APPEARED IN A SHOW RECENTLY with busy professional Richard Pinner who’s always coming up with interesting and different presentations for standard effects. And in this show he had a winner with an invisible deck routine.

The normal score is to throw an invisible deck out into the audience and kid them into choosing any card then throwing the invisible deck back to you whereby it materialises and the chosen card is produced.

Always a good format but Richard had a great presentation with a balloon that bounced around the audience with lots of opportunities for byplay which when returned to the stage was found to contain the freely selected folded card. Very different and very powerful and two steps ahead of the standard routine. It’s not for me to blow the gaff but catch Richard performing this effect and see what a good piece of entertaining magic this is.
