any card and it is immediately shown to be matching the blue Stranger card. Without any funny moves the effect can be repeated immediately.

Very clean and simple to do, just the way we like them so you can focus on that all important presentation and routine!

I’ve always been fascinated by Magic Squares

Ever since I was a teen I have been fascinated with Magic Square type effects, where any chosen number can be summed in almost every conceivable direction.

This is a perfect outfit for this effect with a method that takes a little bit of memory work, but which is far from requiring the mathematical genius that it appears to need.

And don’t you just love the magic that makes you look like a genius?!

A very clever device that never runs out of batteries!

When I ordered this from Jay Leslie I thought I knew how it worked. But its so much better than I expected.

It allows you to be out of the room and still know who chose which card. A clever principle makes it all possible to do without any magnets or electronics, with a very simple reset.

The stand is well made and this item is surely a keeper, with many uses that will become apparant as you work with it.

Great Job Jay!
