Nu-Power Rising Cards by Abbott’s

What a clever item from Seventy years ago from Abbott’s!  I’ve never seen seen a Rising Cards like this before and I love it!  The mechanism is very well made and is still working perfectly after seventy years, so I think it will likely last another seventy!

These were rebuilt with Abbott’s permission by Stevens Magic c. 2006.

It doesn’t use any of the previously used methods including:

• Swiss Motor
• Watch Motor
• Threads – Wires – Elastics – Catgut – Hairs
• Springs
• Weights
• Sand
• Magnets
• Electronics
• Moving Rollers
• Faked Decks.

Hopefully my Speed Demo will do justice to this wonderful item 🙂

Effect: An entirely new concept in Magic’s all-time classic – The Rising Cards. NU-POWER is a hidden power that causes card after card to rise out of a deck of cards.

It’s startlingly different. Created and made at the Abbott plant.

The card holder is as illustrated, made entirely of brass, chrome plated. The holder for cards has no back or front, just a skeleton frame to hold a full deck of cards.

AN ORDINARY DECK IS USED

Here is the effect: Cards are shuffled by a member of the audience. Three or more cards are freely chosen – NO FORCE – and may be initialed – then replaced in the deck, which again is shuffled. Now, without adding or attaching anything or exchanging deck, it is placed in the skeleton frame holder.

When YOU are ready, a chosen card rises slowly and gracefully up out of the deck. There’s nothing to stop – leave the card in the risen position as long as you like. The card is removed and a second card will rise after a 30-second interval – or a 5-minute interval if you wish.

IT’S UNDER YOUR CONTROL ALL THE TIME Two, three, and more – 10 cards if you wish – rise in the same way. Definitely this is a self-contained effect.

It can’t go wrong on you. It’s foolproof. It’s so clever, you’ll love it. So the rest is up to you.
